just bought an LE, what do you think?

I just bought a babied 99 LE, 19k miles, with some very tastefull mods including a brand new Polished Vortech V2 with all the supporting mods to go with. It is very clean, never rained on and still has the original window sticker along with other riginal items. I think I payed on the high side ($12,700) but it was so clean and with only 19k miles I had to pull the trigger. Let me know.

Cool thanks, The original owner is an older guy who really has it tuned for streetability which was most important to him and coincidentaly me too. He added the Walbro fuel pump, 90mm maf, 36lb inj and had tuned on a mustang dyno. it's not inter/aftercooled but he said with the tuning and cp reflash + 180deg t-stat it runs cooler than it did stock which is pretty re-asuring. he also added a polished plenum and throttlebody, there are some other mods like the obvious 18"wheels, springs and shifter but for the most part it's all stock. I cannot wait to pick it up this week. I was thinking of doing a spoiler delete on it when I get it.

Wow, that's awesome man. Really nice find.

Just to be careful, I'd take it to a dyno and check the air/fuel. I'm sure it's fine, but it's ~$60 that could save you thousands if it wasn't tuned properly.

Have fun with the car, hopefully winter sets in a little late.

For the price and with all the extra goodies, I really think you did very well.

If you want me to tell which number your GT is in the total 4,628, send me a pm.
