Background:
All threw high school a 1994-1998 was my dream car. I used to love attending our local Dallas/Fort Worth Streetraces and checking out all the crazy mustang builds. We still to this day have some of the fastest builds in the Country. Most of the Sn bodies were 5.0s that were built and stroked to hell and back and just hearing them scream was so provokingly contemplative to me. My father had sold my car that i had in high school and part of my graduation present was 2000$ for a down payment on whatever i wanted. In my small city where i was living i walked a half a mile to work and back every day and just banked the money. When i was 19 I finally started digging my teeth deep into auto traders and etc etc. Went and looked at a lot of different cars, test drives blah blah and nothing seemed to hit me like it should.
One day i was going to see a movie with one of my best friends and we were going down one of the bigger highways in Texas in his truck and that's where i saw My BAB. It was sitting up on one of those High up display racks that usaully sit in corners on used car lots. looked shiny as hell and immediately got my attention. I screamed turn this mother-****er around to him and he busted a 180 in the middle of a six lane highway thinking something crazy had happened i just told him to pull in there pointing at the dealer. I ran as fast as i could up to the rack and jumped up on the drivers side looking threw the glass praying it was a 5 speed and saw the stick shift and that was it. walked the car over with a fine tooth comb. It was after hours so they were closed so i couldn't talk to anyone or anything. But i pulled up the internet listing, wasn't even put up two hours before we saw it and read up on it etc etc. The next day i went up there and laid the Cash down. Had a intense negotiation with the dealer because the guy that had it before me wired up the radio backwards so nothing worked. and the only other thing wrong with it was a small tick that i traced to the sandwhich donut gasket on the passenger side, that many of you guys have changed i'm sure. they wanted 11,995 for it. it had 41,xxx on the clock, one owner car that had knocked his wife up and traded it for a surburban. Stock down to the air intake box and had nothing but a flowmaster catback on it and lowering springs. I talked them down to 10,000 because of the "issues" and put my 2000$ down. walked off the lot for 8K. in March of 2007
