If I was going to purchase this car what would really bother me is (look at the second pic) and the shock tower brace appears to be raised in the middle is 4 to 6 inches so that tells me the shock towers are pushed together and the whole structure is tweaked.....That is the bad part the rest can be repaired. Just my two cents.

all Boss strut tower braces are bent like that to clear the intake manifold...it's the brace off the 10 or older v8's iirc

"..The main damage is cosmetic ... you can rebuild it and have a boss at a much lower price tag.."

Lmfao!!! The entire body shell is crushed! They must've sustained a closed head injury on the crash if the believe the above to be true.

I tmay not be bent but what I am saying is it appears to be bent more than normal. I know my LS does ot seem to have that much of a bow to it.

The engine, transmission, wiring harness, brakes and various suspension pieces would go real nice in my '05. The exhaust looks salvageable and even the wheels might be ok (well, at least three of them...) I wonder what all that is worth if purchased new from Ford?

This was actually the first Boss 302 i had a chance to buy but i passed on it because i wasn't ready to buy and it didnt have the Recaro seats and car cover, so i just ordered one from the same dealer. Its hard to see those pictures and its crazy to think that car could have potentially been mine.
