Description:
Im on the fence.... I LOVE The car. The car was built with the intention of being a permanent member of my collection as I've loved the body style since it came out.
I bought it two years ago from the previous owner that owned it for 11 years. It was repaired from hitting a deer at some point in his ownership but short of one headlight's lenses being a bit cloudier than the other (will buff out and seal before sale) I cant tell. All underbody plastics are there, everything fits as it should. I have a stack of receipts from the previous owner in a HUGE File that was passed along to me.
It needed cats when I bought it and I bought MBH Long Tubes and the rest is history. I have receipts for most of the work done (some labor was done by me when I had free time and felt adventurous... Im a handy wrench but family and work take up alot of my time.

The car is currently waiting on a replacement Drivers Side door lock actuator. Two shops did not want to deal with "Customer supplied parts" so Im waiting for either free time to install it or a buddy to do it for me since I dont have much free time.
I actually have two spare actuators (one driver and one passenger) that come with the car (future proofing).
I need to sort out leaky windshield wiper nozzels in the bumper and a TPMS light currently but everything else works as it should.
One shop recently told me that the control arms that the front struts mount to need replacing but couldnt get the bolt off that holds the strut to the ball joint. I put the car in the air and i see no noticeable play but I have been soaking the bolts in Kroil to loosen them up.
The car drives amazingly well. Its reliable in traffic and a blast when opened up on the back roads. I just think I'd be happier in a manual transmission car. 2012 Boss 302 would be high on my list. Also considering getting a second gen Ford Lightning to assist with hauling toys for the garage, parts, etc as I dont have a pickup truck currently.
I'd be happy to set up a PPI with a local specialist (unfortunately the shop that couldnt get the control arm bolts off LOL) or the local dealer at the buyers expense.
Will take a driving video and a walk around video this week and upload and/or send to interested parties.
Asking $20K.
I have over $35K in receipts from the past two years. The Carbon Fiber Trim alone was $3k.
I understand that this is a strong ask for a car with ~146K miles but the car is done right with the best parts in the industry by the best guys in the industry. I want to be full transparency so absolutely NO QUESTION IS TOO SMALL. I will answer any question you have with as much detail as you require. PM me for my phone number and we can chat/ face time/ etc.




To be honest, I only ran E85 when we were dyno'ing the car. I dont have e85 local to me. A couple gas stations popped up recently on my way home from work but figured Id wait for spring time to avoid any cold weather gel/issues.




Still available.
