I'm considering buying this '00 GT. My neighbor says it looks like the fenders don't fit well and one of the hood hinges looks like it was banged on with a hammer. I don't see it, but, whatever. Need opinions. I know about the cracked cover over the radiator.

Thanks.

 

Wheres the supercharger.

 

compared with pics of my '03 GT, the fender/body stuff looks the same. Can't find bolts missing and stuff. The only thing that stood out to me was in the upper right. Looks like that hood bolt was removed.

prop rod looks like the hood weighs a ton

 

Where's the A/C compressor? Down below?

 

Yeah you almost have to get underneath the car to even see the A/C compressor. I'm willing to bet if the fenders don't line up right, and it looks like one of the nuts was replaced on the hood hinge, and the fact that the core cover is cracked, that it was in a front-end accident. Pull a Carfax report.

 

hmmm...is that bird poop on the back left hoses? If so, how would bird poop get on there if the hood was always attached?

 

Story about the core cover cracked is that someone backed into the front in a truck with a trailer hitch. They replaced the front bumper (was cobra, returned to stock), header panel, headlights, grill (except for chrome pony). The hood is a cobra hood, so maybe they lost the bolt when doing the swap.

Still gonna do a carfax. Thanks.

 

its got a replacement upper intake plenum already, but that looks like the stock t/b (not a problem at all though, they are cheap).

What else is done to the car? Those look like stock pullys but i could be wrong.

 

Yes, stock pulleys. Supposed to be a bigger (75mm I think) tb. Chipped (Diablo, I think). H-pipes, Loud mouth whatever thingy (don't be too intimidated by my superior knowledge of Mustang mods ), lowered 2".

Just ran the CarFax. Everything checks out good.

I'm going to pick it up on Tuesday. YES!!! Well, it's supposed to be for my son, but hey, I outrank him. Besides, for obvious safety reasons the car needs a thorough road testing.
