Last year, I bought a flogged 2002 GT Mustang as an experiment. Dirt cheap. I liked it, but it was to far gone to fix up. So I've been kicking around the idea of getting another one, the key being that I want one with a supercharger already on it. I think I might have found the car.
Not perfect, but lots of good stuff, and the price is right. 2002 GT, vortech (no intercooler) supercharged. Looks like it was done right. Zero rust, undercarriage looks good, guy said its a summer only car, and I believe him. Metallic paint job is starting to fade, but its even across the car. Everything looks straight. Door gaps are off, but that's not uncommon. I haven't run the VIN yet, but as long as the title isn't tagged, I don't care if it's taken a hit.. It tracks straight.
109k on the engine, no smoke or scary noises. Pulls like a train on the throttle, but has a light stumble off throttle. Could use a tune. Easily broke the wheels loose in 2nd gear, my 'ass dyno' tells me it's making about 350hp. Off road X pipe and Borla Atak 'mufflers'....holy hell, it is obnoxiously loud. Those will need go. Shifts perfectly, clutch feels right.
Interior looks very good in person. I was pleasantly surprised. Highend stereo install that I could care less about, big bass box in the trunk.
By my count, it needs tires, a tune, oil leak on engine fixed (might need an intake manifold), and the exhaust from the cats back changed. Good 10 footer but could use a respray at some point.
He's asking $8500. I was thinking of offering him $6500 in cash and see if he bites. Seems like a lot of barrel full of monkeys fun for not much $. I might even grow a mullet!
