Found this down in Dallas (400 miles from me) 98 gt, 5 speed. Tan leather in great shape (not a fan of tan, but its clean and all there). Only downfall, it will need a short block. But otherwise I stole the car....

It has exhaust, t/b, maf, gears, lowered, pulleys, timing adjuster, and some other small goodies.

It still runs and drives, just doesn't make compression in #1. Looks to be an old nitrous car as we found pop rivets in the truck about the same size of a bottle bracket. No biggie on the short block, still for the overall total investment, I'll have one nice car for way less than its worth.

Those pics were taking before I spend 3 days cleaning, clay baring and waxing it. Looks even better now!! Overall I'm very happy with it. Even though the motor is hurt, still feel I stole the car.

Very clean. I like the saddle interiors. They gave the Stang a touch of class IMO

You should throw a built shortblock in there with some pi h/c/i

Or I guess you could just drop a PI engine in...

I guess it depends on your goals for the car

I am hoping to find a nice pi motor local to just drop in. Don't want a 12 sec car. Just a nice weekend driver.
