Ok final update. New windshield was installed today and then I trailered it to the DOT where it passed both DOT and state inspection today. Took all the documents for the car to get a rebuilt title to the county office. Was in and out within 5 minutes. Car is officially retitled, is now...
Alright so come to find out that the exhaust cable that says DD replaces the cable labeled CD. Getting the old cable off is a pain, if anyone needs to do this, the trick is to pull and hold the red tab then pull the cable. It will feel like you didn’t move the red tab at all but that’s how it...
ok so need a little sanity check here. I ordered a replacement cable for the one that was cut (pic above that has the green letters DC). This is the part I ordered

The picture on the site matches mine however the one I got...
So those with the PS4, it doesnt come in the aspect size of 35 like the tires on the car now, just 30. Does the 30 increase the gap between the tire and fender?
Some more positive news. This week I received the door VIN sticker and tire sticker as well. Also I will be receiving a replacement windshield VIN plate from Ford. I can’t exactly say how they ended up agreeing to make a new one but it involved several insurance companies, two police agencies...
So I’m making some progress on getting a replacement VIN sticker for the door. Called Ford and they basically said the same as the chassis plate that they don’t do that. After some searching I found that the company ECS VIN is an authorized place to replace the door jam stickers but normally...
Cleaned her up yesterday and I definitely like the lightning blue more once it’s waxed. However as I cleaned her up, I found more damage that was done. When I was trying to fix up the rear splash guard I saw that this wire cut near the exhaust. I was able to get a picture of the part numbers but...
I really appreciate it but It's impossible for me to ask you to do that. I really respect that you would, but I don't want to put your friend in a uncomfortable position. Will it bother me? Yeah its going to drive my OCD nuts because I will know thats not my car but I certainly can live...
Well I called this afternoon and spoke to Ryan (same guy I spoke to previously when I called asking about a replacement). I explained to him my situation again that I just bought a GT350 that was previously stolen and the thiefs stole the chassis badge. I mentioned that I could send them a...
Update
According to the OASIS report, the Transmission was also replaced at 4,346 miles. I am guessing this would be the reason why I cannot find the etched VIN plate on it.
Here is a summary of the OASIS report
854 Miles - Lever Gear Shifter was replaced
4346 Miles - Transmission was...
According to the OASIS report, the cars engine was replaced at 9,796 miles. The car currently has about 17k on it so a little more than 8k since motor has been replaced.
I didnt get a Carfax but I did do a ClearVin report on it and it did not show any service records which I thought was odd...
I mentioned earlier but after auction fees and shipping, I paid a little less than $29k for it.
Also had a friend who was able to hook up a OBD reader and confirmed the VIN I have is what is showing in the ECU.
Also was able to obtain an OASIS report and it confirmed the engine was replaced in...
Yes ordered the cable for the forscan so I’ll be sure to post the results and also going to the dealer on Saturday to see if they can run an OASIS report
At the auction I bought it from, they had the VIN for it. VIN is still on the auction sticker on the windshield with the claim number from the insurance company. My insurance company verified with the previous company that the car was indeed the one they auctioned off and the VIN matched their...
Thank you! Yeah I don’t see that anywhere on the transmission. Just so odd for someone to go to that length to remove all identifying marks.
I had a call today with the TX DOT and they told me they do NOT place a replacement VIN plate in the windshield, rather it’s placed in the door. So with...
