New Ride

[2007MustangGT]

About three months ago my 2007 Mustang GT got totaled by a distracted driver in a minivan:

This is what it looked like before the accident:

I put a lot of hard work and money into the car over a three year period. It only had 15K miles on it when it got totaled. The car was insured for an agreed value so I did ok on the insurance claim.

After buying it back from the insurance company and striping all of the performance parts I purchased a 2007 GT500 Convertible with 1,400 miles.

This is the way it looked two months ago when I purchased it:

The way it looks today:

On Black Friday I purchased a new 2014 GT500 blower, Kooks headers & catted h-pipe and a new McLeod RST twin disk clutch. Can't wait to install the new parts.

I hated to loose my Mustang GT but the benefit was getting a GT500. I should have bought one a long time ago. These cars have so much potential.

Thanks for looking...

Great looking 3v, such a shame.

Gt500 looks awesome now too though. I wish I had gotten a very; might still have my blown 06 otherwise.

OP - that's a great looking car. Too bad about your GT but at least you weren't hurt. Great call on the agreed value policy.

RS - did you buy a set of 2007 GT500 wheels and tires from me a few years ago? Your screen name looks familiar.

Nice upgrade

Haha good memory! Yeah back when Steelcitystangs was still live. I assume you still have that gorgeous Sn95 cobra?

My 06 that wore those wheels left about 4yrs ago. Ended up with a WS6 I flipped then a c5 which I still have. Added a 69 stingray and a turbo sn95 so the stables are full these days heh.

That TVS and the mods you are adding with it are going to make that GT500 a friggen beast!

RS - Glad to hear that you still have a full garage and that my memory is still good! I sold the '94 Cobra about 4 years ago to help fund my '14 GT Track Pack. Miss the Cobra for sure but the '14 is such a better car all around. Also have my '66 coupe that is stroked and blown - sure makes the '14 feel slow! I recently picked up a clean CO '03 Focus SVT ZX3 with the EAP for a daily. Fun little car! And a '66 Toronado is in the garage waiting for an engine rebuild this winter. The addiction continues!

Sorry to hijack but this is it I promise. RS - the Steel City Stangs site is now Steel City Muscle Cars. Stop by sometime - we try to have 2-3 track days every year. Lots of good guys and cool cars not far from you.

[Stang Lover]

Glad your okay from the accident. Great looking gt500 and awesome upgrade! I see you have a thing for verts.

 

[Sn95Snake]

Sorry about the GT. You made that GT500 look 100x better!

 

[Zemedici]

Both cars look very good. You saved the GT500 from the awful path it was travelling down.

Congrats on the new ride, good luck with the mods..

 

[adidasUNT8]

yeah that TVS is going to wake it up like no ones business. Mine ran nicely and surprised quite a few people. I'm glad you took those hood stripes off. One recommendation: window tint!

Sucks you lost your 3V but looks like a great upgrade!

Always have to upgrade after an accident. Good job

Enjoy.
