Your car is definitely on my list of wants, but is unfortunately a very long list. Looks like its really clean, got any more pics?
Tell us some more about yourself: other/previous cars, work, history...
I had a '88 5.0 5-spd GT back in high school but was rear ended after only owning it for nine months so I hadn't really done anything to it other than a pair of Flowmasters. It was a shame too because the car was a one owner, all original, bone stock car that had never been in any type of collision. It was mint.
After that I went through a 4x4 faze. I had a big '88 F250, and then a really clean '98 Jeep GC Limited. The Jeep was really sweet, it had power everything, nice stereo, V8 power and a smooth ride. I still miss that one. Then for a couple years I didn't have anything fun, just my daily beater. So after saving all that time I wanted to buy a low mileage (under 25K miles) 5.0 LX coupe. The same kind of car the highway patrol used in the '80s and '90s. That search lasted 18 months before I gave up in frustration, after finally realizing it's hard to find a 10 year old 5.0 Mustang that hasn't been beat to death, let alone one with the mileage I was looking for.
So then I started looking into the '03-'04 Cobra's. I found my car down in the Raleigh-Durham area in the summer of '07. I went down and looked at it one weekend, gave the seller a deposit to hold it and came back the next week to pick it up on the 4th of July.
Sorry for the book, but you asked
Like Fords much? :lol:
18 months is an impressively long period of time to be searching for a particular car. You must have some killer patience...
