found a GT, need opinions

[DCjuggalo]

that color is bad ass

igood eye on the ebrake boot. i missed that. i'll have em knock off another 250 lol
.

99/00's don't have an E_brake boot.

Only the 2001+ GT's got a boot. the 99/00 cars are naked e-brakes

About the GT. Im not fond of that color scheme, but it is a damn clean car, & that price is pretty decent. If the green doesnt bother you, I say go for it. BTW, MakotoS13, is that your 240 in the sig pic?

yep thats my money pit fully built KA24ET from ported head to windage tray. T3/t04e turbo, 50lb injectors, etc etc. some delays have postponed any actual official timeslips but she'll see 12's if my engine builder was worth anything.

i've been looking around at various cars (GT's and sixers) and they want to sell v6's with similar miles for like 7ish! i'm like, why do that when i'll have to spend 2 grand just to get the car to where i like it. might as well buy one with a V8 if i have a chance for around the same price. it ain't like the mileage or up keep would be more.

does that look more like amazon (tropic) green or electric green to you guys? i think its amazon (which i like better than electric) but im not sure.

[Mustang5L5]

If it does have the plastic crossover, I would have them replace it for free.
It will start to leak anyday. Wasnt that a recall anyway?

 

[Poisoned Pony]

Ah you are right. Those got a TRUE leather interior with full leather seats and a leather rear seat.

Interesting how the pony on the passenger seat is running the wrong way though

not only did they get real leather, but they got black leather instead of charcoal!

plastic crossover?

 

[four six]

plastic crossover?

Front part of Intake that the coolant runs through. It is prone to cracking and WILL need to be replaced in the near future.

 

[Bluffing024]

The coolant crossover is plastic on 96-00 GT's. In 01 they went to an aluminum setup. There was a class action lawsuit about it. You can get it replaced for free 7 years from the warranty start date (the day it was sold) but ONLY if it is leaking.

 

[streethorse]

plastic crossover?

Yeah, the newer ones are easy to tell the difference, they have a silver
crossover (aluminum ) at the front of the intake manifold. Sorry I dont
have a pic.

 

[Bluffing024]

This is the aluminum one..

 

[tradde]

That looks to be the same color as my 2000 GT vert. I like the color, much more
than the brighter "electric" green. I swapped in a set of smoked headlights
and some day will do the grill delete. A different hood would be nice too as
the stock one is so boring. Mine had less the 32k miles when I bought it,
and has leather seats and everything was and is in great condition. Except
of course the new then tires. Something about a KB and tires don't seem to
last long.

 

[AvalancheSVT]

This is the aluminum one..

how much is the part i need to replace?

nevermind i found it. i'll check that out before i buy the car and if its plastic i'll use that to haggle more.sweet. stangnet might be savin me all kinds of money.

i also spotted a silver vert they have with black bullits that im gonna ask em to swap to seal the deal

 

[AvalancheSVT]

complete waste of time. i dont think im ever gonna find a decent GT for what i wanna spend. looks like its V6 town for me

Please dont get a V6 bro... Do u need a Stang that bad that u need to settle for a V6. i mean for under 10k, u could find some REAL NICE Sn95 4.6's or even a 5.0 SN95....I sold my 97 Cobra with 97k for only $8,500. Dont waste your time on a chick rental car V6... What was wrong with the green one BTW?
