Interesting to see how that right airbag employs without printing a full IUP panel in your passengers face

What the...was he thinking buying that. It is beyond totaled. You might be able to part out the seats, radio and shift ****, then what. Crap how fast were they moving. It makes me want to cry.

Actually hold on a second, the IUP is almost completely there so maybe someone can buy that and go ahead and purchase a GT without IUP so they dont have to wait and then swap it out, and just wait for the billet dash over the passenger airbag to come out in the parts department of their local dealership, this is a goldmine what was I thinking, I just want to know if it has the My Color Package.

Imagine coming home and saying "Honey! I bought a new Mustang!"

Wife comes running out to see it...."What IS that?"

"It's the new Mustang! I'm going to sell it for parts!" exclaims hubby.

"Get that HEAP out of my yard...not in parts, the whole thing, right NOW!" says wife.

I'm sure the conversation went something like that....lol

it'll never cost that to repair, A guy at work here had almost the same accident (in a new car), cost £3000 ($5500) to repair, add the $15000, you got yourself a bargain (assuming you never want to sell it, cause it's history will eventually come back to bite you!)

You have to love the last line in the eBay listing:

"Car MUST be towed, can not be driven home. "

Ya think?

With the sticker still in the window? Now that is sad.

What's up with the radio? Is that some factory tag or something or is it an after market rig?

I believe the e-bay ad said the frame was bent? I always thought that was the kiss of death.....no?

At least we know the 2005 holds up good with the front inpact. Too bad it's a GT and too bad it had IUP.

WTF? Cassette player?
That story is the stuff urban legends are made of.
Also isn't that an SSR under the cover to the left?

April, that is a lightning parked next to it.

anyone that pays what this guy is asking is a stinker, that car is probably a complete write-off.

Its sad to note this, it appears to have the dealer sticker in the window, maybe has a few miles on it.
