i would do a carfax but i dont know how informative it is and all i really want to know if my original paint color and if its a true 35th anniv edition becuase its been heavily appreace modded.

if anyone can tell me if i give em the vin or if anyone has unlimited carfax reports and could email me the report of my car that'd be great

thanks for any help,
PJ

If the door stickers have been removed, I would be willing to bet it has been wrecked before. I would pull a car fax on it.

yes, i'm beginning to believe so myself, yesterday when i was washing i got down real low and relized that on the bottom of the rear bumper theres a paint run, pretty noticeable if you on its level.

yeah i think i will, its ****ing me off though, well tomorrow i'm going to look at a mach 1 red 20k miles and change 5 speed 17,800$ sounds good but i'll see how it looks....even if it has been wrecked before thats ok, becuase apparently the 99 has been too, my cobra was also hit lightly but was well repaired so other than price, if you ask me it doesnt matter too much if the been clanked, as long as the aint be hit hard
