    Need Opinions Quick On 2001 Gt 'vert

    It sounds a bit high to me, I just sold my 99 GT (non-vert) to my brother in law for about $4,000 and it has less miles and a number of performance mods (eibach springs, X pipe, catback, sub frames, aftermarket leather seats etc.) Also has a paint defect that will cost few hundred to fix...

    What is a mint '04 Mystic Cobra worth?

    I talked to the owner tonight, he is asking $30,000 fairly firm, car is stock, but has had the paint touched up due to hurricane wind damage in '05, paint was well done at least I did not spot anything. The guy had planned on keeping it as a collector vehicle, but now could use the money, but...

    What is a mint '04 Mystic Cobra worth?

    I just saw a very low mileage(about 4,000) '04 Mystic Cobra for sale on the side of the highway, and will be calling the owner to get more information tonight. So I need an idea of what a fair price is for this car, as you can see by my signature I have a lightly modded '99 GT currently...

    Door open switch doesn't work on driver side

    It is a common problem, the one on my car went flaky a few years ago, sometimes the interior light would go out after a couple of minutes, sometimes it would not. I got tired of having dead batteries when I was ready to go to work in the mornings so I just pulled the fuse. Aparently the...

    Is there a difference between the 99-00 GT Intake Manifold from the 01-04?

    The intake on my '99 GT cracked at 110,000 miles last January, Ford covered it under warranty and replaced it with one with the aluminum crossover. Cost $1.97 Coolant disposal fee, aparently last december Ford settled a class action suit on this issue and extended the warranty coverage to 7...

    Gasoline smell in car

    For a couple of days after the last few times I have filled up my car, I can smell gasoline when I get into the car, sometimes strong enough to need to roll down the windows to vent it out. The smell goes away after the car gets down to about half a tank. Any thoughts on where I should look, I...

    Odd sound while cornering?

    Lately my 99GT has been making some odd clacking sounds when cornering, in particular low speed left turns into parking spaces with the clutch in. The sound is just like the sound a front wheel drive car makes when the CV joints are going out. Does anyone have any suggestion on things to...

    Inertia Switch??

    I know a guy that bought a car for $250 that had been rearended and would not start afterword. Does anyone want to make one guess on what was wrong? In all honesty $250 was a deal, but even running it was probably not worth more than $700

    02 GT Idle speed?

    The Oil pressure guage on the mustang is nonfunctional, it is a simple on/off device and does not read actual pressure. Aparently Ford thought a functioning oil pressure guage would lead to excess service calls as people panicked about a moving needle. So instead we get an idiot light in the...

    no fuel pressure? 99 GT

    I hate to say the obvious, but it could be a defective fuel pump. The symptoms are almost identical to when my fuel pump went out, the only difference was mine did not act up unless the car was driven for at least 100 miles. Ike

    what ford says about 5w20 over 5w30

    I think what some of the people reading this with newer mustangs may not know is that the owners manual for the '99 and 00 models recomended 5w30 and '01+ recomended 5w20. Also as far as I have heard there has been no TSA from Ford changing the 5w30 recomendation for the '99 and '00 models. Ike

    It is the wiring harness for the traction control, on 99GT's (and perhaps others) Ford only had one wiring harness regardless of which features a particular car came equipted with. Ike
