Took a ride in an 09 Mustang the other day, it was a convertible with the top up. What a pos plastic rattle trap. I don't think I could be more disappointed in a car. Better off sticking with the mustang you already have.

Nissans are crap. I say this from experience.

I like the 05+ mustangs, almost bought an 06 V6 pony package. If I buy newer I'm getting 99-04 mustang, I like them more than the 05+.

Civic would be 06+, I don't really like the ones before that model. It also has to be a coupe and has to be a manual, have about 3-4 of them around here.

Man that sucks that your selling it. I'm sorry your having such difficulty with it lately. I would keep it and get something like a 3500 dollar Honda just to drive to school etc.

If you do sell it and get another car, I would look for 94-98 or 99-04. I don't care for the 05 up Mustangs much at all. You can probably find a clean one with out too many miles on it for a decent price. I would do that and keep the 67, but thats just me.

It realizes you're going to sell it and is making it hard for you on purpose. It's a sign!

jkjk, wish this wasn't as much trouble for you.

I swear this car broke because fixing my transmission was free!

Short little video of it warming up, second video of the exhaust since I had the old cruddy cherrybomb on it almost 3 years ago.



Dont think you would realize its a 6 til you pop the hood.

You'd be surprised. I saw a 6 done as a GT recently, with dual headers and GT dual exhaust. Sounded like a 289.

That sounds good, what mufflers are on it, turbos?

When mine was still an I6, I had a transverse mounted firebird muffler that was single in dual out, so I could have dual tailpipes. It sounded similar to yours but quieter.

When we first got it running, it had a glasspack that was red, but it wasn't a cherry bomb, I forgot what brand it was. It sounded just like yours in that other video when its in primer.
