The story of how I obtained the car:
It all started on Whidbey Island in Washington. I went to the local Ford dealer to get a can of lacquer for a 2000 Mustang Conv. that we were doing up as a Mach1 convertible even though their is no such thing. I get their and one of the dealer employee's decied they wanted to move a Ford truck off of a lift. Soon to find out when he backed up he ran into the Passenger Side Quarter Panel off our show car 2003 Mustang Mach1 Mustang with the truck. They came running in the building looking for me and they were in a panic, they didn't know what to do. Well, to make a long story short, they gave me $20,000 trade in on the Mach1 Mustang and $10,000 dollars off anything on the lot. The only car that I wanted on that lot was a 2006 Saleen Mustang #678. That car had been sitting their for mounths before I had even purchased it, it had even once been in the showroom. So in the end I got a Saleen Mustang for about $20,000.
