He bought his first car yesterday, I looked at (and drove) it today. The car is a '98 Mustang GT that has had a ton of work done to it. Bunches of new (very hard) suspension parts have been installed and the thing handles like it is on rails! Seriously. The clutch is quite heavy and there was short throw mod done by the last owner (a 60 year old man). It shifts and rides beautifully. The car has literally zero rust anywhere and there is only one dent on the entire car! It has some minor engine work done, new exhaust installed, and 3.73 gears were recently swapped in too. The interior is mint except the drivers seat foam is getting flat so I'm trying to get my brother to save up for recaros or something like that. He is looking for new rims because the stock GT rims are really looking outdated. The new ones would be for summer tires and the stock rims would be for winter. He got all of this for less than $3000. Deal of the century haha. Oh, he doesn't get his license till the spring

Neat, here's my friend's '99.

For rims, first thing that pops up are Torq Thrust rims like this, classic Mustang rims:

Yes! My dad and brother are going to go look at Bullit rims they found on CL.

There's all kinds of great rims and light swaps and such for those. I miss my Mustang.

Great first car, especially with how well it was taken care of. May he enjoy it for years to come!

$3000? That is absurdly cheap. Like 1990s used car prices.

Cough less than that... by several hundred

It has so much power... I'm honestly worried he will wrap it around a tree. I had to teach him today how to drive a manual.

Holy shit, that's a lot of car for a good price! I agree with you, slap on some new wheels and that thing will look great.

damn.. he is going to wreck it. Implore him to to make sure he does it when only he is in the car. Very nice ride. Those late 90's 4.6 GTs sounds awesome.

Cool! Looks pretty nice. It always amazes me on how much of a bargain these are. Just make him promise he won't do this to it:
