The previous owner prolly installed all that stuff, and is the badge on the trunk where the Ford badge usually is? cause a lot of people will replace the ford badge with the Steeda badge after they install Steeda parts.

Theres a steeda badge where the ford emblem should be and also a 302 badge on the other side, also there are steeda graphics on both sides on the bottom of the doors. The previous owner said everything was stock except for the flowmasters and rims he put on it, it also has an 01 motor. I have never seen another car like it and i think it looks bad ***, but i just want to know where the hell it came from.

Sounds like someone got badge happy man... your car should have the 4.6 (281) in it, unless someone dropped a 302. If its an 01 motor from another stang, then it should still be a 4.6.

THe badges are wrong man. The 302 badge is for a 5.0 or 95 and earlier. The 4.6 engine or 281 was made for the 96 and the 01 mustangs. Just like said above, I think the guy got badge happy.

The previous owner must not have known much to put 5.0 badges on the car.

Never mind.... Your car has a lost identity, don't buy it. If you did buy it. Go to the ford website and type in the VIN and you'll see exactly wtf it came from

Well i didnt buy it because it had a few badges on it, i bought it because i got a good deal on a bad *** 96 gt with a 01 motor that only had 21,000 miles on it. since ive gotten it ive taken off the 302 badge and removed the steeda badges on the doors and painted it. its true that noone knows what the hell kind of mustang im driving, but the fact is im still eating imports for breakfast.
