    S197'S Are Obsolete Already, Got Schooled Today!

    I will try and keep this short? So I buy an 07 GT and did notice the paint didn't match great on the fenders to the doors. So a year later I decided to get it repaired and re-painted. The local Ford dealer's body shop educated me today! First the drivers side frame rail got hit hard enough to...

    2007 Parts Schematic

    Hello again trying to get the parts breakdown for basically the front bumper back to the radiator including the sheet metal holding the headlights etc. My car was in a front collision and they did real bad repair, apparently I'm missing some L brackets that go down to the frame around the ends...

    Air Bags or No Airbags?

    Hello all, I bought an 07 GT that apparently had a frontal collision with considerable damage (fenders, headlight sheet metal, bumper etc all replaced). It was not repaired by a reputable shop. I'm sure the air bags deployed but who knows if they were replaced. Nothing had been reported to...

    Update: Paint it or keep it as is?

    Well just got it back after the body shop inspected my 07 GT. It's a mess! The frame ends where the bumper bolts on is bent w/only 1 bolt on the drivers side. They say the vertical sheet metal around the radiator isn't welded to the frame etc. (I need to look at another S197 to see if the metal...

    Hello, so about a year ago I screwed up and bought this (what I thought was gorgeous anyway) red 2007 GT off EBay. It supposedly had a clean car fax with only 50k miles. Well after I got it home I started to go over everything, well didn't take long to determine that it had been in a frontal...

    What engine oil and viscosity are you using?

    My manual calls out 5-20wt syn for the V-8 and I think it was 5-30wt for the V-6. I am an old school guy and don't use any synthetic in anything I own, just dino oil. In my Harley's I only use dino oil and have never had issues just change it regularly. I know these 4.6 engines have small...

    Car Fax's thread continued!

    Sorry, I'll try to keep this one short! So question #1 is: I have to "slam" the hood down when shutting it. I've adjusted the hood bumpers up to raise it to match the fender tops. Is this normal? I've never shut the hood on one of these cars before. I'm apprehensive about having the car...

    Car Fax's not all is cracked up to be!

    So last week I fly to Vegas to pick up my 07 GT I bought off eBay. A 48k mile Torch Red car, original TX owner kept it till 2023 then it changed hands a couple more times. Car Fax shows no damage, but when I saw it the hood's front pass side just touched the fender (by the headlight). An...

    Hello from PNW WA

    Hello all, just bought 1st S197 an 07 GT with 48k in Vegas and drove 1300 miles home in 2 days. Such a gorgeous solid well built car on the hwy. I had no idea how really comfortable they are. Great gas mileage at 80mph, love those high speed limits! Anyway I could ramble on, but won't. (I'm...
