I had a Roush Mustang a couple of years ago with that same engine (4.6l) and loved every minute of it. Only downside was the tank-filling issue, which was a complete PITA. No idea if they've ever solved the problem.

I judged that car at the 2009 MOCGB show.

It is VERY clean.

Looks fantastic, and in my favourite colour too! Wish I had the money available...

Well everything's sorted. Cash. Insurance, etc. Just need Monday to come around when I have the time to see it/collect it. When I spoke to the seller on the phone I offered a deposit to hold it until Monday for me, but he said it wasn't necessary. Now it's like waiting for Xmas again wink

Well. I got it. It was all everyone on here, and the seller said it was. As near immaculate as dammit. A couple of minor marks on the exterior that you'd barely notice if not pointed out. And an interior that I can't find fault with. Even still smells new. I'm over the moon. If the seller Steve should read this - thanks, it's a great car - and I'll look after it like you did.
Sorry no pics yet, apart from a quick phone pic. Been driving it wink I'll post some in 'Show us your Mustangs' and 'Readers Cars' if I get around to pics tomorrow smile
