I am trying to wrap my head around everything wrong with this car as presented. Let's just focus on the wheel situation as pictured...

1. Front wheels are the factory lightweight aluminum. (Good)
2. Back wheels appear to be some sort of drag wheels that DO NOT MATCH. (Unless it's a temporary thing for the track, non-matching wheels are a peev of mine.)
3. Is that a single GT350R wheel in the rear seat area? (I admit, that would be an awesome spare wheel, but, now we are at three different, non-spare, wheels on a single car.)

There are so many other things to discuss, but the wheels stood out as the most... inconsistent... I feel like this should be in it's own thread where we can pick the ways that are wrong with this car rather than nesting it in this value thread. HAHAHA
In the pictures it shows the 2 matching wheels in the back seats 😆

You're killing me. So it's worse to use an engine as intended (and you're asserting that all stock 350s that are for sale have been heavily tracked)...than it is to add FI to achieve 50-75% more HP and TQ than it was ever intended to endure? Very questionable and self-serving logic - there's no way you will convince any reasonable person that this makes sense.
Well said. Even just one hit with heavy boost is concerning to many people. The engine isn't designed for boost.

Agreed as the Voodoo 5.2L FPC engine was designed to perform on a high level as a NA engine.

With a stock compression ratio of 12 to 1 the engine in question obviously had to be modified in order to reduce the compression ratio down to ~9.5 to 1 which is similar to it's bigger brother namely the GT500.

Well, it looks like the order cancellations for the 2022 MY may end up boosting used Mustang HP car prices.

We got two BASE GT350R's live on BaT right now!

23 mile wrapper base. Wow.

Avalanche Gray (1 of 6) plus a base model.... but with an engine replacement. Should be interesting to see how much this goes for.

Would like to note that NEITHER car posting mentions the base model (or radio/AC delete) in the description. In fact the Gray R says it comes with the SYNC touchscreen infotainment system, lmao. When are these guys going to catch up?

Pretty cool stuff and appreciate you sharing this information.

Having said when looking at the 2017 wrapper Base R take a look at picture #58 and tell me if you see anything very strange with that picture? :facepalm:

The AG Base R had its original engine swapped out with a “Gen 2” and door damage that was repaired.

In pic 58, VIN doesn't seem to match up with what is listed above, right?
