I'm curiou what everyones oppinion is on this. For the $10,000 or less what would be the best mustang to buy. Of course I mean pretty much stock to use as a platform for later mods. Obviouslt to find one alread tricked out would be the best option. But what about as far as close to stock? Whats the best buy for $10,000? Thanks in advance for your input. Also I'm near Houston Tx..so any of you that have any for sell , let me know what you have...maybe we can make a deal.

You could get a beautiful 5.0 that runs 10s for that kind of money or an 01 gt with low miles.

I'd get a 96-98 GT for that.

You should be able to find a 99-2001 for 10,000. Do you want a daily driver, street/strip car or do you want a track car?


If you want a street/strip car, shop for a 99-2001 GT.
If you want a track car, you should be able to fine a built 87-93 5.0.

get a 94-95 5.0 GT.... for anywhere around 5-7k take the rest of the money and mod it... heads, intake, cam, gears, rearend etc. run 12's N/A add N02 and run 11's.... or jsut s/c the car.... ALOT of options to go for.


i myself have the 01GT im selling to my uncle for about a 2-3k loss. buying a 94-95 GT and doing the above mods.... accept i'll have around $7,000 to play with :hehe:

go pick up an autotrader for your area. i found a few low mile 94-95 GT's low miles being under 30K selling for 6-8k....

For the best mustang you can get for $10k I would say a 96-98 cobra. I have owned two 5.0s and my 96. I love my cobra the most even though my 88 would kill it in a race.

Would be a daily driver....possibly a little time at the drag strip every now and then. Curious why 99 and up?

I'd vote for a 97-00 with some miles, or otherwise a fox body in good shape and spend the money on parts.

I could not agree more. This will get you the most performance for your dollar. You just need to find a low mile one that has not been driven hard.

I have maybe only seen one or two (96-98s) run into the 14s(high)
and as of your complete bone stock 99 running 13.7
(no gears, no exhaust, nothing)

My buddy's 2002 GT (5spd) ran 13.7 BONE stock at the track... so its not BS. He has the time slip.

If you want to hear "unheard of" i've heard stories of this one kid at the track having a 98GT that is COMPLETLY N/A running low 12's...and he DOESN't have the 99+ PI headswap... He drives it like he stole it. THAT is impressive...

There's a '95 Cobra that's already modified and it's $10k.
