1998 gt

I am thinking about buying a mustang this saturday. Just wondering if there is anything I should look for on this car in particular. Also what would be some of the first mods you recommend and where can I get them.

i might kill myself if someone else asks this but ill answer your question...you can do a pi swap and get the stuff off ebay...you can get gears...nitrous? atleast thats what im doin

Def PI head, intake, and cams.... that alone will put you 230 rear wheel. Then tri ax... and 4.10s or 4.30s..

Just look for the obvious wear and tear. Also if the car is all stock that will be a big plus. The first thing to do is I would say is gears. Go with 4.10. And then get a shifter for it. Afterwards do the famous headswap or intake and cam swap. There are endless things you can do to these cars. Just have fun with it.

what does the car you are looking at consist of? color, vert?, clean, already modded?????? how many miles

hey stangnewbie..how much did u pay for your PI swap stuff?

Agreed .. the gear selection would be driven by what you're going to do with it. You may not want steeper gears (4.10s) if you will do a lot of highway driving.

I'd save for the PI swap #1. Then do gears.

I paid 600 for new pi heads cams and intake I got it off of ebay but if you are having someone else doing it get ready to pay like 1100 for labor

If you get it for a steal (like under 70k miles and for $8000) i would say sure.
if you are in love with that body style I would buy a 96-98 cobra (you can find them for under $12k easy)

if body style isn't an issue look around for a 1999 or newer under $10k and start with mor HP out of the gate.

I think I will get a good deal on it. It has 34k on it and their asking $9700 for it.
I believe its green. Its a hard top. This is all I know about the car for now until saturday when I go check it out. I do hope its not modded yet, cause I like messing with that type of stuff.
