Here is a perfect project for anyone who is looking for a great car with a cheap price, car is located in Queens New York and is available to check upon request. Look at the picture below the car is a 5speed ford mustang v6 3.8 It will need tender love and car. I beilve it only needs a perfect paint job and is good to go. The car has tan cloth interior. Perfect airbag system a cold a/c system. The car is a 1995 and i'm willing to let it go for $2000 also remember since it is a 1995 other minor work might be needed.
Let me add that the car has power window and lock. The car mechanically sounds good and there is no lights on . the check engine light is not on. the suspension since to be okay but i don't know if there is a bushing or something that has worn off. All I know is the there is no sound coming off from the suspension. As you could see by the picture there is custom pedal and carpet on the car. The glasses all are fined there is no sign of any crack. the car has tinted window.. the tires since to be okay but i don't know how to test them to see if they had alot of tread or not much but to my eyes they are good. only thing bad is the radio is not working
OK, since I'm getting ready to make the GT a 5.0 power house I'm back into looking for another sixer, but I have some questions. 1.) Why in the does the body have so many new body parts, if it has a clear record then there should be no reason for new body parts unless they're a kit, 2.) Does it have any mechanical issues, minor or major, IDK if it has so much as a slight grunt or squeek when you turn the car, I'm fairly interested and would like to know about them because I just dumped 6K into a GT for repairs, 3.) Is the car totally stock, or does it have a few slight mods, 4.) How much mpg does it get, my old 98 used to get around 27 mpg which is something I'm starting to miss with the old 5.0, and finally 5.) I see it's a 95, same year as the 5.0[8D], and I know that the V6s had serious head gasket problems, have you gotten the headgaskets swaped out for newer headgaskets that don't leak, or if you're a second owner, do you know if they've been swaped, this is critical for my decision.

1). If by new parts you mean the hood and front bumper, The car used to had a cobra r hood that was taken off from the previous seller and replace back with a stock hood, also based from what the previous seller told me it had a cobra bumper which was also taken off by him and replace back with a stock bumper
2) Mechanical issue- the car is 11 years old- the engine does not have any knocking sounds or leaking that I could hear- the air condition still works and it seems to be original factory air because it blows freezing cold air. Battery was replaced last year and along with the terminal and battery cables. The car turns right up when you tried to start it up. Engine wise it sounds awesome for an 11year old car with no big or small problem that I could noticed recently. suspension wise I haven’t check under the car so I wouldn’t honestly be able to tell you if a bushing had worn off or any other suspension part is about to give up. But based from what I could tell when I drive it no sound come off and it feel to seem that is okay. Transmission wise the clutch was replaced last year. At the moment it might only need an oil change and making sure is proper winterize for this winter. The interior everything works all power windows and power locks lights air condition, heat, with the exception of the radio. It look like it had a custom radio and then replace back with a broken stock radio.
3) The car engine wise transmission and suspension wise are all stock oem parts. The only custom materials are the clutch pedals and floor mats. But everything else is stock. Ohh, it has black clear euro corner lens and the windows and rear glass tinted.
4) Well the car is a v6 so definably it won’t consume as much gas as the powerful v8 engines. MPG- I really don’t know how to tell you this I had never paid attention to this. Beside I haven’t driven this car for the last 6 months – because it has been sitting half of the time inside my garage and the other half sitting in front of my house. So this is not my daily driving vehicle.
5) Regarding the head gasket recall – As I already stated I’m not the first owner of this vehicle so its complete history is not know by me, but based from what I see, and since I acquire it . The head gasket has not been replace by me and I was not notified by the previous seller either as I didn’t bother asking.
a. If you also remember there was another recall for the same year that had to do with the fan ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN- based from what I see this vehicle before I acquire it, it was taken to the dealer to replace the plug and install a cooling system circuit breaker unit next to the plug so maybe at the same time the gasket could had been replace or not but I’m not sure.
6) Regarding the driver side- since the car has been standing outside for a while and been primed and not having finishing the job yes parts are starting to rust a bid but nothing major the car still needs to be painted and re-primed to clear any rust surface and everything else it need so I wouldn’t see it as a big problem
7) I don’t know where you saw the 446k but I know is not my car if you thinking about the miles etc,
8) If you had any more question feel free to ask also you are always welcome to come and test drive it and inspect the car. Don’t just take my words see it yourself and determine your own belief. Have it inspected etc.,

Well being that I live in Louisiana Queens seems a little out of reach. Sorry about the gauge, damn laptop of mine made that one look like a 4, but I'm on a PC now, so I can clearly see everything. While I've very interested in the car I'm not too sure about the rust and the car needing so much exterior work. Because the rust may be just on the surface, but yet again it may not, also, I already know how much a full paint job on a car like this cost because my old 98 was the same color, so I know it's not cheap, plus the fact my GT also needs a serious paint resto, so I'll have to see if a couple of pro painters I know can do it for just a little money. Could you PM me with an approximate shipping charge to 79452 Pearl River, Louisiana. Like I said there will be no promises, but since the price is semi OK which I'll PM you with my offer we can work from there. Like I said, no promises, but I really would like another sixer as driving 500 miles a week is killing me in the GT with it only getting 275 miles to the tank, or just there about.

Also, the pics are a little rough, how many dents does the body have, and is there any rust in the engine bay along the fenderwell, because I can't really tell from the pics because of the dirt and dust buildup. Thanks.
