If you can convert it and make me a copy that would be great. Just let me know the cost. PM me if you're willing to do that.

I would be interested in a copy as well. My XP8 is one of the stars of the show I believe.

I don't have the equipment to make a transfer. I could mail the taps to someone that does... The quality of the video isnt great either, but it watchable. I've got the s351 motor trend too, as well as saleen assault on lemans and the 95 race season video

Nice collection. The quality of the youtube wasn't the best either so no worries. Looks like you need a VCR and an external capture device to hook up to a PC. I don't have those either though

I have had 2 of them with more. 98-22 and 00-29. I also owned 99-19. I believe your truck is actually the one I tried to buy in 2005 when I first got into the XP8's. Small world.

You've covered all 4 years, nice.
Were you at explorerx.com then? He posted it for sale in '06 for dirt cheap and I think he decided to keep it when he knew what it was really worth. I was in the market for a Mustang at the time but the XP8 was on my bucket list so I'd have taken it in a heartbeat. Then after it sat outside for two years, he put it up again in late '08. I made sure I got it that time

It was before that and it sold on eBay. I think it sold for about 16,500. I remember it being a little nicer but sitting outside for a couple years will do that. I bought mine (99-19) for 14,300. Basically every option but the seats and supercharger, 42k on the odometer and a top notch AV system. It has sold 2 more times since I owned it. Always in the market for a red one if one pops up.
