Is it just me or does the red R ruin the entire car?

I don't think anyone 'makes' it, its just a collection of typical mods. The nose is moofed

Thanks Kevin, I thought I had seen it in a show or somewhere, too bad its life was so short.

Why would you laugh? I think they're pretty tastefully done, of course minus the GT-R sticker. They had one at my dealer recently...Alloy and black with the CDC glassback, it was pretty sexy! I don't know what they were asking for it though...

Look at the first pic, the car is in a junkyard, I'm sure it's crashed.

My guess is the exhaust was taken off either by the owner or by someone working at the boneyard that wanted the muffs.

That's what any mustang is over a base V6. A GT, shelby, saleen, roush, steeda, foose, etc, etc, etc are all base V6's with mods. Not to bash any of those drivers, but think about it. all of these cars are a base mustang shell with things done to them that demand more money. Granted, all of my aforementioned mustangs have V8 engines, so that makes them glorified GT's then.

Auto FX in Tacoma did a vista blue Mustang for us with that paint scheme. It's not very popular though, the darn thing is still sitting in our showroom.

That salvage website is pretty cool. I just surfed it a little and found some awesome cars smashed.

There's even a Shelby GT500 on there. Well, what's left of it.

Is that website an auction style, or do you just make offers and the person may or may not accept them?
