Yes it is a ROUSH.
1. Probably stage 1 or 2
2. Mine didnt have the emblem because it was stage1
3. Mine has paper sticker on the passenger door
4. No holes either probably had them shaved.
5. Probably didn't like the rims.
6. There aren't any fog lights in the facia on mine, just where the normal GTs are.


Other than that it has the full body kid, speedo, carbonfiber, seats, signed by roush, and has a serial number by roush.

But personally I would run the vin number and go check it out in person to make sure.

Why does the stock air box have a Saleen logo?

Don't all Roush's come with Stage 1, 2, or 3 trunk emblems?

Default RE: is this even a real roush, i say FRAUD ALERT

it lokos like a non supercharged roush possibly. The sig and the vin are both authentic I just did a search through the Hawaii Police Department database and the vin is the one that matches that car. Thus seeing that the vin registers to a roush made by roush so bleh its prolly a non-sc model they made as an afterthought. The car if you like it is DEF worth 25 or more with those mods alone I say its prolly real just not the normal one.

Default RE: is this even a real roush, i say FRAUD ALERT

It does state it's a Roush Sport model, which is very basic and doesn't include suspension mods(unless ordered). The springs on this car are orange/red(Roush springs are Ford blue as I have them on my car), it has a Saleen air box andSaleen wheels. Seems like it's a Sport model with features later added and some Saleen items installed(obviously) as well. I'm sure the seller wants someone to pay top dollar for this mix & match Mustang, hopefully no one bites.........................
