Unveiled in 2022 and with the deliveries starting in the second half of 2023, the paint has barely dried on most new-gen Ford Mustangs. However, some owners have already enjoyed theirs to the extreme, meaning that the second-hand market comprises all sorts of crashed examples.
Yeah, this is the Ford Mustang we're talking about, so it's no surprise that the latest generation has started living up to the wheel-curber nickname. Case in point, we came across multiple new-gen pony cars from the Dearborn company that are in dire need of some TLC.
At the time of writing, this was the only crashed Dark Horse we found on iaai, which is one famous automotive hall of shame, hence why we decided to dedicate an entire story to it. You're looking at a 2024 model with a mere 3,520 miles (5,665 km) under its belt that has numerous damages all around.
As you can imagine, the ad, which we will get to in a few moments, doesn't say anything about how it ended up looking all bruised up. The images accompanying it reveal extensive damage to its front left suspension. The muscle car bears the battle scars with the unknown object(s) on the left front fender and bumpers at both ends, which have granted it a salvage title.
On the plus side, it's said to "run and drive." Well, we seriously doubt that it drives, given that the front wheels don't align anymore. Still, that means that the engine wasn't affected during the accident. It is a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8, in case you forgot, which is good for 500 horsepower (507 ps/373 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque, or 20 hp (20 ps/15 kW) and three lb-ft (4 Nm) more than what you'd get in the lesser GT.
A brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Fastback will set you back a minimum of $59,485, excluding destination and dealer fees. Thus, you know this crashed example is bound to fetch way less than that. If it were in top-notch form, then it would've been valued at a little over $71,500, according to the listing.
You can find it in Atlanta East, GA, should you want to check it out in person before bidding on it in the yet-to-be-assigned online auction, and we'd recommend doing that in the presence of a trusty mechanic who knows their way around Mustangs.
This muscle car is advertised by iaai here, and given that it can be brought back to its original condition without too much hassle, it will likely find a new home. If you were to buy it, how much would you be willing to blow on it? And would you save it or strip it and sell it for parts?
