Lemme first say, this is not my dream car. I hate autos, and I don't like convertibles. But this was a deal I simply could not pass up. This car runs fantastic. It had a massive cold air intake. Header back dual exhaust that sounds incredible. Nice american racing wheels. Big ole cowl hood. And a B&M Hammer ratchet shifter. The car is completely rust free, and drives great. Literally zero issues in that respect. It will tear it's z rated tires off like that's what it was built to do. The only thing the "freedom machine" needs, is paint and a new back window. Again...vert problems. And I bought this car a year ago for......nope you're wrong. $800 bucks. My mechanic was speechless. Zero rust, needs nothing mechanically, and I can roast it's tires all day long. Oh yeah....and the odometer broke at 74k which they love to do, but it was last registered before I bought it at 72k, so it still has less than 100k on the clock. So, my question to you....what do I do with it now?

Proof the Freedom Machine shreds tires. still hate that it's an auto. Next time I'll use the B&M Hammer to keep it in first gear to really send those tires to the farm where all my pet hamsters live.

If it runs perfect and roasts tires your looking good. I would save my money for tires because you will be roasting them. You dont want to be like a lot of guys that start modding things and then it does not run. Too many times guys fool with there cars then they mess up. I dont fix anything till its broke. Because they break. New top, and paint is what I would do thats six grand. Thanks for joining , and putting pictures up

SELL IT!!!!!! LOL I love that you HATE VERTS as much as I do. We can sell both yours and mine as twins. GT/3.H8 Combo Pack

You are not really too far from me either.

1996 Ford Mustang 8 Cylinders X 4.6L FI SOHC 280 CID
LICENSE PLATE: PA KSH8837

Id give you the $800 for it LOL,

All I see here that it would need is 1 trip to a Pull-A-Part to grab a Manual Trans and then its good.

But really, I would give you $800 for it

I don't mind verts. Gives you a niche market if you spend the money right. Been sitting on this one for awhile. Rolling again and already getting some offers. Just another view.
