Hello from ohio, picked up a 2017 GT basket case last September. Dealership was going to put it through auction I begged them not to an offered to buy it as is with Contingencies. Long story short it would not start and had no dummy codes stored for lazy techs at a very large dealership to figure out what was wrong. I Said as long as it passed a compression test I'd buy it. It passed with flying colors. So I paid practically nothing for the car. Walked across the street to O'reilly's grabbed a $37. Crank sensor walked back over popped it in 30 minutes later and it fired right up an I drove her home I got a boosted 5.0 for less than a fiesta because over paid techs at a new car dealership were too lazy to do basic diagnostics. I'm not even a mechanic I'm a body man lol. I heard the manager yell " you've got to be f@&king kidding me" when it started up. I've always loved mustangs I had a 92 fox body 5.0 as my first car that wish I never sold. This forum is full of a lot of great info that has saved me headaches. So thank you!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Mike. I've been lurking and learning over this past year. May 5th of 23, I got my hands on a 22 Ecoboost Prem with HPP package. Aside from tint and ceramic coat, I haven't dug into the mods yet, but I have some ideas that will eventually happen. When that happens, I will share accordingly and hope to offer up my own experiences as I go.

Back in a mustang after 3 and a half years in a jeep. Looking to do some mild track racing with a new to me Mach1.

Hi all,

Just got a 2019 Mustang Bullitt US model 2 weeks ago. Living in Europe, and already managed to set the radio to EU frequencies and get the EU navigation maps in Sync3. The car has only 20000 miles on it so not much I will have to work on.

I do still have 2 Ford Probes (1997 GT/24v and 1995 SE/16v) of which one I still use as a daily driver. Always worked on them myself and I guess for the Mustang will be the same.

This forum seems very useful with a lot of interesting posts!

Sincerely,

Wim

Post some pictures of the Probes. I always wanted one when I was a kid.

Here you go!

That is the 1997 Probe GT/24V. Original 2.5 V6 engine with 460000 km and still little oil consumption. And the Mustang Bullitt as well.

Ford was going to replace the Mustang with the Probe.

Very nice. Rarely see them anymore. I always check them out when I'm at Ford Nationals which is actually coming up in a few weeks.

Thank God that didn't happen.

 

[BlkMach10510]

Thank God that didn't happen.

Exactly. If I remember Caroll Shelby talked to Ford to help save the mustang.

Yes, indeed they thought about that but just good it stayed just a Probe. I did always also wanted the own a real Mustang so at least now I got that. But the Mustang is just for the summer, the winter my Probe will still get me everywhere. But for sure the Mustang is of a different category! The other Probe is also still running but stowed away in a dry place...

Thanks for the pics, great ride. We miss our 1997 Probe GT, as though we lost a family pet. :(

Hello All,


I just joined the forum, but have been lerking and reading daily for the past two years. In 2022, I bought a used 2020 Shadow Black Mustang GT PP1 w/ a manual transmission and the Show Stopper Red interior. I had a 2003 V6 Mustang with a manual transmission that I traded in on my first Edge in 2010. I always said I would get another manual Mustang and it would be a GT.

I decided it was time to make that happen in late 2021 and started looking. Never intended to get the PP package, but so glad I did now! It is just a fun car to drive! Now I am finally starting to buy some simple upgrades, so it was time to join.

Looking forward to learning more from the community here!
