Default Going Car Shopping this weekend

So guys, check out what I am going to look at today. If we can come up with a fair deal, I will be driving it home tonight. The car has all documentation and 12K original miles. Something kinda strange about this car. It's very high optioned and has LOTS of goodies that appear to be factory installed. Will keep ya posted. Enjoy the pics...

Mitch

Looks clean!

What's up with the motorcycle looking pipes? No other muffler?

They are supertrap mufflers. I ran those on my pro street 240z back in the day.

Those are supertraps. You can change the sound by taking out the plates you see at the tip of the mufflers.Go from nice and loud to quiet with in a matter of minutes.Cool concept but dont look right on that FOX.

@ 1SLO85 About that FOX ,not a bad looking car.I think the cosworth looking spoiler needs to go and the Super traps look funny,dont fit well IMO.

Good Luck with the buy.
keep us updated

I don't trust cars that old with such low mileage. What's the longest it sat without running? Is it wrecked and restored? Is the engine built? What's the dillio? Cars like this have stories. Let's hear the story!

The rear spoiler is svo. Cmon mustang guys... the car is fully documented and all parts are ford dealer installed. Look at of the subtleties. The seats are made by recaro for saleen and the front end is not ft or ox...it too is saleen. The original owner ordered the car with saleen suspension, interior but without badging. It is also car faxed as an ld but it has factory installed 5 lug. Ya see what im seeing? Its kind of an interesting car. I would definitely change exhaust and possibly wheels. I really like the car and am working on finances right now.
