I found an 25th Anniversary SSP for $17k at a Lincoln Mercury dealership that still had the build sheet on the window. Black, grey interior with the 25th badges. The delivery info was for Troop B of the New York State Police. It was a 5 speed which I thought was unusual. I don't know what happened to the car, it wasn't there very long. Interesting fact~ the USAF used a Mustang LX Notchback and a 350 Camaro as chase cars to assist U2 pilots land on the runway. As the U2 came in the chase cars had to be doing at least 120mph and follow off the left and right wings about 50 yards behind.

Hello Scotty, Hope all is well with you and your family! I have been a long time viewer and truly enjoy watching your videos: educational , funny and informative. I need your help. As you can see by the picture provided, my Traction Control (TC) and TPMS lights go on. At times the TPMS blinks (TC is on as well when this happens). I lived in the southern California desert, there are only 2 Mazda dealerships within a 1.5 hr drive from me. Their fees to diagnose these lights is $300+ (makes no sense). The lights come on at odd times(driving, parked, etc.). I have taken it to a local AutoZone and O'Reilly and they cannot pull the code. I hope you can provide me with some guidance as to how to fix this intermittent issue. It is the first issue I have ever had with this vehicle, it is truly an unstoppable family car. Thank you for your time and help! I appreciate any help you can provide.

My first car is a 2000 Mustang. Sold at 185k and still running strong. It has the most user-friendly ways of making modifications. The headlamps, for example, are held down by 2 L shaped brackets which is a brilliant design. Way better than the modern cars which held down by screws. Missing it now.

I have a 2002 GT, I worked in Hollywood at Post Group Studios. I bought it through the motor pool, they handed me a form where I got to select the build I desire. Sonic Blue, 4.6 Automatic (Disabled Veteran ,left shin held together with stainless steel and 30 screws so couldn't deal with a clutch) Ford Motor Sport headers, flow master 40s, every custom feature available). I had to wait a month for it to be assembled. One day I get called to the front office, my car had just been delivered. A pretty girl handed me the keys. My boss got in the passenger seat, told me we are cruising Sunset Blvd. Still have it, was going to trade it for a new one. Their mechanic pulled me aside and told me to keep it, it was the last year they made the "notch back" and it's a collector classic. I'm constantly challenged by runners!😎

The real options were: '99-'04 GT = 4.6 SOHC 2v v8 (260/300) '00 Cobra R = 5.4 DOHC 4v v8 (385/385) BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ONE '99/'01 Cobra = 4.6 DOHC v8 4v (320/317) '03-'04 Cobra = 4.6 DOHC v8 4v supercharged (390/390) The Mach 1 was about the same as the '99'01 cobra but had a live rear axle.

Very basic car with a V8 in front of you. No gimmicks, no traction control, no driving sensors, no heated this or that. It’s a fun car, not a comfortable car. And it’s a lot easier to fix and work on than the new Mustangs.

The car has performed well despite not changing the fluids at the proper intervals (engine oil was changed on schedule though). I just finished a radiator flush today and you might interested to know that the original thermostat still works - but I replaced it anyway. Optionally, I upgraded the halogens to LEDs as well as the dash lighting was upgraded to LEDs and the courtesy lights were upgraded to LEDs also. The car just turned 70,000 miles.

Mothers mag and Aluminum polish and a foam pad is all you really need.

Can buy brand new tinted OEM headlights for a few hundred dollars. Will have to shop around but is worth it.

[@theroyalcrownedtiger2946]

Theres different ways to have the headlights clear up well, the question is which method works best for long term lasting results. I have done with the wet sanding method before, then use the buffing / polishing wheel, with the polish cream, not sure if it's the best, but it seems to work.

I love my 4.6L modular Ford's. I hear all kinds of gripes about the 5.4L, but I've had nothing but great experiences with the 4.6. I've had 2 F150's with one. The first one ran well over 200k without ever being taken apart. My 2nd one is in the 2006 F150 in my driveway with155k. It's my daily and still runs strong. Stupid stuff keeps breaking on the truck now because it's getting old and I live in Pennsylvania where the weather destroys vehicles, but the motor and trans never gives me any problems.

My 2000 Mustang NottaGT with the V6 and automatic transmission has been in the family since new, I have driven it about 9 years myself. 150000 miles, never broke down, worst repair was crack in water pump. The plastic vent “cowl” below the windshield has deteriorated a little, and the haze on the headlights I haven’t bothered to restore. Oh yeah, once had to replace gas cap, and finally a few front suspension parts around 145k miles. That’s all, everything else was normal consumables, and all parts of the car continues to work great except the radio - now I use Bluetooth speakers 🔊

[@s.j.5850]

Had to tell you about my experience with a 1995 Ford Mustang with the 5.0 (302 C.I.) engine. The car was so light in the rear & with so much power from the engine you could easily spin the rear tires when making a turn if you weren't careful. It also could not make it up any grade with ice & snow on the road. These are things they failed to mention in the reviews before I bought the car. I am glad you are not afraid to tell it like it is.

[@EjinRenos]

But they don't spin outta control like the videos you see unless you're too bad at driving. Used to slam thru the gears in the rain at a light at night in my 97. Got it up to 90 in 3rd, would let off the gas and would really be doing like 45 and still going straight. Of course once I got good tires it was a different story.

Bought a 2000 3.8 litre V6 Mustang, it's my first vehicle. 96,000 miles on it but it's a nice cruiser and has no issues. Hope I can get it past 150,000 miles. The new edge mustang has its flaws but it's still a good car all around. Funnily enough my base model mustang in 2000 was $17,000, I paid $4,200 in 2020 and thus I became the second owner of a new edge.

I own 2 of these cars- an 03, and an 04 respectively, both GT. owned mustangs for about.. six years now? I won’t say it’s the most reliable thing out there, but I will say as long as you change the oil regularly and make sure your fluids are topped off, most of the work I’ve needed to do on these cars I could, and have, done by myself. So user friendly and spacious, even with a v8 under the hood. Plus, a side effect of the cheapness of the interior and way ford uses interchangeable parts to reduce overhead cost, everything on these cars is really cheap to purchase, and really intuitive to do work on. That, and if you don’t like cheap and fast, there’s a huge community of people making aftermarket replacements for just about everything in the SN95. Though, something I will say for anybody thinking about buying this kind of car and not knowing what they’re about to get into, keep a spare serpentine belt in your car with the appropriate ratchet size for your belt tensioner. That belt likes to snap after awhile. Overall, give these car the literal minimum amount of care and attention and you’ll have yourself a car that’s gonna do what YOU ask it to, no questions asked; just be careful what you ask for.
