The most reliable car I ever had

My car was and I say "was" because I sold it almost three years ago, why? Not because I did not like it, I loved it! But because I also own two more Mustangs, a Foxbody which is a true classic muscle car nowadays, and a 2009 GT CS. My green 96 GT coupe had almost 300K miles when I sold it, and couldn't keep three v8's. This car was a dream for it had some few bolt ons such as gears, Accufab throttle body, CAI, Steeda clutch and cable,and better heads. Those little upgrades made it a revvy happy machine and it was really quick off the line, it would spin tires through the first three gears. It was absolutely the most reliable car I owned so far, i replaced the alternator, radiator, and of course, I won't hide I replaced the plastic intake after a lot of happy fast miles. The car handled also really good, the interior was nice and handsome, and the seats, definitely not good for such a car. I loved racing it and everything about it, so if you want a still affordable muscle car with a mix of modern and classic with go for them! The 4.6 engine is one of the best Ford engines. And although most looking for these cars they look out mostly for the 5.0 last years which were 1994, 1995, these 4.6 engines are as much as good and better to rev farther up on the redline. Hurry up for in recent months these cars are also going high on value along the Foxbodies..They might not look as good as a fox and maybe they look like all 90's bar soap jelly bean styled, but they are great!

I purchased my Gt october of 07. Excited as hell the first day in it i nearly crashed it. I bought the car from a friend of mines that worked at the for dealership and he bought it from another guy at the same dealership. The car is far from stock. Since I have owned the car I've changed the headlights, taillights, tinted the windows, lowered the car. I have also added the K&N cold air intake (great purchase) I have changed the throttle body, also added the slp loudmouth shotgun resonators which sound amazing, i have also put wider (275) meaty tires to get the car to stick, larger brakes, 04 cobra tranny, and to top it off i had the car paint purple/ black with metal flakes.

We have never had one problem (knock on wood) with our 1996 Mustang. She has been an absolute dream to own. The turning circle sucks and it's underpowered, but past that, it's been great. We've driven cross country twice and it's been great. Back seat is basically useless for people, but it's just me, hubby, and our cocker spaniel so it fits us just fine!
Very Dependable and Fun to Drive

I've had this car for almost 7 1/2 years and have never had any mechanical problems with it, other than regular maintenance. It looks good and is fun to drive.
Great car!

This has been one of the best cars I've ever own, and I've been driving 40 years. I put a K&N air filter on it and a Hooker Header Cat Back system on it a few years back. These 2 items really increased the horsepower. I also put on set of Boyd's wheels to dress it up. I just turned 59,000 miles today and everything is original, brakes, clutch, etc. There have been no mechanical problems and just regular maintenance. I change the oil myself every 2,500 to 3,000 miles and use Valvoline All Climate 5-30 oil. This car has been one of the best I've ever owned!
