    Love the s550’s but 350 can’t do lol , just dream stage right now

    You would need to answer a couple of questions for a more informed answer.

    What’s the maximum $’s that you want to spend?

    What’s your goal, a daily driver, a cool weekend cruiser with good performance, or ultimate performance car for street and track?

    What’s you long term for the car that you buy, maintain some decent value or it’s not a concern?

    I don’t switch my stuff up too much , so yes long term keeper , odd track event would be nice . More of a cruiser , reliability is usually what push’s me to changing vehicles. I do like the nostalgia of having a Shelby stang . 35-40 is realistic

    I’d like to be able to drive it across Canada ultimately lol

    A 07-09 would be a bit more in the price range your looking at but I like the 2010 in the link. That 2010 has aftermarket wheels and hood pins, I’d ask about the motor if you have any interest in it.

    The 07-09 can have clutch issues, heavier peddle and the clutch discs are ceramic which doesn’t hold up well for stop and go driving. The 2010 has an improved clutch.

    No matter what the Shelby has an inherent cool factor.

    ^That white one looks nice! If you’re looking, now is the time (obviously), guys get a little crazy with those in the spring.

    Asking price seems reasonable.

    Just a couple of observations.

    As far as I know the seat stripe colour should match the car stripe colour. If you were going to seriously consider the car I’d look into why they don’t match, could be something as simple as the owner changed the stripe colour.

    Hard to be certain from the poor quality picks but the wheels are either aftermarket or recoated PP wheels (stock colour is like a gun metal). So the car is possibly a PP car (performance package). Which gives you 20” rear 19” front staggered wheels, slightly lower suspension, slightly stiffer suspension, 3.73 rear gear, and a gurney flap on the rear spoiler (which it appears to have).

    Under the hood it has the stock pulley on the Supercharger, there are some aluminum caps on the fluids and a aluminum fuse box cover. Could simply just be the owner added some bling. But sometimes these cars are heavily modded and returned to stock to sell. So I’d suggest a trip to a Ford dealer to see if the PCM has the stock tune and also if it has ever been flashed.
