2002 Mustang Convt. Shelby Gt 500 - Black & Nice! on 2040-cars

 I have never done a carfacts report on this vehichle, but this is what I was told from the previous owner. The car was originally purchased in GA. It was purchased as a mustang GT and the original owner through his own expense had the car sent to  SHELBY INTERNATIONAL  in SOUTHFIELD MICHIGAN  for the  GT 500 package. it spent about the first 7 years in GA and then purchased by an older gentleman in PA. He owned it for about a year and put less than 1000 miles on it and only sold it because it had a performance clutch that was to difficult for his wife to push down to shift. The car was bought for her. I bought it in 2009 with aproximatly 70000k miles. It has been meticulously maintained and kept in the garage under a car cover when not in use. It now has 135000k miles on it,Mainly highway miles because when I bought it, I lived in NJ and spent a year driving back and forth from NJ to SC looking to purchase a new home and retire. It has only seen the rain a handful of times and has never been raced or beat on. It is adult owned with a clear title. AS far as condition, the driver seat has a tear on the  ass part where the metal frame has come to the surface and wore a hole. I'm a big guy so that probably figures into it. Other wise the interior is very decent. I just had the sunvisors professionally redone with leather. the factory used a fabric that the sun quickly wore out. I also must say, the top is rarely up,whats the point of a convt.? The paint is decent with a couple very small nicks here and there. there are no dents and to my knowledge it has never been in an accident.The Experian report in this listing mentions an accident, I assure you I have no knowledge of that and if it happened ,it must have been very minor! It has a 4.6 liter with the cold air intake and I was told some other things have been done to the motor. When I bought the car I was given a Dyno print out of 325 HP to the rear wheels but lost it in the move. once you drive it, you will have no doubt that's true! It is going to need a new clutch soon but it's absolutely driveable. I would get in it and drive to California today ,that's how much confidence I have in this car. along with the back and forth from NJ to SC ,the car has gone to  TN -FLA- NIAGRA FALLS CANADA and a few other places  without ever having any kind of problems. All work snce  I have owned it has been done by a certified mustang guy who teaches automotives here at the SC technical school. Tires have plenty of life left and I just replaced the stereo because the CD player on the factory mach 6 system bit the dust. The top is in good shape also. if someone wants to see a pic with top up just ask. I just didn't want to take off the hard shell. It has the original boot and hard shell cover  and I'll throw in the car cover too. I can't think of anything else at this moment but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Buyer will be required to deposit $500 in my pay pal account upon purchase and I would prefer the rest in cash or certified check, but the car stays here until check completely clears. I've heard stories of fake cahiers checks so please don't take it personally. It's not a must sell for me, I have another supercharged mustang that's my daily driver so keeping it is no big deal. I just don't drive it much anymore ,don't really want to put anymore miles than I have to on it.SO long story short, I'm a regular honest Christian guy who is  not trying to screw anyone. what I say in this ad is what I know. I welcome any  REASONABLE offers. I know there was not a factory GT 500 in 2002 so I really have no idea what this package adds to it's value. I know what I paid and I know what I'd like to get. That's about it!-- oh, buyer is responsible for arranging pick up and all that stuff. I sold a 74 duster a few months ago to a guy in FLa. and it cost him $300 to have it shipped from SC to his front door if that helps.
