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.

Peter Buying an EV from Toyota is like buying a Bible from Donald Trump. Don’t be surprised if some very important parts are left out.
Sheila I have a 2016 Kia Sorento that just threw a rod out of the engine case. Filed a claim for new engine and was denied…..due to a loop hole that was included in the Class Action Engine Settlement so Hyundai and Kia would be able to deny a large percentage of cars with prematurely failed engines. It’s called the KSDS Improvement Campaign. Ever hear of such a thing? It’s not even a Recall, although they know these engines are very dangerous. As unknowing consumers load themselves and kids in them everyday. Are their any new Class Action Lawsuits that anyone knows of?
Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
Alan Years ago Jack Baruth held a "competition" for a piece from the B&B on the oddest pickup story (or something like that). I think 5 people were awarded the prizes.I never received mine, something about being in Australia. If TTAC is global how do you offer prizes to those overseas or are we omitted on the sly from competing?In the end I lost significant respect for Baruth.
