Looking to sell my 03. Lost interest since my son was born, put 2800ish miles on in last 2 years.

28,6xx miles currently. I'd give the body a very solid 8/10. some scratchs, none past the primer, no dents

Mods (off the top of my head):
2.3 whipple (gen 2 @ 17lbs)
BF SBTB
FR 80lb inj
SCT 2600 MAF
KB BAP
Bassani catted SS midpipe
Borla Stinger CB
MGW short throw
BF IRS brace
JLT RAI
AFCO HE
Fiore Quadrant and Adj.
Steeda Batt. rel. kit
PCV delete

rear tires have around 500 miles (275 mt dr)

car made 582/532, was tuned by lidio @ alternative auto
less than 1200 miles on whipple setup

Parts that come with car:
-New parts
PA Racing tubular k-member
Teksid block, recently machined (bore & hone w/torque plate, threads chased)
Diamond 19cc pistons
ARP main and head studs (12pt)
ARP balancer bolt, connecting rod and flywheel bolts
-Used
Stock eaton (needs some work)
Stock CB
Plus whatever else stock that I kept

Now for the bad(You knew it was coming). Burns oil. approx. 1qt/1500 miles. Needs valves guides and seals. Never ran low.

Plus... recently it was backed into while it was parked. I know, it sucks. Only OEM parts were used. The drivers fender, headlight and panel and front bumper cover are new and repainted.

I've put in a vid to show a startup. This is honestly as bad as it gets. It's usually 70-80% of that if I had to guess. Probably where the valves are positioned when it's not running.

When I bought this I also bought the powertrain warranty from Ford, should be good til April of 2011, if you want to fight w/them. You'd have to put back to stock. They fought me on it so I gave up (it was back to stock before you ask). I think that's about it. Any questions pls ask. I'm as straight forward and honest as possible.

$17,500

Thanks
Bill

How long has the smoke and oil burning been a issue? Any pictures of the damage before it was repaired?

it's been an issue since I bought it in '08 w/17,xxx miles. Before I bought it the dealership said it had been in to get the updated driver side head. It really didn't smoke until I swapped the midpipe and catback. Figure the cats were burning most of the oil.

Sorry no pics of the damage. I actually seen it happen. Guy in a 95 style f150 backed into it at 5ish mph, then fled when I tried to stop him. His bumper hit right where the fender meets the bumper cover. I drove it home after the police report was filled out.
