New Ride. 1996 Mustang GT.

[JC316]

Picked this little beauty up last Friday. The owner thought that it had a blown head gasket, so did I come to think of it, but it was simply a coil pack that had come unplugged, causing it to run on only 4 cylinders and smoke due to the gasoline being dumped into the hot exhaust.

Just got it completely running and detailed tonight. Sorry for the crummy pics, but I had limited space and lighting, will get better pics and exhaust clips tomorrow. So, this is what I got...

1996 Mustang GT 4.6L 5 speed
Ford Racing clutch
3.55 Gears in a traction-lok rearend
Short throw shifter
Unknown Brand cat back exhaust

Needed:
A/C Charged
Idler Pulley
Belt
Cleaning
CD player (Not needed, but tape decks blow)

Still Needs:
Passenger Kick Panel
Passenger door handle

Price = $1500

Is that Laser Red?

Is that Laser Red?

Yeah, it is.

Oh God. Don't ever scratch that car. lol. It's damn near impossible to match properly, and the paint is expensive (at least it used to be a few years ago). It's a multi-stage paint job.

I had a Fire mist red Cadillac a few years back that was just like that. $360 per quart and it was a multi stage. I intend to keep this sucker as pristine as possible, but someone has already tried to touch up a scratch.....

Yep. You can tell right away, can't you? Always hated that color as a mech. lol.

Yes, yes you can. The passenger side door has been changed and the bottom ground effect is scraped up pretty badly. Fortunately they found a laser red door off from a v6 stang and put it on, so you can barely tell.

The mods are good on it, I am getting about a 6 second 0-60 and I wasn't even trying that hard so I don't need any more power than that. I just need better speakers, maybe an amp/sub. I do have an Evap malfunction code, but I am sure that it's a broke vacuum line somewhere since they are all brittle as hell.

Thanks for the offer though, if I think of anything, you will be the first that I ask.

Very nice find you picked up there. My buddy just picked up a similar car yesterday. His is a 98 Mustang. Same motor but not quite as good shape as yours. His is white w/ blk interior. Needs some body work to pop out some dings and needs some of the ground effects replaced. Well worth the 1500 bucks he payed for it. It was a stolen recovery car from Cali. Its always good to know people that own towing / recking yards.
EDIT: I actualy think his is the 3.8L now that I am thinking about it.

causing it to run on only 4 cylinders

You mean it has more than 4 cylinders?

Mmhhmm awesome power....

Had a boat with a 6 cylinder engine once...
