Well, she ain't that old but driving the new 5.0 sure puts things into perspective. I put a deposit down on a black 5.0 with 3.73s last weekend.

Prepping my 07 for sale has left a lump in my throat. These are the last pictures I will have of her before she gets stripped back to stock.

Enjoy!

Love, love, love the car/wheel color combination with the subtle pop of the brake calipers.

Congrats on the new car!

Poor baby. She's probably wondering whatever did she do to make you leave her. Just kidding - have fun with your new ride. Post pics soon!

I sold my 03 GT for my 11 GT (also black with 3.73s). I felt terrible watching someone drive off in my 03 that had my blood seat and tears in it. My dad and I did all the mods together, even the cams. That feeling went away as soon as my 11 GT got here

Its better then getting hit from the rear and having your car totaled after putting lots of work and money her for 5 years. Sorry this just happened to my stang tonight. Have fun with the new 5.0 and post up some pics.

My son was sad when I told him I was selling my 05 gt, but thrilled when I told him I was selling it to one of my clients, so he could see the car almost every day.

As a note the guy who bought my car is around 6'6" and his name is Anthony. The problem is there are way too many anthonys at my gym. So I have dubbed him Mustang Tony. I'm guessing within a month I'll have his wife calling him that. Really nice guy, I assume he'll take good care of my old baby.
