It's a beautiful car.
The only thing I would possibly change is to throw a wider tire on there to help transfer all that power to the pavement. |

Yep i'm a wh0re for the old 'stang fastbacks too. Looks great. If only i could ever afford one, i would get a '67 Shelby GT-500 one day, the original or Eleanor both would do fine. But with the gas prices here (about 3x the price in the US), the insurances and overall prices of original Shelbys, i think i'd stick with public transportation and bicycle.

To be exact, they aren't really Shelby tail lights but Mercury Cougar tail lights which Shelby just snagged to his vision of the Mustang. ;) |

this car runs high 11's consistantly at the track, has built in a/c & heater. i coated the entire inside/underside with a spray-on ceramic, thusly insulating heat/sound. you can turn up the stereo all the way and not hear it outside. it has brand new suspension all around, all be it not IDR. power disc brakes, power steering.
only thing that isn't luxery about the car is no wpower windows. |
What exactly are 'POWER' disc brakes ?
Disc brakes are disc brakes, all operate exacly the same, the only difference are ABS fitted cars which have a reluctor ring fitted to the disc itself.
There are many variations as to type of disc, type of pad, how many pots the caliper has etc but they all work on the same principle.
I bet thou however due to the age of that stang it has drum brakes on the rear.
and the stang is prolly the best pic you have ever posted here in the CORe |

+1
Lucky it doesn't snow, does it rain much? I cannot drive a rwd here. Too much bloody rain and bad roads. Plus AWD > 1wd / 2wd |

That Mustang is completely badass, in 20 years it will still be completely badass while the vast majority of luxury cars rolling around today will look silly when compared to the current trends.
I'd take that Mustang over most of the new luxury cars today with the exception of a few offerings from Audi and BMW.
And I'm still very disappointed in you, Medina, for choosing the Infinity over the STI. You would have a lot more fun in an STI, though you would lose some, 'playah' points with your homies. I will say, however, that your Infinity is bossa nova and I like it a lot. |

1. :wtf:
2. it's all disc. i know the GTA's only came stock with front diskc, rear drum, but i don't trust the master cylinder's with the proportioning valve. thusly, i thew on discs on the back. and power as in power booster from the pedal to the master cylinder. the kit was about $1800 for the booster, cylinder, and all the hardware for the rear. |

it was complete for the most part.
it didn't run, it was the original paint, so it was faded and flaked to . the suspension was shot, all the rubber (gaskets, etc.) were shredded.
it was a piece of .
exactly what you'd expect for $500 :wtf: |
