Well i went out traded in my cobalt, and bought that car i was asking about. Heres the scoop on it.

2000 Mustang GT 5-speed
70,000 on it
Black w/ black/Blue leather
BONE stock

Personally i was never a big fan of this body style/engine but this car grew on me quick. Mind you i have never owned a manual and am still learning but im having a blast. This is going to be a great every day cruiser. Now i can finally meet up with everyone with my mustang when theres a get together.

Heres a few photos that are really dark because i dont know how to use my new camera either. Ill get some better ones on Sunday.

Nice, except for the painted trim.

I learned to drive stick shift in an 05 Roush Mustang. Unfortunately it was stolen in August 05.

Yeah the dash. Um, came like that. I want to paint it but its growing on me as well. Kinda goes with the seats. Ill prolly end up painting it black.

I have no clue about the seats. I looked for them online but couldnt find them. If someone sees a set let me know how much they cost.

And im diggin the three pedals as well.

good luck with the car. It will be a fun DD. One thing that I did on my 02 was to replace the stock shifter handle with a short throw one. It was the best $30 I spent. The stock one is really high. It gave the car a completely different feel. And by the way.....3 pedals will grow on you:goodidea:

Looks good man, but i have to agree with repainting the dash. Even with the blue thats a nice find.:thmbsup:

I did a prochamber and Magnaflow Magnapack cat back on my 00. Sounded like a Ford GT. If you want to place an order - call me. I am still a vendor for them. :thmbsup:

Nice car Bill. Loved my '00. You're probably going to sell the 5.0 to support the modding habbit for the modualar! :sticktonge:

As far as exhaust, I had a bassani cat back and bassani x and I would do it again if I got another one.

If it doesn't have it, replace the stock shifter with a Pro-5.0 or a Steeda Tri-ax. It will make finding the gears so much easier!! For some simple mods, I'd do some 4.10 gears, off-road X pipe with Magniflows, and some underdrive pulleys. Oh and you might want to do the spoiler mod (shift the rear spoiler farther back). You can find the directions at www.mustangworld.com

Do the wing mod! I did that on my 00. Took about 10 min to do and it looked way better. :awsome:

And it has the matching rear seats as well. Someone spent a few bucks to swap out that interior.
