    anything to look for when buying a 94-95 5.0?

    i currently have a '98 V6 auto stang and am looking for a stang with a 5-speed tranny. i came across a '94 5.0 5-speed, sounds like a pretty nice car. it has 112,000 miles (is that too many?) a clutch that only has 5,000 miles on it, good tires, an off-road H pipe and flowmasters. it has 3.73...

    good deal, or should i wait?

    i just got off the phone with the guy that has the 5.0. he says it has the cobra svo hood? (or something like that) because he bumped into his friend at 5mph, and the bumper support was bent in, so he replacedit, however no damage was done to the radiator or engine or anything. the clutch was...

    good deal, or should i wait?

    i absolutely hate the fox bodies, but i was looking at the '94 and '95 5.0's. i found a '94 with 111,000 miles, red 5-speed with black interior. it has a pretty sweet aftermarket hood scoop thing goin on...asking $5800. should the miles scare me or will it run for another 100,000?

    good deal, or should i wait?

    as far as the wheels go, i'd probably take the super ugly ones off the '97 and put them on my '98 and sell them w/ my '98. i'd put the stock V6 wheels from my '98 on to the '97. so the wheels thing wouldnt be much of an issue, its more so the wing. as for the 99+ stangs having more power...i...

    V6 to V8 Conversion?

    ive always like to dream of putting a carburated 351 in my car, it would be like no other car and would be faster than most cars. if i were to do an engine swap, i'd get an engine with a carb and get rid of the computer and make the car simple, like they were in the good ole days

    went to the track for the 1st time

    Friday night I went to the drag strip to see what my stock V6 automatic stang would do in the 1/4 mile. My best 1/8 mile time was 11.223 @ 62.740mph and my best 1/4 mile time was 17.424 @ 79.461mph. Those of you that have done a thing or two to your cars...what are you guys running in the 1/4...

    Power Antenna

    has anyone installed or attempted to install a power antenna in a mustang? i usually listen to CD's, not the radio and i think the car would look a lot cleaner without that antenna sticking out all the time, auto zone has them for $40, would it be worth it?
