New from IL

Don't have the pony yet but should come next Spring. Been a Mustang fan for as far as I can remember, and have been lurking here for quite a while, just never registered. But I figured since I'm finally getting the car I should settle in :P

Anyway right now I drive a 2000 Grand Am GT and a 79' Trans Am. The GAGT should be getting replaced by the Mustang come Spring.

No unfortunately its got the econo V8, the Olds 403. But shes a prime candidate for a 400 or 455 swap Or just some major work on the 403. But even so she can still get up and go. And as of now its still completely original, except for the exhaust which had to be done. The car has about 70k on her.
