My 'stang has 160,000 miles on it and it showing no signs of giving up. It's also a '96 3.8 ...If you have another car to drive, and he just gave it to you to get rid of it..i'd turn it in to a project. I'd get a 4.2 and supercharge it or something similar. Just have fun with it.

you have a 200,000 mile 3.8 and you're worried about rims? you could get a complete supercoupe motor for that much
