Impressive actually.
Versify it’s safe and common maintenance.
If it made it this far it sounds like an excellent owner.
Congrats.

Congrats and as mentioned get rid of the rice. Amazing how someone can buy one of the best cars ever made and "make it look better" while actually destroying it. FTL

Playing?

Your cylinder walls are a Plasma Transfer Wire Arc iron coating and it’s only 150 microns (0.006-inch) thick… it’s been ran for over 140,000 miles…

I’m no ford engineer but… that’s a lot of miles on a block you can’t just rehone, bore out .030 over and call it a day.

These blocks are EXPENSIVE to replace.

Idk what your plans are for the car but I would consider sleeving the block before you go HAM on any performance modifications and or run it like a raped ape…

To give you SOME peace of mind…

“Besides the GT500 blocks, it's used in gas turbines and Caterpillar remanufacturers its diesel cylinders with it, so it's tough stuff.”

Ohk then, I’ll see to that

He’s referring to the windows louvers, and added stickers, etc. Everyone had different taste. A lot of us are enthusiasts and enjoy the car for what it was when it was produced.

Curious about what he paid for a 140K GT500, but don't expect an answer / none of my business.
I would like to know what is above the front fender snakes ??

That’s a fact, I purchased my 2013 GT500 47k miles SVTPP, Track options, intercooler etc, 1 owner, no glass roof for $42k. This was December 2020 at the start of covid. Car now has 69k miles. Almost 70. According to the banks she’s worth 26k, and my other cobras are worth $11k for my 19k mile coupe. So hard to tell.
