I sold my second Mustang just about a year ago. I loved the car, but it was bought cheap, and after four enjoyable summers I got the chance to sell it with a profit, so I let it go. It was almost perfect in every way with only about 50,000 miles on the clock.
The plan was to upgrade a little and get myself a C5 or C6 Corvette. It's an itch I have to scratch, but for the time being, I'm going to let it continue to itch. It was a Corvette or another interesting cab/Ttop car. In then end I couldn't bring myself to spend so much money on a(nother) summer toy. So - I ended up getting myself another Mustang. I missed the V8 burble. I missed having a Mustang, to put it simply. Having happened upon this low mileage (50,000km) 1997 GT Cab, I couldn't resist. So it's joined the stable. I'm looking forward to enjoying the last bit of summer, and a winter of small fixes. (Refurb the wheels, small bits of bodywork touch up, new fruitier exhaust).

Nice motor, I've always liked the SN-95 (and Fox bodies too)

Excuse my ignorance but is it the 5.0 Windsor or the 4.6 modular?

So here's some more pics, after a wheel refurb (my own little Edd China home done rattle can upgrade wink )
Some gold bumper stickers, and a gold painted pony.
Has to be metallic gold paint when I don't have the resources to do real gold plating wink

Car looks in a mint condition for its fairly young age.
Not too keen on those wheels myself but it's easy to moan about something.

I wonder what the dashboard looks like - not too dated?
Will google some photos i guess.

Can't say that i see many of those on the road, can count it on my fingers.
