Default Just got me a 95 5.0!

Im trying to preserve my 02 mustang for as long as possible with as little miles as possible which has around 58k right now and about 10k on the super charger so I came to the idea of buying me a daily driver..I came across this one on craigslist and ending driving it home 3 hrs later for $2400...

Heres what I know about this 5.0
117k "original" miles
has an a/c leak
minor oil pan gasket damage
flowmaster weld in's

The car def needs some TLC and some paint but the motor runs very strong..I do get occasional check engine light coming on and off but imma run a scan pretty soon to see what the hell is going on..anyways hopefully this baby wont break down on me..removed the spoiler right when i got home she looks better wingless lol

My future plans,

*Lower 2inches
*set of 17' wheels
*new exhaust tips
*cobra side scoops
*new headlights
*saleen s281 wing
*96-98 taillights

and other goodies












This is the look im gonna go for

Around here you'll get a POS for that kind of money. In my opinion you came out pretty good.

By the looks of it, it looks like you have a "gts" stang, considering the V6 seats, nonleather steering whell, etc. They're pretty rare. A good tune up will get that 5.0 running right again. Keep an eye on that AODE. They are notorious for slipping as the miles wear on. But good deal!

the steering wheels is beat up but disguised by that gay cover..and those seats yes they are horrible but fortunately they are way more comfortable than my leathers in my 02 lol previous owner said he put new plugs and wires in it about a month ago so i think im pretty good..the tranny hasnt seemed to slip but ill keep close watch..not gonna be running this car hard at all just get me from point A to B
