SVT Shelby GT500
Looking to get into 07-14 GT500 with under 10k -- Easy ways to tell if returned to stock and year?

[QUOTE="Nutty 5.0, post: 15698480, member: 50275"] I've finally gotten myself back into cars after a break and some health issues. I had an 03 Cobra and several 5.0's. In fact, I recently sold a 5.0 that I struggled to drive (clutch mostly) and targeting GT500 specifically a 12 SVTPP. (S197's having hydraulic clutches). I've been searching and not finding any easy ways to tell if a car has had a pulley and put back to stock. Not that I'm opposed to a modified car, but there's not too many under 10k cars on here for sale that are stock. I can tell the obvious signs like added body parts, etc. but not sure how obvious if a pulley was swapped on. On the 03-04 cobras it wasn't too obvious if the plug was put back on and done cleanly. Reasons for wanting a 12 for what I want is: [LIST] [*]Newer front/rear covers and related updates from earlier years [*]SVTPP [*]Recaro's (Preferably) [*]Alum. block (I like the idea of the 10's for iron block but seems like the alum. is holding up ok) Hopefully this is the case? [*]Reduced price over 13-14 by around 10k as I know I will want to modify. The added features of the 13-14 aren't enough with the price difference to make me want one. [/LIST] I'm also somewhat picky on the colors I'd want so it makes it pretty difficult. I'd prefer a stripe delete but I know how rare they are so will likely remove them myself. I'm leaning toward RR, but would be great to have IS, and KB in that order. I know navigation isn't that necessary but I do prefer that and the forementioned Recaros. SVTPP is mandatory and I do all my own work short of body issues. So, with all this said, I'm looking at (ugh) dealers and inventory since they have some that are low mileage. [/QUOTE]
