Hey there! My name is Billy aka Hawaiikid-a few of you may recognize the username from other Mustang or Lightning forums over the years, and even though I just turned 30 I figured I might as well stick with the name :cheers: Anyways, looking to get into a GT350 since I just sold my bolt on 2010 GT500 and I have my eyes on this beauty....

http://www.sewell.com/VehicleDetail...T350-Houston-TX/3096424073#vmg-dealer-OTHER-2

Looks like it has some light modding done to it, anyone recognize the vehicle/know the previous owner? Seems like a reasonable deal, especially for the mileage! With my financing I need to purchase through a dealer, and all the semi-local (I am based in Ft Worth, just west of Dallas) seem to be in the high 40s/right at 50.

Thanks for your help, can't wait to join the club!!

Quick search of the chassis and last 5 of the vin in these forums may yield something.

Few notes about the mods: tow hook and oil separators shown in the underhood pic suggests the car may have been tracked. Being a tech package car there are no coolers on the trans and rear diff from the factory. However they may have been added. I would be concerned if the prev owner didn't replace the fluids as suggested by Ford after tracking.

If you don't care the car may have been tracked I'd ask for 3k off the listed price and negotiate from there.

Check whether the oil line recall was done.

Sewell is a respected dealership around here. Kind of a higher end uppity type of dealership. I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will go take a look at it. Just like you, I am not kid but the name stuck.

Yeah we have a bunch of Sewells up here too, I called the next day and they told me it was pending. I was pretty excited about that car! :doh:
