  • 1998 best bang for the money. - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I recently bought a project mustang. For those out there Chardon know you can perform an engine swap on a 98 with any modular engine. That means any 4.6 will fit. So I replace it with a 2003 gt and ever since never had any issues. The 98 is one of the best looking mustangs out there when it comes to attention to detail on its bodywork, parts are cheap and with a turbo kit sold for $400+ on eBay you can reach 500hp in no time and since a turbo is not pulley driven you will actually do better mpg. This car has no limits and interior design is the same as the 99 to 04 models. Best car for its price. AutoZone sells the 03 engines for $1700 with a 3 year warranty.cant go wrong.

    Great car...had mine for 6 years, bought it when it had a little over 100k needless to say i added another 150 k on it. Engine is extremely reliable as long as you maintain regular oil changes. Only bad side of this car is weather!!! be very careful in the rain and snow, do not drive over 30 miles an hour in the rain and park it when it snows.

  • The dream I never knew existed! - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I drove by an dealership & saw this black mustang that caught my eye. I asked to see it, the guys started it and i fell in love! The rumble beats a Harley & I can drive a car! lol This was my 15 yr daughters dream car and I had no idea until I heard that rumble there is no sweeter sound. She is fast and furious and is a great car. I had male friends want to race etc at my age lol so i got chrome that says "size matters" and put it under the GT 4.6LT on the side it looks like it was made that way and in the back window reads in vinyl "STEP ASIDE BOYS" This has been fun! Like no other car I have had! worried about the snow, heard they are bad in snow! This is a must have car! Its awesome!

  • Sweet Ride - 1998 Ford Mustang

    Bright red, lowered, custom exhaust, headlights, rims, was the best car I ever bought. I even had 4 trophies won from 4 differnt car shows I took her to. Then March of this year 2010, some moron pulled out in front of me. The radiator met the motor and my custom cold air intake splintered under the hood. I wasnt injured! They are built as tough as the look. I miss her everyday, buy one! You will never look back! :)

  • old mans dream machine - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Im 63 yrs young and Ive had a lot of different cars in my life. My last car got totaled so I went looking for a muscle car. Im tired of 4s and 6s. I loked around for about 2 months. I found my perfect car, a 1998 mustang gt convertible. Ive had it for about 9 months, and had a blast in it. It had 120,000 miles on it, and I havent had a bit of trouble with it. All my old friends ask me about gas mileage, I tell them I could care less. I give them a ride in it with the top down and they want to buy one. Of course they have to glue their tupees on a little better. I have trouble judging distances on parking so this is a great fit for me. I will have no other car than a mustang!!

  • My Dream! - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    im currently 16 years old. i have wanted a mustang since i was 8 years old. i never even considered anything else. and im glad i didnt.. i originally was looking at a 2006 black mustang V6 with an automatic transmission and leather seats but i ended up buying almost the exact opposite. i have a white 1998 mustang with a V8, a manual tranny, and cloth seats and i still love it. this car is everything a teenage boy probably shouldnt have. but i honestly believe that u can get yourself just as dead in a V6 as u can in a V8. this car is what i always dreamt of. i love the smooth shifts, the mach audio, and how i can spin tires by barely giving it any gas at all. this car has the power!

  • Love my Stang - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have owned a few Mustangs over the years, but the 96-98s are my favorite. This is my first GT and I love the 4.6 liter powerhouse. It has a nice rumbling exhaust and is very quick! This Mustang GT gets 24 in town and close to 30 mpg on the hwy... not sure why edmunds only says 15 cty and 24hwy... any way the car handles great accelerates quickly and is just fun, fun, fun!!!

  • Awesome Vehicle - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I can pretty say this is the best vehicle I have owned thus far. Ive killed potholes, ran into snowbanks, and this car just wont bend, except for a little exterior damage. Cruise control just went out last week, but for 200k miles, its about time something did. So far, that is the only thing other than routine stuff that Ive had to replace. Stock sound is awesome, road noise is quiet until about 60, suspension is not quite as stiff as many say, and the backseat is just perfect for the poodle. Overall, fantastic racing vehicle, not so great for family time or winter four-wheeling.

  • Great Car - 1998 Ford Mustang

    This car is the best car I have ever owned. It runs great and gets great gas mileage. The car currently has over 160,000 miles and is still running strong. I would recommend anyone who loves to drive to buy this car.

  • I miss this car - 1998 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I really miss my car. Someone just hit and ran me in a head on collision. It looked like a small fender bender but after the mechanic looked at it they said the bar the transmission is attached to really bent. Making this car totaled. I am so sad. I loved it. Bought it new and drove it for 10 years. Would have lasted forever had this not happened. And it was beautiful. I like it much better than the newer models. Sad, sad, day for me.
