WTB: 99-04 GT 5 Speed Coupe

**SlowSix** · 10-30-2011, 09:29 PM

well...my car currently looks like this...

Most likely totaled, and if it is I'm looking for a 99-04 GT.
MUST BE 5 SPEED. NO VERTS. preferably 01+. looking for under 80K miles, lower the better. Probably be looking at spending around 10k.

Will also consider a 94-98 5.0 if the price is right and car is clean.

sell you a mach 1 and you can do the 5 speed thing

**blizzard** · 10-30-2011, 11:28 PM

ouch. :(

Geez - sorry to hear about this. I was just admiring the photo of your car the other day. I guess you weren't hurt. I hope things work out and you end up back in the saddle soon.

roads were slick, car got sideways, couldn't save it, went into the ditch and then the pole....

I think your going to need a screen name change soon! Glad your alright!

Yeah me and my two passengers are all okay which is what really matters.
Just really bummed about the car, I was looking into putting an eaton blower on it soon :/

**KeystoneJohnny** · 10-31-2011, 07:06 AM

Sorry to see. I know how you feel. I hope you get a replacement soon. At least nobody was hurt.

Anyone have any leads on a car?
There are a couple on craigslist I saw although a few of them are high mileage and auto...

Maybe pick up a winter beater and take your time searching? It is always tough to find that perfect clean car and then have to drive it in the winter.

**SlowSix** · 10-31-2011, 11:37 AM

Yeah that is what I was thinking. Idk

X2. Also maybe you could save up some more cash over the winter and pick up a 99 or 01 cobra. They are out there for not much more than you are looking to spend.

Even if they do total the car, you can buy it back - probably very cheap - and part it out. I bought back my super clean '95 SHO for about $200. Your car will be worth more in scrap than what you'll have to pay for it. Only thing is you'll need a place to keep the car while you're parting it. Maybe some guys on here would be interested in some of the parts - you make some $$ and some guys here get a good deal on parts.

Like this 01' in Ohio for $13.5 if you bring your own wheels and tires. Looks clean and only has 40k miles on it.

Man that one is sweet Steve!! Those CCWs are the sexiest rims out there on these cars.

Slowsix - you could also find a really nice '94-5 Cobra - they are a big upgrade from the fox bodies ( as much as I love the foxes ), but for some reason they don't pull the big money. Many of them are out there, tastefully modded, for a very reasonable price. Take your time and look around. I bet there are a few beaters available around here that can get you through the winter(s).

**Terminated** · 10-31-2011, 12:58 PM

CCWs are definitely sweet, but I am tired of seeing them on every 03/04 Cobra or Cobra clone.

I have a friends garage we could keep the car for a bit and strip everything off of. I was planning on buying it back if its totaled

**pRojekt02GT** · 10-31-2011, 07:12 PM
