I found this ad on American dream car.



1988 Mustang GT - Convertible
ALL ORIGINAL With ONLY 69,143 ORIGINAL MILES On it!
I purchased it in 2000 with 57,000 on it.
I have ONLY driven it 12,000 miles in 10 years!
It has been kept in the garage with a cover over it
(comes with the cover).
It is not just a 350 horsepower but a 430 horsepower engine.
It had 2 heads put on by Summit Racing.
It also has all kinds of special things done to it.
A gas pressure gauge on the line,
195 gears in the back.
It has a Super Chip installed by Summit.
This has been my baby and I have
only driven it on gorgeous days!
The top is original and a little worn, but it is still good.
A bolt snapped in the top frame that brings it up and down,
but I am still able to put it up and down without a problem.
It also revs fast sometimes.
A mechanic has replaced a part twice for it,
but it still starts to rev up sometimes when in idle.
It is a 5 Speed Manual Shift.
It gets on average 20 miles per gallon
which is awesome for a V8 engine!
This car is located in Knoxville, TN USA.
Price: Asking Only $9,200.

I was wondering, since when does Summit install parts? I've only bought parts from them.

Sounds like an awesome car if it has "special" things done to it and "parts replaced twice" right
