Hello,

I used to be a member here years ago when I had a 91 GT and a 94 droptop GT. I sold them both and bought a truck. Next month I plan on buying another GT. I am trying to figure out which direction I should go. The 94-95 5.0, 96-98 4.6, or the newer body style 99-2004 4.6? I dont plan on heavy engine besides basics like exhaust, etc...but focusing more on looks and style....what would you buy for about $10,000?? I have seen 99 and 2000's for as low as 8,000 and 95 for the same price...I guess it's really personal preference but what are some advantages or disadvantages of the above? I appreciate all your help in helping with my decision!! Thanks!

if you can find a 99+ for a good price then thats what i would go with, if not get a 95gt for about 5 grand and then sink the other 5 grand into it

i have a 96. I like the 99 - ups too. Wouldnt say they look better though. Defintely better power though. You should be able to get nice 96-98 for 5 or 6k and a 99 for 8k. Its hard to sell a stang now cause the new ones look sooooooooooooooooo much better in my opinion. I would still love a black or white 87 - 93 gt convertible though. Probably be a restoration project for me in a couple of years. Can you believe people are restoring fox bodies? My 96 gt was one of the first modulars. I saw a tag stamped 8/15/95 somewhere on it. the modualrs are already ten years old almost.

Thanks for the comments. I was thinking 99+ too or a 95GT and put the 5k into it...i just didnt know if it would be worth it. I want a daily good running car that I dont have to worry about breaking down etc or having any problems which is why i was thinking 99 up and still finding one with low mileage fro a dealer and get an extended warranty or something.

Before I bought the 04 I was looking at some 2000 and 1999 models that were close to that price range. Most had high mileage but still were in nice shape.

Although the 96-98 GT's are better looking than the 99+'s, the 99+'s have more rwhp. Get one in decent shape and add a S/C to it.

Imo find a 96-98 Cobra for 10K. Might be high mileage but assuming you find one in good shape it should have some life left in her.

If you want a GT then get a 99+. They look better imo and have more power.

Using it as a downpayment isnt such a good idea when you can just pay the other one off imo.

Makes no sense to pay payments if you dont have to.

thats true, but then 380HP, and capability to handle alot more with relative ease....
If you can find one for around $25g, with $10000 downpayment, you should be able to get payments down to something like $200 and some




i would do that
