used car of the day 2016 ford mustang shelby gt350

We continue our Ford Friday -- it wasn't planned that way, I swear -- with this good-looking 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.

We'll disclose right up front that the seller mentions the car has a rebuilt title due to left-front-end damage from when it had 13,000 miles -- it now has 21,000.

This car is for sale in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood. Only about 30 minutes, maybe less at the right time of day, from where I sit right now. If I had a bigger bank account I might be scooping this thing up -- damage be damned.

The car has the Track package. For what it's worth, the seller does appear to be a dealer, so keep that in mind.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Slower than a Civic around the Nürburgring.
"If I had a bigger bank account I might be scooping this thing up" Tim, when is the last time you actually owned a vehicle? What are the actual odds of you purchasing one? You keep saying things like this, but it makes no sense.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to do some shopping, in case my bank account gets really big really quickly.

  Is it? The GT350R does it at 7:32, yes it's the R with carbon wheels, but there is no official time for the regular GT350. The new Civic Type-R did it at 7:44, which is clearly slower but still impressive, faster than a Gallardo and a few other fast cars.
  Though we later find out the Civic's time is based on a not yet released "S" variant that will only be sold in left hand drive European countries, not the UK or North America.

Plaincraig 1975 Mercury Cougar with the 460 four barrel. My dad bought it new and removed all the pollution control stuff and did a lot of upgrades to the engine (450hp). I got to use it from 1986 to 1991 when I got my Eclipse GSX. The payments and insurance for a 3000GT were going to be too much. No tickets no accidents so far in my many years and miles.My sister learned on a 76 LTD with the 350 two barrel then a Ford Escort but she has tickets (speeding but she has contacts so they get dismissed or fine and no points) and accidents (none her fault)
Namesakeone If I were the parent of a teenage daughter, I would want her in an H1 Hummer. It would be big enough to protect her in a crash, too big for her to afford the fuel (and thus keep her home), big enough to intimidate her in a parallel-parking situation (and thus keep her home), and the transmission tunnel would prevent backseat sex.If I were the parent of a teenage son, I would want him to have, for his first wheeled transportation...a ride-on lawnmower. For obvious reasons.
ToolGuy If I were a teen under the tutelage of one of the B&B, I think it would make perfect sense to jump straight into one of those "forever cars"... see then I could drive it forever and not have to worry about ever replacing it. This plan seems flawless, doesn't it?
Rover Sig A short cab pickup truck, F150 or C/K-1500 or Ram, preferably a 6 cyl. These have no room for more than one or two passengers (USAA stats show biggest factor in teenage accidents is a vehicle full of kids) and no back seat (common sense tells you what back seats are used for). In a full-size pickup truck, the inevitable teenage accident is more survivable. Second choice would be an old full-size car, but these have all but disappeared from the used car lots. The "cute small car" is a death trap.
W Conrad Sure every technology has some environmental impact, but those stuck in fossil fuel land are just not seeing the future of EV's makes sense. Rather than making EV's even better, these automakers are sticking with what they know. It will mean their end.
