might buy - 96gt, 64k miles, $5900

spaseghost · July 31st, 2011, 01:05 PM

1996 Ford Mustang GT
so i dont know much about this variation of the mustang, except i hear they all need the performance improvement heads. im going to see if i can flat out trade my v6 for this one since the prices are about equal. im just curious on everybodys input on the car.

projectGT · July 31st, 2011, 01:45 PM

The outside is clean...not to found of the cloth seats and tan interior but hey its faster than the 6. And ur right they recommend doing a pi swap to enhance the performance

spaseghost · July 31st, 2011, 02:03 PM

i hate tan interior, and manual locks and windows, but it seems like too good of a deal to pass up...

projectGT · July 31st, 2011, 02:09 PM

I'm thinking about selling one for around that price with 96k black on black leather black convertible. I'm sure if u look around ull find one u truly like. Don't settle.

zdkel · July 31st, 2011, 05:15 PM

Very nice looking. Be sure to check the car fax. If I could do it all over again, I would by a mustang cobra trim.

Good luck with your buy.

southfour! · July 31st, 2011, 05:18 PM

if you hate tan interiors and manual windows i would give it a pass.

there is no point in buying a car just because its a good deal

97S281 · July 31st, 2011, 05:21 PM

Regardless of the condition I would pass on that car with the options it has at the asking price.

1fasts/c2003 · July 31st, 2011, 05:27 PM

car looks mint but i think $5900 is on the high side. i picked my 96 gt with 69k miles for $5000 mind you it had lots of work done top it, port and ported heads,stage 2 cams bbk lts etc.

projectGT · July 31st, 2011, 06:05 PM

I think after market parts devalue it wouldn't it

spaseghost · July 31st, 2011, 07:35 PM

yeah, just got back from looking at it while no one was there and its pretty gross on the underside. dont know where it came from but cars out here dont rust like that on the under side... oh well, ill keep looking. thanks to everybody though!

I agree..... I just picked up a 96 convertible with 96K miles for $2000 out the door (from a buy here pay here). Needs a little TLC, but otherwise runs great.

sharkbait · July 31st, 2011, 11:40 PM

These cars arnt bad. I didnt even know you could get a gt without power windows and locks....

That's what I thought! And it also comes with cloth. Is it a real gt?

OptionalStang · August 1st, 2011, 02:29 AM

sounds like a GTS

1996 GT · August 1st, 2011, 10:56 AM

I got my '96 GT for 1000, 177 kilometers, or about 108 miles i believe. It wasnt in perfect shape, but i put alot of work into it.

Walters97Racing · August 1st, 2011, 11:43 AM

I know its the v6, but i picked my 96 up for $500. minor body problems except the front end. it was in a low speed front end collision . Wasnt hard to fix at all , and the frame was still perfectly fine, perfect cloth interior and 116k miles

I agree, but i'd have to scan the car's vin to see if indeed the "S" part of GTS appears.

What exactly is a Mustang GTS? To make it simple, think of it as a throwback to the old Mustang LXs of the pre-SN-95 era. GTS' came standard with the basic equipment that made a Mustang a GT. Customers were able to order GTS' from the factory with as little or as many options as they wanted. Options were also available at the dealer, on request of the purchaser.

My 96 GT is without power windows and had cloth seats - I am the 2nd owner though so...

1996 GT · August 2nd, 2011, 12:11 AM

My '96 gt has no power windows, no power locks, no power seats, no abs, no traction control and cloth seats. Just like a real car should have.

sharkbait · August 2nd, 2011, 12:14 AM

Mine came with cloth seats but i had power locks and windows.

Also traction control wasnt inst installed into these cars untill 99.
