Ok and now the full story.
I got this mustang as a salvage car. It was “just” a low flood car. I had it for years and drove it like 80 miles. As soon as I thought it was good enough it wasn’t again.
Good memories working on it but I am just done having a project. That was never going to be done. At least done to me. It was finally in a good way and **** went wonky again. So I happily sold it to someone who wants to tear her down into something else. Good luck and have fun!
As far as I what I got… well ordered. It will be my true cheap DD and mile dumper as currently with my moms health I am now driving 800ish miles every other weekend. And this car brand new is stupid cheap. Then in a few years it can be my eldest first car if he has a job. But damn are car prices nuts on stuff.

Sometimes a mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do!
I hope you moms is doing ok, sorry to hear about her health.

I’ve got my 05 Mustang GT still. I don’t regret selling the 11 one little bit. It was a much better dream to rebuild it then it was in actuality attempting to rebuild it. lol

What is the approx value of a salvage Mustang like that? I will be needing a donor car in the near future. I need the drivetrain but not much else. Wondering if buying something like yours is better than chasing the individual parts.

Create an account so you can bid, and find a complete, running donor. I've used them several times for LSx swaps. Several guys I know have done it this way for Coyote swaps into older stuff and one guy I know bought a wrecked GT (it ran) and fixed it and drove it for a while as his daily. Then sold it and made money.

order one on 05May, dealer said it was not picked up by GM to be built. Put deposits on 4 others after that to have them sell under me or just simply not be there. Found this one fairly local and just got it.
I’ve owned dozens of cars and I think this is the smallest thing I have ever had.
