HELP ! IS THIS A DECENT MODEL ?!

Welcome, judging just from the 3 pictures you posted it is a gt. I can't tell what year or if it's a base model or a premium model or if it's a manual or auto. Also it looks like someone just put on a body kit and wheels on it so it's not a special/ Shelby.

That appears to be a UK number plate........are you and the car in the UK? (I am!)

It looks just like a stock GT with a bodykit/hood/wheels added to it. Certainly the air filter on the cold air intake (CAI) has seen better days.

If you can provide a link to the car, we should be able to tell you more.

All I'm going to say is that the engine compartment is brutal! Filthy! What does that tell you about the maintenance and care of the entire car?? The red flags are flying if you are thinking about purchasing it. Be careful!

Agreed. But the wheels alone would be enough to turn me off.

Looks like that filter has been drenched i had the same intake and removed it for that reason with my ram air hood. If the filter looks that bad chances are the motor is the same inside id be very leery of purchasing that.

It's a regular GT with a body kit.. The Ram Air hood appears to be one from Fang performance which went out of business several years ago..

As for that filthy engine bay is concerned ? It's more than obvious the current owner has neglected this Mustang and really doesn't care about keeping it properly maintained..

With that being said, I totally agree with the other posts and would stay away as far as you possibly can from purchasing this car, as your only looking for nothing but trouble..

The only way I'd even consider purchasing this car, is if whomever is selling it agrees to let you take it to a shop and thoroughly check everything over from top to bottom with a fine tooth comb !

Sometimes I wish the OP's in these type threads would get back with us and post again to let us know what happened.

Totally agree 100%.. Therefore if you can take the time to seek advice/feedback ? Then at least have enough consideration to follow up with those who are taking time to offer their advice in return..

If you google his user name you will find lots of places where the OP left one post and then never returned. Weird ... Right?

Just another fine example of how some people are just so insensitive and inconsiderate!
