Neither are the best pictures but this Stang lives around the corner from me and they never put it in the garage. They have 3 cars - a 2 car garage empty and don't put any of them in the garage. Drives me nuts. Any idea what year and or type of Mustang this is? I don't think you can zoom in on the one shot. I can try another shot on the way home closer. Didn't want to hang out in front of their house as I don't know them. TIA







I know not the best photo's but?<br/>

My first guess is around an 07-08 year model, V-6, based on the color.


Drives me nuts too to see empty garages and cars outside. We have a three car garage and the three convertibles park inside. The '05 Saturn parks outside. We hope to build a 2 car detached in a couple of years so it will be inside too.

You have a beautiful GT. I love that shade of blue. But my husband said if he was buying me a Mustang it would have to be red as that is his favorite color and I was ok with it seeing as I was getting the car. LOL. We can fit 2 cars in our garage. When we store the Mustang we will keep our Buick in there - but now in the summer it does sit out only because it is such a tight fit - you have to pull the Buick out to get into the Mustang. But usually we try to keep both vehicles in (if we aren't using the Mustang for awhile). The pick-up we have sits in the driveway or on the street. But its crazy to let a nice Mustang and their other 2 vehicles are newer and nice sit out when the garage is empty. Scratch my head - what is the thinking there. Thanks for your thoughts - so would that be considered what type of body? Not a Fox but a S type??

In decent shape and decent mileage - I don't see it driven very much what would the value be to purchase. Just curious. I was joking and told my husband to go down and make an offer and it could be his mustang.

Nice gift for yourself - do you love your Quads? Ours go on Wednesday. I can hardly wait. I am thinking if I can get a fellow co-worker to cover for me - I will go along with hubbie to The Ring Brothers (who are swapping out the exhaust) I want to see the car they are building for Jay Leno that is in the shop now and just chat with them. I haven't seen them for a long time. I don't see much side of my mother-in-laws family too often. They are her nephews. So that is at least for now the major mod for the GT.

I love the quads on mine. Mine are the Ford Racing units off of the '13-14 GT500's. Cruise is quiet, but much nicer sound when you step on it. Of course now some of that sound is covered up by the blower at full throttle.

That year V6 is not necessarily the most desirable Mustang. The 4.0 SOHC engine was pretty reliable, and it most likely has an automatic (5-speed on 05-10). Not only that, it's a base model, so cloth seats, no Shaker stereo etc.

If you guys want a second Mustang, let us know your budget and what you're looking for!

+1, that orange color was only available those two years. Also, the wheels are obviously the 16" wheels only found on the V6 models.


Single exhaust also says V6.
