first of all, i want you to all know that my heart will alway be with GM and F-bodys in particular, and everytime i lose to one ill take it like a man. however, my current sitiuation has not allowed me to get a car that i want, so, i have crossed over and bought a mustang. i currently own an S-10 pickup, but i want somthing with a little muscle, so i found a 98 mustang GT for a reasonable 3500 bucks at a car lot. it has 86k miles on it. its a decent car, and it has some muscle to get me through college on a very tight budget. as soon as i get out and get done running the everloving **** out of the pony, im gonna dump it and buy me a 4th gen SS Camaro. so dont hate me, but im crossing over for a while. any and all flames are welcome, but ill be back.

 

well for the 3500 bucks, u could be close to dropping a ls1 in that s10 as u can see i own one also....its possible...and its muscle

 

i have thought about that, only 2 problems. the best price i have found for a used LS1 and a 6 spd was around 5k. an automatic, 4k. 2. i cant take my truck off the road as it is my only mode of transportation. i absolutely love the F-bodys and have been looking for a decent one for a while now. and the only things in my price range that i have found have had the **** run out of them. thats why im banking on the mustang to feed my right foot for a while untill i can get around 10K to get me a nice Camaro SS.

 

well, you didn't buy a nissan so we can't hate you THAT much. at least it's an american muscle V8 car, even if it is a slow one better than nothing!

 

3500 for a 98GT wow what a deal!

Congrats

 

hey congrats.its not a f-body but is a ok v8 car and people love mustangs and they sell for a good price( i dont know why)i think there completely over rated .but hey you got a real good shot of selling that gt for more then you paid for it.

 

yea even lt1s are outa that price range, good find.

 

what a POS!...what were you thinking?!?!?


Ok, but seriously....not a bad find and you are definitely using your head in the budget aspect...props to you for that, im kickin myself for insurance...

 

my friend has a 1996 mustang GT and it's a pretty nice car, not the fastest in the world but it has some pretty decent get up and go with gears n full exhaust

 

check the sig, my fbodies gone and i dont miss it one bit

 

That is a good deal, good luck with it.

 

bet you could have found a bad *** 5.0 or a sweet as LT1

 

well the LT1's that i found had the **** run out of them, i could have afforede a 6K LT1 f body but i searched and couldnt find a decent one that had semi low mileage (<100k) that was in good shape. i could have got a five-o but the 4.6 SOHC has much more potential. i thank you all for your support durning this trying time. i always said that i would never own a mustang, but i couldnt pass this deal up. and too 4sconcepts, i plan to drive this car like i ******* hate it. which i do.

 

I got nothing but love for ya!!! just dont get a burner. all american muscle baby

I was pretty sure that it's the other way around...especially with the 2 valve 4.6...I could be wrong though

 

Nice find and welcome to the site

 

thats a pretty good buy on that car, there not all that fast but can be, do the pi head and cam swap from a 99-04 gt and put down more power than they do in stock form. i got a set of stock cams out of my 01 gt i had if your intrested just send me a pm, there just sitting there lol.

 

I would just slap a blower on it and be done. Check out the Corral message board and you will be up to speed in no time. I've had two 5.0 GTs, so no hate from me...

 

huh?.
