Is that a gallardo in the background? Expensive car graveyard...

Drivetrain alone if the price was right.

I was talking price wise.

Wow.. sub'd

I was talking price wise.

Ahh... I see. I looked at a few in my area being auctioned and things got a bit ridiculous for wreck GT500s. I bailed from the auction when they exceeded $18k. Wonder what the OP paid.

I bet is was close to that figure but I am not sure.

I do know if you try to buy a new 5.8 longblock from Ford it will cost your around $28K or so...and we have a stronger one for sale for less : )

Wow that is crazy!. 59 miles and it has to start all over.

Sounds like it just got away from him and he had no where to go... sucks.

59 miles


Props for taking on this project by the way...

I saw he posted that he thought the car didn't drive right and others agreeing..thinking to myself, how in the hell can he tell if it drives right in under 59 miles. Such a shame honestly, can't wait for more pics though.

If it wasn't for the price I'd love to get a wrecked 10-13 GT500 and swap the driveline and interior into my 05.

So sad to hear about the wreck but the new build should be something else!!!


Congrats on the find and make sure to keep posting those pics!

 

[Scrape]

Wow interesting story. Subscribing to see how the car turns out.

Noticed the notation on the side "FRAME", what did you do about that?

I believe they put it on a frame pulling machine to get it back into spec.

 

[RetroGT2006]

I look forward to seeing the progress.

In summation..."I lost it!"

At least the trunk still looks good.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]
