And you still have it right? I think I always get you and another member mixed up, because I'm pretty sure someone sold their same color car and got a newer Mustang. Unless it was you that did that lol

i had every intention of never selling my lightning but when gas hit 4.50 a gallon and it costing me 2K a month i just couldnt fund it any more. i had it 5 years and my LX ive had 5 years this summer also. i dont plan to sell this one. if it comes down to not having the money for it i will turn the tags in and leave it in the garage

Yes I have 2 now (kind of). I'm taking the engine and trans out of the T-Top and sticking it in the notch and i'll drive that till the body & paint is finished on the T-Top.

Yep that's the one. Original 5 spd 5.0 car. Has some aftermarket goodies like rear end being geared, 5 matching pony wheels (some with brand new Falken tires), all after market suspension, converted to MAF and clean title with a straight body including good torque boxes and solid floor pan with no tears or twisting. I got it for $800 and he trailered it one hour to my garage. With all the extras it came with i'll sell them and make half my $ back. For instance, I wonder what a BBK hi flow cat H-pipe goes for in good used condition that came with it?

Anyways, hope to be cruising with you come June time!

Is that Joes Crabshack in the background of your original post? Did you take that pick at the O'side Harbor?
