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.

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.

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. :]
