Just bought a 97' Mustang

[lehcar]

Hey guys, im new here. Names Rachel. I bought a 1997 Mustang GT on Tuesday for $1600. Its an automatic, which i would rather have a standard, the tranny slips real bad in 1st gear, so i am getting it rebuilt with a shift kit. The only performance mod is exhaust. It does have a python alarm system along with remote start. Pretty convienent. :] Lol.
It needs a little bit of work. But other than the tranny issue she runs good.

Heres some pictures.

The rear passenger wheel is a cobra rim instead of a eagle replica because i gather the guy i bought it from hit a curb and busted the rim. And this is all he could find. I cant find another eagle replica wheel anywhere, either. You can see the scratch on the lower piece of the car from the curb.

Welcome to :SNSign:Rachel.... Nice Stang u got there, & seems like a good deal. Red is a great color....

 

[lehcar]

Thanks! The clear coat is starting to slighty bubble up in some spots. Not very noticable.
Lol, red....
We have a red explorer and a red f150 and three red 4wheelers (none of it on purpose either), i told myself i was going to stay away from red. But it seems i failed to do so. Lol.

Welcome to :SNSign: Rachael, you will find alot of useful information here. Also, get some steeper tranny gears in that pony, my 03 has 3.73's and I wish I had 4.30's instead!!

Welcome, sounds like you got a real good deal on that GT. I like those Eagle wheels, too bad you can't find a replacement.

 

[lehcar]

I really did get a good deal. He was asking $1800, but i talked him down to $1600. I cant believe it. But him and his wife were trying to start a family and...mustangs arent exactly a family friendly car. Lol. If you guys come across and eagle wheels like mine, please let me know. That would be greatly appreciated. :]

 

[tag4car]
