Well the ol GTP was starting to get up in body mileage and i was wanting something new.. I put it on a Local Sales thing and sold it a couple weeks ago. Ended up getting 6,000 for it which was quite a bit more than book. Wasn't a drop of the money i had in it but still pretty decent compared to others.. It was a '99 with 186k on body and 20k ish on a solid tranny and engine. The new owner was already talking 22" wheels and underglow kits.. My poor ol car lol.. Anyways
Here was the last pic of her and the build video.. RIP black betty.

I really liked this gp. It is a shame to see it go. What are you getting instead?

I know the feeling and if someone offered me $6k I would be tempted to let mine fly as well.

She was a nice looking ride for sure...the thought of someone lifting it and fitting 22s is kind of sad.

Got something else cool in your sights?

I really wanted to do another mustang project. Almost 10 months after getting out of college i finally landed a decent job. I love The process of fixing cars up. I live for the mod bug as a hobby lol.. I picked up a 02 GT that is all stock. The 99+ cars had more baseline hp and i had already had a couple of the modular SN95 cars. Its Incredibly clean and has a color very close to Eleanore lol.. It is mineral grey with bullit wheels. I'm going to get gears and suspension done before i do wheels b ut i will have a clean set of Bullit Wheels for somebody on here in the near future lol.. Anyways i'll snap a few pics of the Pony Car in a little while.. It not as fast or half as comfortable as my GTP yet but it sure is alot of fun to drive.

BTw, If you look close in that blurry picture you can see my neighbors 04 GP. I love the interior and overall look of one those cars. My girl's car is on it's last leg. She wants a turbo VW but i'm gonna do my best to talk her into a 04+ GP so i can have some fun with it lol.
