PICTURES ADDED>>GREAT STORY ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MY CAR

Hey guys, just figured I would let you guys know about my day today, March 8th of this year I bought the car of my dreams from Ron Hopkins Ford in Elgin Illinois.
Ever since 2002 when my father picked up his 02 torch red gt, black leather, automatic from buss ford, I said damit dad that has to be one of the best looking cars ive ever seen. The looks, the sound, the smell..... ahhhah I was in heaven. So fast forward to January 08. Me and my father have to be the biggest car clean/maintaince freaks there are... whole family gear heads... and we started our quest to find me a torch red gt. we probably looked at over 100 gt's from january to march. March 8 I wake up early, hop online to check out some gts to look at. Low and behold a torch red gt 2002, 22,XXX miles, 5-speed stick, 18" bbs rk style rims. I nearly **** my self!!! to speed the story along we pick up the car for a unheard of prices on 11,095 out the door, sales taxs, licence plates.... the whole deal. The car comes with original window sticker, smells new. So fast forward to last week. I get the idea to send a letter to the previous owner who was the original owner. I give him my number and today he gives me a call. What a crazy world this is. This guy bought this car drove it on weekends... covered it up during the week, no rain, no snow. He traded it in on a new vette. I have waxed the **** out of this car, took the seats out and shampooed the carpet, cleaned the undercarrage extensivly. Basically this is the second cleanest gt Ive ever seen, My fathers being the first with only 349 miles yeah..... hes crazy. Anyways the guy turns out to be a great gear head. Hes going to come check out the car sometime.. Gear heads are my kind of people.....

Just thought I would share my Hunt for my dream car....

Congrats man. I was like you looking for a good used GT and a specific color. It also had to be Mineral Grey. I found my car here in KC and it has everything I wanted. I also got a good deal on it when I bought it four yrs ago. Take a look at my sig. That phrase I made up is exactly how I feel. Pearl02.

Man . I laughed my ass off when i read that.
It sucks that there are that shady of people out there. I think of the original poster on cloud 9 (with a mental disorder for car cleaning.. it's true newedgestang02, put down the clay bar and get help) and then i think of you finding out your car was welded together for the first time. The worlds an f-up place.

fasthippo · Oct 28, 2008

is that overspray on the underbody? usually that indicates that it was in an accident or repainted for some other reason...

fasthippo · Oct 28, 2008

your car looks awesome and is incredibly clean. but judging by those pics, it was definitely repainted.

02nightmaregt · Oct 28, 2008

I'm the same way. Everytime i had to leave it for a deployment, i constantly looked at pics of it.

stevek72 · Oct 28, 2008

did you see the carfax report from the dealership? if not i can run one for you. that way you will know for sure if it has been resprayed

newedgestang02 · Oct 29, 2008

Hey guys, the car has never been in an accident. My father has an o2 gt with 349 miles on it, bought it brand new, and it looks identical to mine. Also, I frequently speak with the original owner of the car, he bought it new, no accidents, the carfax says 2 owners, but thats when he paid the car off and it went into his name from being in the banks name. Thanks for the offer to run the carfax, I ran one before I went to look at the car, came out spotless.I also ran the oasis report from ford , came out clean. I really appreciate the offer. But I know for a fact this car has never been in an accident. You need to see this car in person to really get an idea of how clean it is. I wish I had a bad ass camera like some of you guys do. If anyone is in the chicago area, pm me , maybe we could set up a badass photoshoot for this up coming spring.

Thanks for all the compliments and concerns.

:SNSign:

You guys rock!

newedgestang02 · Oct 29, 2008

fasthippo, that isnt over spray. If you look at any red mustang underneath, thats what it will look like. Ford does a quick spray of the undercarrige to seal it. thanks for the concern.
