New 'Stang owner in Central Florida
 

Morning!

So, the wife wanted a convertible for her 40th birthday. There were a few requirements - inexpensive (it's a third car), COOL, and a stick.

We found a beauty for $3k - 1997 v6. Has 128k on the engine with no mechanical issues. Paint is in great shape - interior need a bit of sprucing up, driver's side seat belt needs to be replaced (it's really frayed) but looks a lot better after a thorough cleaning.

Guess the only bad thing is that the previous owner decided she wanted a "GT", so badged it as a GT and replaced the rear bumper with a GT one.

(I don't think I can post pictures yet - but will as soon as I can).

I live about a hour north of Orlando but work downtown when not traveling.

Nice to meet ya'll...

Hi, congrats and welcome.

If it still looks good on the outside and is mechanically sound, then that sounds like a great buy for 3K! Good job, I know she'll enjoy it. Convertible for life, baby!

Congratulations and Welcome to MF!

Indeed! That's a good looking car for only 3k! Good find!
