Only owned for 3 days......I would be getting out of that deal.

Was this after Bill tuned it or you didn't get a chance for him to tune it ? Bill would not allow the car to leave unless tuned properly and safely ......if he did tune it the tune would be spot on that you can be assured

damn. this sounds very unfortunate OP. I hope you can get your money back. buying from a dealer is absolutely in your favor i would think. i wouldnt think twice, act under the lemon law, get your money back, and look for a near stock shelby.
My car was heavily modified and it was repaired under the lemon law. NY state covers the car for a different amount of days depending on mileage. OP make sure you beat the dealer up they have no outs it is covered and must be repaired correctly
So I am correct right? They MUST fix it and with no cost to me at all, correct? Also, does anyone think I am entitled a loaner since they will most likely have the car for a few weeks?
I don't know too much about lemon law but is there any clever verbiage in there that a dealership could use as a loophole to get out of any liability? Eg, lemon laws do not apply to cars with aftermarket components. Like I said, I don't know the answer. Just bringing this up as a discussion point. It wouldn't shock me if dealerships had already lobbied years ago to try and limit the scope of their liability.
If ford is going to repair or replace the short block I would contact them and see if they would work with you and get the ford racing short block that's good up to 900/1000 rwhp. I agree with whomever said the owner probably knew things were going south and dumped it while he could. That blower is def capable of making more power than the stock block can handle. Good Luck, I hate stealerships
The more I read it does seem possible the guy was having problems who traded it in. Why else would he give all those mods away when the dealer would give nothing for them. Sounds like you want to keep the car and have it repaired. For me I would want my money back and find something else. Once a car starts to have problems it can be like a snow ball effect.
Exactly what I'm thinking. Who trades in a built Shelby? Likely someone who already knows it's on its last legs and just wants to be done with it.
OP, are you sure the VW dealership took it as a trade-in, and didn't just pick it up from auction like most other dealerships? Hopefully you don't get stuck with a jacked up vehicle at your own expense.
