I am looking at two mustangs to buy one is a 1997 v6 auto convertable clean but engine is fried i can buy it for $1500. it is local. The secound is a 1994 gt auto convertable needs paint top and window is not working. Its about 400 miles from me $1500 also I have about 2500 to spend on a car i want a stang bad what do you suggest?

 

Well if you havent bought one yet, i'd go for a V8. The 94 GT seems like an easier fix. Look around tho, theres tons of mustangs being sold, even if you have to wait a few months to get one, it would prolly be worth it. Where you located ?

Welcome!

 

Heys guys nice to be here.

 

Definitely go with V8.

 

The 3.8's that are in the mustangs/t-birds/taurus's/windstar etc are prone to head-gasket failure. It usually fails around the 100k mark. The 3.8 in my dads t-bird failed at 111k. Its a pretty easy fix.
As for which car to buy, the GT is an overall better car. The 302, in stock or mild build form are VERY relaible and damn near bullet proof. In the long run I think youd be happier with the GT. Even though the initial repair would cost more. Unless you prep the car yourself and take it to Maaco to get it painted.
-P.

 

i recently purchased a '05' v6 preimium mustang, i wanted to know what kind of modification i can make to max out the hp in it and how much hp would i gain if i do so?
