[QUOTE="saleenftw, post: 11620074, member: 134922"] Sonic Saleen I talked to you earlier that day, and you said you couldnt do anything for me. Well I bought it! Car drove as nice as my 50k mile 02 GT!! Very nice car, and an even nicer owner, what really sold me was the fact I could listen to the car in person, drive it, see everything I was getting and talk to the actual owner. I didnt like the risk involved with buying stuff over ebay, too many bad stories about cars that had water on the pistons or something going wrong. I even worked in that I could have the hood and liner with the deal, should be picking it up this saturday. I still want to enjoy my GT so I have about a year to plan on what should happen with the engine and whether or I should swap it in or rebuild it. In my opinion I think that engine was rebuilt at sometime, it didnt run like a 160k engine or drive like one. My 92k 01 cobra was a high mileage cobra and it drove like it. This car also had the blue stripe on the driver side head, and a motorcraft oil filter which is a good sign. He also replaced the plastic chain tensioners with metal ones when he bought the car. Only problem was a leak in the intercooler. So overall I got the air filter to oil pan engine, complete t56 and driveshaft, irs, tires and rims, complete brake system, radiator, front suspension assembly, all wiring harnesses, ecu/instruments, guages, all hardware, fuel tank with twin ford gt pumps, all evap system, fuel lines, brake lines, ABS unit, and the hood and liner. All for 6500. Short story I bought a terminator minus the body and interior. :dancenana: [/QUOTE]
