Full of fail. The auto body mechanic with 13+ years experience didn't have a clue what he was doing. First off they put the standard Mustang c-pillars on instead of the Mach 1 c pillars. The right front fender and quarter doesn't have the stripe. It doesn't have the Mach 1 grill delete but instead that shitty honeycomb grill. What the hell happened to the Shaker? There's paint on the exhaust tips. Those wheels are terrible and the right rear wheel doesn't match. I'm pretty sure the right front fender isn't ligned up right either.

dear god that car is screwed up real bad. Look at the panel gap between the pass. fender and door. I bet that frame is fubared and thats why the motor sits soo low and the shaker doesn't sit high enough anymore.

I would pay like $5k for it, so I could strip it out and part it.

No it's a true Mach1. The vin is 1fafp42r54f222695

P42 means Mach1

And there's nothing wrong with Autos...

If you look at the picture that shows the rear of the car, you can see quite a significant difference in the gap between the rear bumper and the lights on the driver's side versus the passenger side. It's like the entire rear bumper sits crooked.

The only thing worth parting is the seats.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything though...

They sell cars at Barrett Jackson with salvage titles... mainly pace cars and things of that nature...

I would be scared to buy a car that has had roof damage and fixed by someone that does this type of work. Salvage titles is not the problem, its the shitty work that is done to repair them.
