I would be cautious but as with any industry certain companies / individuals find out how to get things a lot cheaper. It's possible it could be legit... worth checking out just be wary.

I almost threwup when I read this. Thats more expensive than a GT500 front end conversion just to look like another regular mustang.

^^ "Wary" is cautious
"Weary" is exhausted

They are a real shop. I have spoken with them. I wouldn't be weary about it being a scam. I would just be weary about the condition of the motor.

Other than that, they are a legit shop here in Tampa.
