SicShelby Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I remember taking a ride when I lived in Ohio for another member to get a low down on a 2007 he had under the scope. It's really calming to know that people are willing to do this Shows you how OCD we can be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Bob, Here's what I found out. Car is CSM 08SGT0042 with VIN 1ZVHT82H385100360. Car looks great. No body issues and interior is very nice. Engine compartment and undercarriage are clean. Paint is fantastic except for a small paint chip on the rear wheel well. Strips are slightly faded and have some stains so that will need to be changed. Not sure if it's covered by factory warrantee but Steve says he thinks he can get a new strip set from SA if needed. Hood scoop has a small crease on both sides but it sits very nice on the hood. Being car number 42, the passenger sun visor should be signed by Carroll . Unfortunately the visor is missing. I asked Steve about it and he said they do have visor and it is signed. If I were you I'd ask for some proof, say a picture or two. Miles are real low, only 300. Steve says it's due to the fact the original owner purchased the car (from Kemp Ford in Thousand Oaks) and filed bankruptcy the next day. He hid the car away hoping the lender wouldn't find it. Ford Motor Credit did find it and sold it to Steve. Title is clear and in hand. I would ask Steve to send you a copy so you can see for yourself. It would be a good idea to run a Carfax as well. All in all it's a great car. Fix the strips and get the signed visor back and your in business. On the way home I told my wife Marji "Dang this sucks. I look at a great car for sell and I'm not the one buying it". Here are some pics. See paint chip See stains on strips See small crease on hood scoop. Kinda hard to see.

He has two people from NY that are very interested. One is sight unseen and the other is sending his sister out to see it today. Good luck bud.

MMcGuirk Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 We have great members here & Dan is one of them. No kidding! I met Dan at the 85th Bash, in the autograph line. He had his airbag cover in hand to get signed and I said boy I wish I knew how to take mine out. Without hesitation, Dan volunteered and we were out in my car removing it. He cut his hand and never blinked an eye. This was my first TS event and Dan was part of making it memorable! We do indeed have great members here!
