The story of how I got my Mustang
I have Had my 2000 Mustang GT for a little over a year and I just thought I would share with you guys the story and the pictures of how I got it. the pictures are in order of the story.
My first car was a 1979 Ford Granada, Had a inline 6. I Put two 12 inch subs in the trunk and called it the pimp mobile. Sold after a year for $1,100
Bought my favorite car of all that I have had (besides my mustang) a 1968 Ford F250 for $1,500 with a 360 big block. I did a lot of work to this. I put on new wheels and tires, Flowmaster 40 series mufflers, Sounded awesome! I painted the engine, Edelbrock 4 barrel carb with edelbrock aluminum intake, I did custom stereo system and to much more to list.
I traded my 68 ford for a 1969 oldsmobile 98 very cool car but I wish I would have kept the ford. It had a 455 rocket with 365 horse power! It was very fast for how big of a car it was , I think it was about 21 ft long! It had everything power windows, air conditioning, power antena, power trunk. it was lowered about 3 inches and had custom pinstriping. The plan was to put 22s on it and a loud sound system but winter rolled around and I decided that I wanted a 4x4.
I traded the oldsmobile for a 1974 Chevy K20 4x4. It was ok for a chevy but it was not for me., I did not have it very long. I sold it for $2,500 and with the money I had been saving up bought my mustang and I am very happy now! I Never plan I getting rid of my mustang! unless a mach 1 or cobra opertunity pops up
Here are the pics in order of the story

Yes I got really lucky on all of them. all the oldsmobile needed was a new headliner and the chevy needed new exaust and had just a few small rust issues, the ford was perfect!
I have many mods planded for my mustang like lowering springs, off road H, and a few other things, I just installed the mach 1 grill delete. Before I do some of those mods I need to to some maintenance work like a tune up, flush radiator and new brake fluid
