I am about ready to order a 2011 GT 5.0 Premium package with hood scope for spring. Crazy amount of money though.

Dont give up, I am in that stage right now as far as trying to find a car... always remember good things come to those who wait so just be patent and what you are looking for will come around soon.

How far are you willing to go and how much would you pay? I know of a bunch of nice ones here in north TX.

Took me about 6-8 months to find mine. I actually had my eye on this car all damn summer until the seller dropped the price into my range.

I started looking and found a few hits within a couple hundred miles on autotrader... had my GT within about 3 weeks after I decided on what prospects to check out in what order, and it was the only one I ended up looking at. Probably depends on exactly how picky you are being. I looked for under 75k miles with a manual transmission under $10k and wasn't too picky about options or color. I picked mine up in Apalachin... there seem to be a good amount of used cars, usually including a couple camaros and mustangs on that strip of 434 between Owego and Vestal.

I may have found a 95 Mustang, but it's a V-6 with 5 speed, the guy says it's mint body wise, 100k miles but new Ford motor with 20k, he wants $2000. He is a dealer and that is what he gave in trade for it, he has all the documentation from new incl the new motor. He says he will put it on the lift for me to see how clean it is.

Going to see it tomorrow , can have a lot of fun for $2000 while waiting for my GT to show up, then give it to the wife

Also being a 95 it does not have to plug in to pass inspection here in NY, so could plant a built 351 in there for fun

What yall think?

Don't settle. Best advice I can give.

Also, don't spend over 8-9k on a mint, lower mile 99-04 GT. Next best advice I can give, unless, that is you are really obsessed with this body style or you nab a Mach for the 12-14k range, Cobra 16-18k.
