Something is wrong with the blower/engine, a V2 vortech should not sound like that.

On top of that, there is alot of damage.

I would say check it out... I dont see how there could be frame damage... mabey the Motor or charger should not sound like that I don't know, but he reved it and the boost guage jumped so it is making boost, I don't hear any rod knock or anything so what could possibly be wrong? You can get the Airbags on eBay all day for under 1k for both, the SC itself is worth quite a bit... is there any frame damage?? It dosent appear to have any, hell the motor is worth 5K! I say buy it from the dumb *** if it doesent have frame damage!

Well heres the deal Ive seen the car and ive even driven it. Yes after it was wrecked and before. The frame is not bent. Damage includes front nose clip passenger headlight,fender, door, quarterpanel, front windshield and the deployed airbags. other than that the car is great. Oh and by the way if it wasnt obvious enough he didnt hit something somthing hit him, a trailblazer in fact. The impact was under 10mph though. The car has over 5.5k invested as well as a quiet engine smooth tranny tight rearend and minimal damage. I dont see how anyone on earth could be so quick to turn down such a deal. The car could be easily fixed for under $3000. Seriously every other GT is that color. You could just buy those parts on Ebay and never have to worry about body work other than the quarter. And as far as the airbags, ****em I dont want the damn thing anyways Im just flippin the car, somebody else can worry about that. Ive got my car just looking to make a little profit out of my garage on the side to do some necessary repairs to mine. Oh well keep the input coming these forums are great, Ive gotten more help on here than anywhere else.

Oh by the way the reason it sounded like that is because it had a major vacuum leak due to a busted sensor mounted behind the passenger fender but that has been taken care of.

I dont really see how it is obvious something hit him as opposed to him hitting something.... a wreck is a wreck... that could very well be the damage done hitting a guard rail, but whatever. No doubt it could be fixed for 3k to the bargain shopper, but not everyone has the knowledge for that! I dont know why you wouldnt replace the air bags though.... they will cost just a little bit more than the covers will (off eBay), and they are not hard to replace! You could very possibly get around it with just the bags and the module on the floor, you will know if you replace those 3 items and your air bag light goes off or continues to blink. A stang without air bags is ALOT less desireable than one with airbags! I bought my bags and moduleon eBay for just over $500.00, and that was a Cobra bag for the drivers side! Which would be of interest to the Mustang in that vid as like mine it is a Cobra clone! Just out of curiosity why is this not being fixed by the insurance company?
