New to the mustang world! Need help!

Tiny161092 · July 27th, 2007, 01:22 AM

Well i'll be turning 16 in two weeks...and we all know what that means

I get to pick some wheels. I know of two mustangs that look real good and I know a little about one of them so I need some help.(By the way I was raised on novas and camaros so I won't be used to the light cars lol) Ok here we go

1.2000 mustang gt
color-black (vert)
engine-don't know
condition-nice
price 10k

2.88 mustang 5.0
color-black
engine-boss 302
condition-garage kept
price-2000-2500

So guys let me know which one would be better to drive/HORSEaround in.

IMO go with the 88! I am sure alot more guys will agree with that! And welcome to the site.

tlr96 · July 27th, 2007, 09:01 AM

i think you'd be happy with either one. the 2000 would handle better and would have a nicer interior and accesorries. it would have the 4.6l 281 cu. if its a gt. but if i were you i'd get the 88 and take the other 8000-8500 you were planning on spending and mod it!

and welcome to MM!

Tiny161092 · July 27th, 2007, 03:27 PM

Alright thanks guys also if I go with the 88 my grandfather has 351w sitting in a 78 bayliner that I could probly talk him out of. Would that be a good swap?

Devilman · July 27th, 2007, 04:14 PM

351w Marine engine? It could be a good start depending on what you plan to do with the car. Plan on changing some stuff; but it picks up a few cubes for ya.............

Tiny161092 · July 27th, 2007, 04:21 PM

Do yall know what the hp and tq off of the 351w base?

Tiny161092 · July 27th, 2007, 05:52 PM

Tiny161092 · July 28th, 2007, 04:04 AM

alabama here. I'd go with the 88 too because gt = more gas money and convertable is just more things to break
