Hey man, just a tip, with a little bit of work, you can get the door panels from a 11-14 to fit on it, like the whole panel, not just the insert. Just make sure you get the shaker ones. Fixes the door trim, and it make the interior more modern looking. Also to be fair, all of the interior for a 2011-2014 will fit with a bit of patience. Thats on my list, but rn im doing a full overhaul, clutch, throw out/pilot bearings, id like to swap her to a 1 piece drive shaft, new suspension setup because my stock ones are blown, not that they were good to begin with. 😂 Already upgraded the front to gt500 style brembos that you can pick up for cheap. I had a axel seal leak that i had to fix so i serviced the diff, probably gonna throw in a 4.10 gear in there in a bit too, i have it already, just didnt have the time. I plan on keeping the 4.6, too many people swap to the coyote, and really if you build her right, it will perform as well as any coyote, ive seen one with cams and a tune, with a gearing change dust a coyote. The 4.6 just gives it so much character.
It's the only mustang I like.It is fun to drive.Didnt know what that meant until I drove my 2008..I only bought it in 2023.16 yrs old and drives Awesome Love it.278.000km Motor is awesome no noises no leaks.solid smooth.I am 66.I feel 20 again lol
I daily drove mine for 12 years, got it with 22,000 on it, gave it to my friend with 92,000 on it, besides brakes, oil changes and pets I upgraded, the only problem I had was the gauges stop working starting with the gas, then tach, I changed the cluster and never had an issue since, super reliable cars, Not the fastest car for drag racing, but with a few suspension mods it makes a great car for driving on twisty roads with plenty of power to have fun
I picked mine up for $6300 3 years ago. 2008 premium 5 speed with 104k miles. Had a small dent in the driver door/fender like the door opened too far. Other than that it was in great shape and everything works. It was lowered, tinted windows and cat/muffler delete. I did the ford racing manifold, longtubes, Howard rattler cams, gt500 twin 60mm throttle body, jlt cold air, 4.10 gears. Car makes 370rwhp on motor plus a 150 shot. All adjustable rear suspension. I have a 19 gt 10 speed s550 but the 05-09 is by far my favorite body style and I definitely plan on keeping the car. Plan on giving it to my son when he turns 16. Got 4 more years just plan on doing some cosmetic stuff now. Want a Cali special front bumper. I’ve already got roush side skirts that need to be put on and a 3” cowl hood.
That Sounds sweet! If I was a little older I could have got one when they were cheaper but I can’t complain with what I got mine for. Cali special bumper is definitely the move too ! Your son will definitely love it when he gets it
Got pretty lucky with mine. Had a 2002 Duramax with 170k miles. Had an exhaust but otherwise stock. Best friend needed to trade cause he had a baby coming. Traded him the truck and 5k an got a ‘07 4.6 GT w/ Roush appearance package and 44k miles. He had it 6 months and bought it from the original owner. It’s SO clean. Miss the truck but I’m Very happy with ‘stang.
Got my 2007 mustang with 161k cammed,93tune,full exhaust,Shelby rims,coil overs,cold air,new coil pack. For 5k and still running till this day only had it for 2 months so far
Great mods. I got a 05 GT over the summer. I've had 6 mustangs. I actually went from a 2019 Bullitt to the 05. Not nearly as fast but they are still fun to drive. Mods are cheap and they are easy to work on.
Yep they aren’t super fast but man they are fun cars to drive and mods are endless. plus they are still decently cheap and easy to work on so in my opinion they are great cars to own
I’m currently in the process and of buying a 2006 GT Deluxe, it’s also the 5 speed and only has 43,000 miles on it for $13,000. I’m so excited to get it and to start modding it!
@@Moore.3vI think it’s a great deal as well. I’ve had some people try to talk me out of it because they don’t think it’s worth that much money since it’s not really a sought after mustang bc it’s not that fast compared to a 5.0. But I just love the sound of the 3v and it’s my favorite looking modem mustang and I’m not really looking for a fast car. Btw your car looks great man, it’s gives me a bunch of ideas of what to do to mine when I get it!
@@Austinmat10 don’t worry about what other people say, if you want one get it. The 3v is so much fun and people who hate have never had one most of the time and thank you, still a few things to come for mine !
Damn same my credit ain't the best & job ain't paying good. Really want one. There's a website on that mustang I want & an estimate with my credit & down equals to $20k for a 2006 gt premium 114k miles idk to much that's 7years to pay it off
Prices are crazy nowadays, back in 19 i bought an 06 w 93k miles for 7k, clean title accident free and the premium with the shaker 1000 kit. Sold it an wish i never did
It's a well rounded fun torquey good v8 to start out with, It's not as slow as the 2v where the 2v struggles to even make 300 whp with just bolt ons whereas a 3v can make 300 whp easy with cai+tune & some exhaust work. Just know if your looking for power on these just go straight to boost don't waste your money on fbo unless your ok with 340-350 whp pretty light chassis so your still walking a stock 392 scat pack which is impressive
I agree , I think I said in the video it’s a better bang for your buck to boost but I might have edited it out if not. FBO is fun but if your looking for a lot more power you might as well just skip it and do boost with the 3v.
@@TexTheMasterI’m about get some boss 302 rods send them get balanced and then some forged pistons probably Manley pistons and throw boost it’s pretty much fbo just need cams and boost should be good for 600-700hp with the pistons and rods
I got ripped off lol. I financed mine though. 15k for 132k miles. I don’t think it’s the stock motor though because it’s been running amazing for over a year
Sorry for the late reply I just saw this but it’s Not the worst deal I’ve heard of but definitely on the more expensive side for higher miles. I think it’s most likely the stock motor though because the 3v motor is super reliable as long as you maintain it.
$15k is a little over board unless it came modified it should have only been around $5k-$10k with over 100kmiles.. depending on where you live prices may vary but you can usually find them in a range between 5-10k if you paid $15k it should have atleast been stock with fairly low mileage even a high mileage modified one wouldnt go for more than maybe 20k i paid $3.4k for mine 100k miles but the interior & exterior are clean no wrecks paint & leather are still new taken care of well its driving good but im already changing little things on it over the weekends
Looking into getting one of these S197’s or a SN95, it’ll be my first manual car but I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 4 years now so I believe the shifting aspect will be the same lol wish me luck I don’t stall too much 😂
Yes that’s true but it does have more room than some other sports cars I’ve been in and my friends agree. If your not super tall you’ll be fine in the back seat lol
i recently got me a 2007 GT/CS for 12k. 75k miles. thing is so nice. make sure you address the water leak on these cars. it is the single worst issue on them. 05-07 specifically. i think they fixed it in 08.
@@Moore.3v yes. I would keep a very close eye on it. I didnt know mine leaked until i sat in the passenger side and my socks got wet. Just keep an eye on it because if it isnt happening now it will probably happen in the future. unless someone already did the full service to it.
Yes sir I have daily driven mine for over a year now and still do. Very fun daily drivers and I am not easy on mine so I can say they are pretty reliable and can take a good beating.

I think you made a awesome choice, this generation has so much more character and feels more raw than the modern ones. Plus you have so many options to modify it how you want. You’ll enjoy this car for years to come !
Hey brother that EVAP problem will eventually get so bad that it’ll turn into not being able to fuel at all {gas just spits back out of the filler neck, which is what I’m currently dealing with} BUT I’ve found a temporary workaround
Couldn't help but notice that you replaced your OEM red front seats with aftermarket seats... Would you by any chance be interested in selling them? As I'm in need of at least replacing my driver's side front seat... In the meantime, let me know if you might be open to selling at least the driver's side front seat and what price ranges you would consider.
Yes They are red , I’m not sure if I want to sell them just yet because I might switch back for road trips because the bucket seats get uncomfortable for long drives
@@antoniob8992 some 18s look good it all depends on how you lower the car and what tire sizes you go with. Overall I think 19s are the best size for these cars though!
Yeah it’s just a mustang plague lol and I think I’m just going to do the coverlay hard plastic insert, for sure nothing can sag after then and they look pretty good too.
They sit slightly lower but I think you’ll be too tall for these to be honest since you have to sit so upright, I’m not sure what your best bet would be since I’m pretty short lol.
