I'm telling you Daryl, go enter that thing in a carshow! The stripes and Shaker will tip the scale in your favor. Those two were the biggest bang for the buck.

Okay, my turn.

You may not see much difference between the two pics because of the subtlety of my mods.

Antenna is missing in the second shot

Don't really see anything else, though.

Well, Mine will not enter a carshow, until I get the stripes painted on. I see too many small things that drive me crazy. A little wrinkle here a spot there and I got two chips in the front stripes where something has hit them. I don't think mine would have a chance really, especially being a daily driver. Already got a couple rock chips in the front fascia


It's amazing how much our cars have changed in the last 3-5 months

This was my second Mustang, a 1988 Saleen.

I kept this one all stock except for an alarm system and window tint.

I really enjoyed this Mustang, it handled like it was on rails!

Why I decided to trade this in for my next Mustang, I'll never know.

Please ignore the big hair, Varnet sunglasses, white sweat pants and my plastic Swatch watch.

Sorry, no engine bay shots for any of my older Mustangs... I've gotten alot better in taking car pictures now though.

That's about the only difference I see too!

But, my checking acct sees things MUCH different!

That Saleen must have been a pretty penny!

Hey, Swatch watches were awesome! As far as sunglasses, I had my Oakley Frogskins... (how/why do we remember this stuff?)

What was your next Mustang?

I got the Saleen for around $18k (sticker was around $20k or so), which took me like 4hrs at the Dealer crying and complaining to get the price down.

Back then, a new 88 GT was going for $13k to 14k.

Now I remember why I traded this one in... to lower my payments and get a new GT at the same time.

Why do we remember such trivial stuff? Because it was the 80's man! Like fur sure...

Stand by for my next Mustang...

This was my third Mustang, a 1990 GT hatchback.

It was Oxford White with black cloth interior with a 5-speed manual, of course.

I only added some mild mods on this GT. Alpine/Eclipse stereo system, window tint, Saleen short throw shifter, and a K&N airfilter.

I kept this baby for 6 years until I sold it for a minivan (that's another story).

That was it for Mustangs until we fast forward to 2006. I have to say, this new Mustang in my stable is by far the best!

My plan is to never get rid of this car. I will own others, but I think I will keep this one till it falls apart.
