I watched it on ebay at least 4 times.. It looks like the owner tries to bid it up at the end and then the car meets the reserve and sells but it all of the sudden comes back up for sale again.....

Pretty cool, but pretty steep as well. He said the least he'd take is 38 lol

If the car has 5.5 miles, that means it has not been driven - maybe even hasn't been cranked and run for a long time.

I'm wondering what condition the gaskets and seals are in? Also, there are a lot of rotating parts that need to rotate intermittently; isn't there a downside to having the engine, transmission, and rear end immobilized for 8 years.

I'm sure there is a master mechanic or mechanical brainiac that can tell us, "Why is it bad to let a car set for 8 years without running?"

And secondly, "What will the new owner have to do to get the car mobilized; what needs to be changed or disassembled and evaluated?"

Maybe I'm wrong; maybe you can just fire it up and drive it down to the McDonald's without any problems.

I think whoever buys it should know if they are going to have to spend some money to get it street worthy.

I agree with the above poster. I don't have any definitive information on it, but it sure doesn't seem good for all the fluids, parts, etc. to just sit for that long. Seems like things could be gummed up after all that sitting. But I don't really know.

It seems logical that there would be some problems; I hope someone who knows the answer to this will post. I wouldn't buy the car if I had the money if I didn't know the answer to these questions.

I would think that if you had 40k invested in a car to sit like that you would take appropriate car of the car such as firing it up every other week and changing fluids.

But, who knows.

I don't even know why anyone would buy it when you could by this V6 for $55,000.00 lol :rockon:

I don't know who wouldn't buy that for $55,000.. :lol1:

He said it even has a procharger, please correct me if i'm wrong but I don't even see the procharger. Unless on a v6 its mounted different.:??:

 

[HoosierDave]

That seems worth 55K. It has a 9-way strobelight, so its worth it. Yeah.

what!!!!! no stickers to make it faster, that "ricestang" price makes the 39k cobra price more appealing.

 

[SVT03Chris]

I don't understand. It says the car has an Autoscore check of 87? Shouldn't it be damn near 100? It gets me every time....

I never understood that score. Any help, please/

 

[Tom's_03SVT]

Wow...I need to sell a kidney.

 

[FordSVT2010]

I want a cobra...
