A car with that much neglect needs to be taken apart to be detailed. Pull the seats, carpet, panels etc... One at a time.

I did pull the seats to clean the coke stains, pulled the door panel and rear package tray to change the speakers, pulled the instrument cluster to try and fix the odometer, and pulled the kick panels to run speaker wires. All the way cleaning them.

But you still have to look at the fact that it's got over 160K miles on it, it's a daily driver, and I only gave $1500 for it, never gonna be a show car. Plus it's been a while since cleaning. This thread is more for showing the rarity of the option package. I looked and couldn't find many pics of the 248A cars.

Wow, take care of your car.. I dont understand how you get a car that dirty in "3 weeks".

But ya its interesting. I had never heard of a 'true' GTS. I had heard ricer fans talk about it as a ''super fast'' mustang but never as a V6 with a V8 lol.

I will admit that I didn't put my finest efforts on the interior, I was mostly concerned with the exterior. I need to spend a few hours cleaning the seats and carpets. I am 23 and had 3 cars since I was 15, I keep a car for a long time and take good care of it.

It's a tad quicker than a stock GT, but nothing to write home about.

having a "gts" is nothing to brag about, it just means the person that bought it didnt want to spend the extra cash but wanted a v8 still.

Those coin holders on the pre 98s I think it was with the cup holder in the center console that folds out. Every time I clean the interior I have to get out cotton swabs and the trusty syringe to get it all out. There was a guy on here that had a GTS blackmage I believe.
