[FACTORY TRIM DETAILS]
Wheels are 17 x 8 in chrome/polish. Tires are OEM size.

S-197 (5th gen Mustang) seats have ben installed on existing GT Premium seat rails: all 6-way powered seat controls work. The switch is flipped upside down to fit the S-197 seats.
[INCLUDED WITH SALE]

- Original seats;
- Color matched trunk lid without spoiler and without black paint.
- Cans of color-correct paint (code D3 - called both Torch Red and Colorado Red) in spray and non-spray cans.
A prior owner had chambered style flowmaster mufflers installed. I swapped them for straight-through magnaflows.
A prior owner painted the trunk between the tail lights black.
[SELLER IMPRESSIONS]
Car runs and sounds great. Runs to rev limiter smoothly and gears shift as they should. The Tremec TR 3650, sometimes, is a little slugglish from 2nd to 3rd but that's not because of the car's condition.
The Ford Motorsport coil springs are a progressive set and absorb bumps better than stock. About 1 and 1/8" lower in front; 3/4" lower in back. It has a small but appreciable raked stance.
The car is not tuned but definitely breathes better. Intake and exhaust sounds *great*; car burbles while revs fall naturally.
I'm 6'1" and feel a little too tall for the car at times. The S197 seats help.
The car looks and sounds great. You will not win drag races, but I always had a smile on my face with the noises it made. Car quiets down when below 3k rpm if you just need to run errands/be quiet.
[EXISTING FAULTS]
The front cigarette lighter/12 v outlet does not work.
The check engine light stems from a code the car throws because the exhaust is cat-less. I can plug in the ODB reader to show you.
The Air Conditioning needs a charge.
A prior owner was a smoker: the car does not smell like smoke but the headliner has a few smoke marks.
After my purchase, I removed the tint installed on the windows. There is some glue residue leftover on the very bottom part of the rear window.
The car is missing it's floormats.
Headlights are from '99/'00 car (chrome housing) and should be from an '01-'04 car (black housing).
The hood cowl (where the windshield wipers sit) is cracked and should be replaced.
