Hello! My name is Scott and I live in Michigan. I own a '96 GT that is affectionately known as The Great Pumpkin (hence my User ID). These aren't the greatest pictures, but I thought that I would share them anyway. I don't get alot of time on the net these days, but I'll try and stop by once in awhile to browse/reply/post messages.

Good day!

I also forgot to mention that I am a huge performance enthusiast. My daily driver is a Subaru WRX and I also have a Suzuki SV1000 sportbike.

Having a 97 GT it's good to see someone else from the that timeline. I never thought the Mach 1 wheels would look good on our bodystyle, I must admit I was wrong. I haven't seen many Bright Tangerine verts, do you know how many there are? Welcome to the Forum.

Thanks EVERYONE for the welcomes! Again, I don't get much time online these days, but I plan on making this one of my regular "Mustang" stops.

mustangfun101: Yes, I felt the same way about the Mach wheels at first. I had 17" chrome Cobra R's on it (click on my "www" button for pics), but needed a change. My wife was the one who said "go for it" and I've been pretty happy with the looks of them since.

As far as production numbers, I do know that 829 out of 126,483 Mustangs made in 1996 were made this color. 253 of those are convertibles. Needless to say, it took me quite a while to find one. I'm having a really hard time though, not selling it and getting a 2005 when they come out. But, more than likely, lack of extra cash will end up making the decision for me.
