The car looks fantastic! Only be driven 6,300 miles a year on average. Looks like the owner took good car of it.

Not sure if North Caroline has a safety inspection but I will mention it anyway. I have a hood similar to that one, and am running into a few problems with getting my car inspected. They are claiming it's over the legal limit in my state. You should check into that for your state. So, either be prepared to buy a used hood, or get to know a mechanic really well.

The 'christmas tree' air freshener makes me think 'water leaker'.

But other than that, it looks like outside appearance mods are all I see...
Not likin the Roush Emblems without the Roush body package to go with them...
You will be seeing all that paint on the rear glass even when it is removed after the sale.

I am likin this 4.6L V6 they have...

AUTOMATIC!, POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS!, V-6!, 4.6 LITER!,
LEATHER SEATS!, EXTRA CLEAN!, REAR SPOILER!, COWL HOOD!,

From what I understand the car still has the Roush Suspension but the supercharger was removed when the PO sold it. I checked it for water and signs of mold and I did not see or feel any.

Keep in mind that a bright colored Mustang is a cop magnet.

Pretty sure he's being sarcastic. There isn't a 4.6L V6..

No way in hell there is Roush suspension on that car. The roush suspension drops the car. I went outside and made a video but I feel that's kind of gay so I am not posting it...lmao
I have a Roush so I was going to show you what it looked like.

Also, pop the hood and look for the metal plate with the maechanics signature on it and the metal plate that says stage (whatever it supposedly is).. then open the door and look for the ROUSH serial number. Not the Ford one. I'll be adding to this cause I think you are getting lied to.

ok re reading this all, I guess they are not saying it's a Roush, just that it has Roush suspension. Still though, it doesn't. No way in hell. I mean, looking at it again, the rear is setting very high and the front is dropped. Just not right.

one more thing......just noticed it's missing the center right a/c vent. Sounds like he had a gauge here & when the PO removed the supercharger, he/she also took the gauge.
