Not gm this time. Picked up 95 gt. Price and still being old 302 sold me on it, and a t5. Has problems physical and title issues. Hoping to resell in a month or two after sorting the title part out. And maybe clean it up a bit. PO jacked with the gauges and fan controller. And a lot of other things likely. Claimed shifted fine, but a friend reported grind in 5th. Will check later. I only had a chance to drive in a parking lot.

Those cars are a little scarce around these parts anymore. It's crazy how quickly they went away.

Last one I randomly bought and sold was a v6 model and it still got wrapped around a pole within couple of weeks.

Seems like Mustangs have a habit of losing control. Often hitting a pole, a wall, or a crowd of innocent bystanders.

Going to hotrod this one a bit, or just doctor it up for resale?

New body style but last year of 5.0?

Put some of them big ass loud mouth muffs on it so it'll sound really fast and you'll be super kewl.

Otherwise leave it stock so it'll idle smooth.;)

Already has a mild cam, shorties, and loud mufflers. There was even a giant tach on top of the dash, but I removed it last night

Clean it up is the goal. And maybe put ac in. And then there are some title problems

Had a 97 V6 as my first car. I had a lot of fun in it. Wouldnt mind getting my hands on a 94-95 with a 5.0 for a little while. Should be a fun flip, especially if they are appreciating in value like they are around here.

One guy I went to school with had a 96 v6 with 5 speed, I had a 92 base stealth at the time. That was the same v6 that later I bought from him and resold before it got wrapped around a pole. It actually felt pretty decent, especially compared to a base stealth. This one has a bit of a pull due to 3.73 gears, but that is about all. Not even a 6 speed compared to same era f body. Current issues include fan controller, no tune, and a busted gauge cluster, some exhaust leaks, red color poking out under some interior panels, and no ac or radio. Have to just sit on it for about a month before putting any more money in, to make sure the title work comes through. It has an old lien on it from many years ago and no title as usual.

Looks better just after washing dirt off. Needs a lot of touch up. I could noy live with the t handle shifter. Leave those for auto cars. He had a ball included but wrong threads. Lunch break later it is installed.

There are literally dozens of them in the Pick your Part junkyards out here in San Diego. They do not rust out here. I know I am new, but if you need anything let me know. My nephew has a 98 GT that I get parts for all the time.

Vetts have the same problem.
