It was purchased new by the first owner in Houston, Texas. According to Carfax, there have been 3 owners since new, and all of them have been from Texas. Since it has always been from here, there is no rust or corrosion anywhere at all. I just purchased this car from the third owner. He was a really nice middle-aged guy who was recommended to me by one of my old customers. He had owned the car for several years, but hes going through a divorce and didnt want the car to go to his wife. He bought the car in June of 2003 from Stallion Auto Sales in Arlington. He had it financed through State Farm Bank and paid off the loan in May of 2006. It was only a weekend car for him - which is apparently just as its been for the previous owners since the mileage is so low. - WHAT DOES THE CAR NEED?I just had my mechanic shop go over this car very thoroughly to make sure its ready to drive anywhere, and they also took care of some preventative maintenance while they had it. They changed the oil (Mobil 1 Full Synthetic), changed the transmission fluid, replaced the rear differential pinion seal, did a 4-wheel computer alignment, balanced all 4 tires, replaced both catalytic converters, and replaced the drivers door hinge bushings. Additionally, I also had my upholstery shop install a BRAND NEW TOP. The original top was just beginning to show some wear at the crossbows. Everything works great and the car is ready to drive anywhere. - HOW IS THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE CAR?This car is quite clean and looks great, but its not a show car. It has been repainted at some point (due to the factory clear coat peeling, so I was told), and they did a fairly good job. This is certainly not anything Maaco could replicate - the finish is excellent and the color is spot on. The only hints of the repaint I can find are a few very small spots of overspray on a couple pieces of trim and weatherstrip, and this is only noticeable upon very close inspection. There are a few tiny door dings from normal use. The front bumper (mainly on the lower half) has had several tiny rock chips (and chips in the fiberglass) touched up, and the rear bumper has a small horizontal crack in the paint. The tires have a few thousand miles of life left (maybe a little more than that for the rears). Inside, the seats have all been redone in 2-tone black/red pleather. They did a decent job and it looks good. A few of the interior trim pieces have been painted red, and unfortunately they painted over one of the original Saleen authenticity plates that sits behind the shifter. There are no stains, tears, or cracks in any upholstery or panels. The interior shows quite well for its age. All power accessories, electronics, etc. work perfectly. The engine runs excellent - tons of smooth torque. It idles smoothly and does not smoke. There are no leaks. The engine doesnt make any ticking noises or anything else that it shouldnt. The true dual exhaust sounds phenomenal (and its not too loud). There have been a few accessories added to the engine: Fluidyne aluminum radiator, Mac cold air intake, full MSD ignition (distributor, coils, spark plug wires, etc.), an Optima dry cell battery, and a full Flowmaster exhaust system with an H-pipe to further reduce backpressure. There may be more, but this is all I can see. Of course, there are also the standard Saleen drivetrain modifications such as underdrive pulleys, a strut tower brace, special springs, shocks, huge swaybars, etc. Most of the Saleen Mustangs Ive seen also had a supercharger, but this one doesnt. Apparently the Saleen package was first a foremost an appearance and handling package, and the supercharger was a bit extra money, so not everyone opted for it. *SALEEN PACKAGE *ONLY 96K ORIGINAL MILES *4.6L V8 ENGINE WITH 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION *BRIGHT RED EXTERIOR WITH 2-TONE RED/BLACK PLEATHER INTERIOR *POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP *POWER WINDOWS *POWER DOOR LOCKS *POWER MIRRORS *TILT STEERING *CRUISE CONTROL *DUAL FRONT AIRBAGS *AM/FM STEREO WITH CD AND CASSETTE PLAYERS *TINTED WINDOWS *ALLOY WHEELS WITH SUMITOMO TIRES (APPROXIMATELY 35% TREAD LIFE REMAINING) EXTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *100% RUST FREE (TEXAS CAR SINCE NEW - NO RUST OR CORROSION) *PAINT SHINES EXCELLENT INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT *VERY CLEAN *NO TEARS, NO STAINS, NO BURN MARKS, AND NO SMELLS *COLD A/C & HOT HEAT RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT *ENGINE IS VERY STRONG *VERY TIGHT SUSPENSION AND STEERING *CARFAX CERTIFIED AND AUTOCHECK ASSURED TEXAS CAR WITH A PERFECTLY CLEAN TITLE AND HISTORY REPORT (ACTUAL MILEAGE; NO ACCIDENTS, THEFTS, FLOODS, ETC.)

Our History: Short Motor Company was founded by my Dad, Leo Short, in 1990 after he was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 9 years. He was guided in starting his business by his uncle, John Short, who owned several new and used car dealerships throughout Texas over the course of more than 30 years in the business. I started working for my Dad at age 16, finished high school, and began my college career toward my Associates Degree in Automotive Marketing and Management from Northwood University in Cedar Hill, TX. I married my wonderful wife Rachel in 2007 and we welcomed a baby boy to our family in February 2011. My Dad and I continue to work together: he sells vehicles strictly from his storefront just as he has done since 1990, while I have chosen to cater to the online community. When I was 12 years old, my Grandpa gave me a 1965 Mustang Fastback that had been sitting in a field since the 1970s. It was my dream car, but once I started looking to buy parts for it and realized that wasnt going to happen with my [non-existent] budget, I sold it for $1,300. By the time I graduated High School at age 17, I had bought and sold over 30 cars. For my High School yearbook, they made up a new "Most Likely To Be..." category for me - I was "Most Likely To Become President Of Ford Motor Company". When I joined eBay in 1999 I was buying and selling rare Hot Wheels toy cars. Now since 2006 Ive been selling pre-owned cars and trucks full-time on eBay. Since day one, Ive maintained 100% positive feedback. My Philosophy: To provide quality pre-owned vehicles with outstanding value and superior customer service. I realize that my customers have a lot of choices when purchasing a vehicle and my goal is to cater to you personally by providing a perfectly painless purchasing experience. I treat you with the same respect, honesty, and integrity that I would expect to receive. All of my vehicles are hand-picked, thoroughly inspected and fully serviced, and then inspected cosmetically and test driven by me before theyre ever offered for sale. Mechanic work is done by Downtown Garage (110 Carroll Street). Detailing is done by Classic Auto Detail (2713 West 5th Street; Voted the Best Detail Shop in Fort Worth by readers of the Fort Worth Weekly magazine). Both of these shops have been in operation for over 20 years. If you have a question about anything at all, please dont hesitate to ask - Im readily available through email (bradyshort@gmail.com) or a phone call (817-988-2629). -Brady Short Warranty Short Motor Company is a retail distributor for Secured Capital Management (a division of the Penn Warranty Corporation) and C.A.R.S.

Most of my customers are from out of state, so I take great care to make absolutely certain (to the best of my ability) that the vehicle is in excellent mechanical (and cosmetic) condition. Please understand these are used vehicles, and may have a few very minor imperfections that are not noted. I try very hard to describe each vehicle accurately; however, if you have a question about something not addressed in the description, please give me a call.Sometimes the vehicle may have slightly more miles on it after the auction is over than what it had when the eBay listing started. This will not be a drastic mileage increase (usually only a couple hundred miles at the most), but it does happen on occasion because of test drives and demonstrations during the auction.I want this transaction to be as smooth and pleasant as possible. A happy buyer is a well educated buyer, so if you are in doubt about anything, please ask.
