Default 4cyl is gone and replaced

Well, my 2.3 stang was broadsided by a 2005 Dodge ram 2500 diesel and totaled out. I recieved a check for 3305.50 for the car. Over twice what i paid for it!

Well, i just bought a 1983 GLX convertible 5.0 to replace it. Rebuilt engine, all original paint, interior ect... and looks amazing. paid 3200 for it so ive still got some money for a few tanks of gas. The engine was replaced with a rebuilt 86 engine. And it just got a full stainless flowmaster exhaust system. White, with white leather interior, and a white top. yay

Holy Cow. $3300!!! Maybe I shouldn't try avoiding collisions that wouldn't be my fault in mine.

Get some pics up, lol.

Hows a V8 compare to the 2.3L? Must be a huge difference. Yeah for sure, get some pics of it. Maybe I'll make my way out there and check it out.

+1, the nice cars are getting cheap now. I could buy a GT for $3300.
