Full Disclosure:
The car was involved in an accident, as seen in the Carfax, when it was struck by a deer at Virginia International Raceway. The passenger side fender, door and quarter panel were replaced by a personal friend with 25 years of body shop experience. It was repaired correctly, with no shortcuts taken. The front bumper and hood were repainted at the same time to remove all rock chips. The exterior is easily a 9 out of 10.

Any under carriage shots?

In the photos, the front looks to have quite a few rock chips, is that so, or is it the photos/just dirt?

I'll have to get some as soon as it stops raining. Damn Florida weather.

There are a couple of rock chips, but not as bad as it looks in the picture. I'll take some more and post them.

Believe me I know! Was just in Florida in Clearwater + hour out all around, rain ruined the whole week I was there! I would see the sun occasionally but there were 4 days straight with 0 sun. I didn't realize I havent seen clouds or the sun until it came out :bash:


Although thanks, PM me when you do so I know to check if you don't mind!

It's difficult to take undercarriage pictures. I uploaded the ones that turned out decent enough to the google site. You can tell that I didn't try to degrease the underside in order to hide any leaks. What you see is what you get, I'm not trying to hide anything.

Bump. Added a few more photos to the Picasa page.

If you don't mind me asking why was the engine rebuilt so early in its life? Thank you.

Lost an oxygen sensor at Sebring and ran the cylinder bank lean. Melted the two rear pistons and lost a valve seat.

It was rebuilt by Lamotta Performance, a well known Mustang shop. Bored it .020 to clean up the cylinder walls and put in new pistons. Replaced all of the gaskets and bearings as well. The heads were gone through as well due to the valve seat.

It's been about 30k miles since the rebuild and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. The motor is solid.

I think you may have your front/rear spring rates swapped around.

what shocks/struts are on the car?

You're right. Thanks!

They're the custom valved Bilstein Sports from Mamimum Motorsports. Purchased January 2011.

Oh wow what a bummer that happened! Great job with the repairs though. Congratulations on the new GT350! I've heard nothing but great reviews on it.
