The last few years have been hard on my 98 GT. Until last August I was commuting 130 miles a day, 5 days a week. My wife was in school and needed our Jetta for that so the GT was my commuter... The paint on the GT was pretty nice when I got it but I soon found out the clear coat was poorly done. The paint has looked crappy for the last 4 years.
From this:
To this:
I decided to buy another car with good paint to swap all of my good parts to. The I started thinking I might like a convertible.
After 2 months of looking at 100's of Mustang and Cobra's on Craigslist I found one.
1997 Crystal white with black top and black leather, 1 of 190 made in that combo.
The car was in Phoenix I called about it on a Tuesday and the owner sent me a bunch of pictures and seemed like a good guy. Turns out he was a great guy. I flew in on Friday night and he picked me up at the airport and found me a motel. He picked me up in the cobra the next morning and we went to an MVD place to transfer it to me. We the went back to his house where I loaded up the extra's and hit the road.
Cervinis speedster top and original convertible boot.:
I put the speedster top in the back with the top down and hit the road.
My sister in law lives in Flagstaff so that was my first stop. I stayed overnight in Flag and ate some really good food. The next day I drove home to Albuquerque.
