So i sold my 94 convertible because i didn't like the gas mileage and the problems i couldn't afford to fix, so i sold it and bought something bigger but better on gas (crown Victoria) lol, i sold the vic because i could stand the attention of the gangsters or how slow other people where going on the freeway (thinking i was a cop lol). And finally found what i wanted, Rio red drop top 5.0l mustang.

Came with the light bar as you see.

Nice. I always wanted a light bar for my vert. The dent in the rear quarter panel worries me though.

Yeah the dent is pretty much why i got the car for 1700 lol the interior is clean, 5 speed, heater/ ac works, and the car also has subframe connectors!
Ill probably just get my friend body man do the dings and the quarter panel, the body man did some great jobs for my friend's 85 mustang coupe t-top, so im going to take it to him.

went full circle huh? I have heard the rear fender repairs can get pretty expensive and have even heard of them being totalled from it if its too bad. Paint looks like it could use some work?

Your story is familiar to me- went to an HPP Grand Marquis GS for the same reason. Figured that it would work out since it had the same NPI 4.6 that my '97 GT did. Lesson learned, nothing feels like a Mustang, and once you've had one you will have another. Took me 3 years to figure that out lol

The car will get there, maybe a color-sand or compounding to get it back to life.

Brian95svt, how much are you looking to get for them?
ttocs, the body man said itll cost 400 (because of the homie discount) to bang out the dent and the ill pay for the paint, and the i had a 03 crown victoria with the pi heads and that car had majo balls lol
gold member, the crown vic was nice and all, i was thinking i should modify that first but the cost was too high and parts were hard to find.
