Step-sons new 99 GT vert

optionizerSS · Jul 26, 2023

Step-son picked this up yesterday. 116,000 miles. 4.6 auto. Has Saleen dressing but pretty sure it's a GT.

yeah we were 99.9% sure it wasn't a Saleen. Paid $5400 and got the stock wheels with so-so tires on them and got the mid pipe that came off it.

Some subtle exterior mods like offing those euro tails and moving that stock wing back a few inches would make that car much more eye appealing. Also ditching the replica r wheels for some 18" saleens would be on my list.

not sure what he is going to do to it visibly. He is planning on fresh paint this winter and recovering the seats in black but thats all he has mentioned. he did mention pulling those bumpers and putting GT bumpers back on it but i think he is starting to like these ones

Sunday’s we can wear sports stuff! The #6 jersey isn’t a Bubby Briister. The jersey has 1 patch from each of their 6 Titles!

But my go-to is #58, “toothless” Jack Lambert.

Car looks great! 95opal said it best. Move the wing back a few inches would look better and maybe a different color wheel. Ive always liked chrome wheels with a yellow car. No dought about it tho, your son scored a good lookin ride

Good call on the rear wing, Opal & 96! I missed that. But leave the black wheels! (Steeler colors).

he wanted a yellow car with black wheels so pretty sure they are staying....lol

+1 on the black seats. Too many shades of black, grey going on there IMO. Wheels seem fine to me though. I had a dark green ‘96 V-6 with chrome Saleeen knock-offs on it. Got a boatload of compliments. The 5-spokes you have look fine to me! (sorry, just my unsolicited $.02)!
