    Hi everyone,
    I just joined this forum and never purchased a Shelby beore.
    I'm looking at purchasing a used CSX 7000 series, it's about 2 years and has less than 1,000 miles. What should I look for as far as problems or issues? The car is equipped with 302 CI Ford Racing Performance crate engine, roller cam, aluminium heads and weber 44IDF carburators on a blue thunder manifold.
    Let me know, thanks, Maxom

    That's a pretty car...finished out well.
    ...not crazy about the side pipes, if it still has that large angular exit.

    Car started on the East Coast... biggest issue that I hear with CSX7000 cars is how the springs are set (ride-height) and how the car is aligned. Many 7000 cars have been thru Tom's Motorsports in LV to finish out the suspension.

    That car does sit nice, looking at the profile.
