Well not originally supercharged. Did he add one?

Only factory supercharged 3.8 is the T-Bird Super Coupe.

Is it really supercharged or did the owner just slap a "Supercharged" badge on the back of it?
The only V6 Mustang I know of that came supercharged from the factory is the 1994 Saleen V6 Sport. They only made 29 of those though and even fewer of those 29 had superchargers.

The Saleen is a 3.8L.
I looked into them a little more and there are only 2 that were supercharged of the 29.

What year was the car? They only made the V6 Sport in 1994.

That sounds about right.
Don't judge a car by its badges, pop open the hood!

I would look for a better buy... These engines do last but at 150k the mileage takes a lot of life away if you want to add any mods. You can find other years of that model for that price range with 30-50k less on the odometer if you look. If you could swing it look for a 99-04, more power and a better breathing engine.

ummm 2500 is a bit too much for a 97 with 150k

1500-2k would be a good price range

Always go for the V8, you'll be glad you did
