[BLCKSTNG96]

so i have been searching for months now for either a silver on black or triple black 96-98 gt convertible and on saturday i finally found it.i ended up getting rid of my blue 96 coupe and got a 2001 ranger and didnt have that long,got ride of it saturday for this supercharged triple black 96 gt convertible.here are a few pics of it.sorry its dirty in the pics for now,its been too damn cold out to clean it yet and not have it get dirty again lol.

Looks good man. Do you plan on adding some tires with some Sidewall and adding some handling characteristics to it?

 

[got5.0]

looks good, just needs a drop and rear spacers, but you prolly know that... whats it make?

 

[BLCKSTNG96]

thanks guys,plans are as follows: im taking the stupid SLP catback off it tonight and putting a MAC on it,not a fan of SLP and i absolutely love the way mac sounds.
also picking up a set of full length subframes tonight for it.,I deff have every intention on lowering the car,its WAYY too high.just not sure what route im going yet,coilovers like my coupe or just springs.
i'm also going to be painting this car the exact opposite of my coupe.its going to be silver on the bottom and stay black on top.
the wheels and tires will also be up for sale soon.they are brand new,both have 2k miles on them but im switching to black staggered fr500s also like my coupe.

as far as i as well as the previous owner knowsthe car is just a stock non pi motor with just the plenum,,throttle body and supercharger with full exhaust including shorty bbks and catted x. his tuner said the car made 340hp 350tq and he said he used to have a 6lb on it and its 9 now so im not sure what it was making then but im going to be taking the car to my tuner for a retune as i dont think this tune is that great.car also has a custome front mount intercooler setup.

not bad! I love the way convertibles look with the style bar!

 

[BLCKSTNG96]

thanks and i couldnt agree more.the styling bar was deff one of the things i HAD to have on a vert.

 

[JonBeast]

Sick bro! Glad to see you found what you were looking for...gonna paint the top half silver?

 

[OnyxCobra]

Nice lookin car, why make it so much like your other one?

 

[GT Rob]

Nice clean car good luck with it

 

[BLCKSTNG96]

Hey Jon,thanks dude.things deff worked out well in the end and yeah I'm painting it silver but not on the top,I'm doing the bottom on this car,goes better with black on top with the black top and all.

To answer the other question.....why not make it like my other car lol.I love my coupe and how it looks but would never get rid of it for a vert so I figured why not make it nearly exact but without a top,and it should make for some sick pics lol.once I get the coupe paint and body redone id love to get the 2 of them together for a mag shot.that's the goal lol.

 

[AZTECSN95]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. To answer the question of how much,the guy had the car posted for 6grand,i straight traded him my 4wd 01 low mileage ranger.
