Used 2000 Ford Mustang Base

This is a cheap, practical, and fun sporty car. This car is easy to work on, lots of available parts, and aftermarket accessories. It can fit 2 large and 2 small adults, it also has a surprisingly comfortable trunk. It is fun to drive, own and look at. I was 18 when I purchased this car. Bought it with only 44K miles. Been down the drag strip over 75+ times, plus 10 or so from the previous owner. Being that it is a Ford I was very surprised with the reliability. The car currently has 102K miles and is running strong. I only had to replace a few things. The belt tensioner bearing went up and I was getting rear end whine. But as you can imagine from launching on drag radials, burnouts, etc. that is going to cause good amount of wear on the drivetrain. The stock T45 is holding up pretty well, but I do get slight grinding from time to time. The modular V8's Ford puts out are pretty stout. No comparison to the 3.8 OHV V6 junk they have from 99-04. The 4.6 is down on cubic inches compared to the larger LSx GM series. Despite all of this the motor puts out decent power. It has its minor quirks, squeaks and squeals, like any 100K+ mile car. Interior is plasticy but what do you expect from a $22,000 dollar sticker price car, back in 99! This is the poor man's sports car! I wish I could get a new 3V GT but house and family come first.
