Looking at a 04 gt right now, might get it next week
did you ever buy it?
i might buy one soon too. did you ever end up getting it?
@@joshuaparsons3956 I'll sell you my 99 mustang GT For $1,000 the catch? Needs transmission. Car will pass smog, tags are current, clean title, no accidents.

A clutch quadrant is so worth the money, I went through 4 throw out bearings within a year and paid two different shops to fix it, so I bought the quadrant, cable, fork, firewall adjuster and pivot ball + a new throw out bearing and the only problem I have had is the bolt that holds the cable in place came lose so the release point kept changing, but once I got it tightened up and adjusted it's great haven't had any problems with it
This is on my 2000 v6 forgot to add this
I need to get myself a cable
Nice car dude and great video. Definitely gonna subscribe.
Go with ford racing throwout bearing. I used one that came with a spec clutch and it blew into pieces in about 4,000 miles. It's a 2000 gt so had to try and hunt down a bell housing because the bearing guide shaft was damaged and on 99-2000 they were part of the bell housing. It's great when a $50 part ends up costing around $1000 . I've owned this car since 2003 so yep know these dang cars inside and out.. Great Video and I'll have to get a shirt from your store.
Definitely have to look I through it!
I would recommend a hydraulic clutch conversion. and I Wouldn’t beat on the transmission at all. If you speed shifting at all and miss gears. Those stop points on the shifter are useless. Just be gentle on the T36 and T45s. They’ll last if you don’t beat them up
Nice Stang! Keep up the good work
My clutch does the same noise even after a stage 2 clutch and custom assembly. Still a work in progress but it's common lol
This is literally one of my "dream" cars. In my country, we got al the mustangs, EXCEPT the 99 - 04 mustangs. We get lots of 94-98 stangs and then the 05 and later on models, but these 99 - 04 models just didnt came to my country, so this makes them VERY FKING RARE. sadly makes me wanna cry.
Import one!
Dang man im sorry hear that sucks there's so much on the new edge ya can do. Can ya have one trans ported sure jt be alot more then the car worth. My i ask what country?
dude im sos orry i go on offer up and get violated by the amount of new edge muistangs for sale
@@Waxwizard760 lmao
but mine
My expectations on power is pretty low. Mostly because the most amount of power I’ve touched was 285hp from a 4.3 v6 sierra. I also have a 96 Chevy pickup with the 350 small block. But my dream car has always been a mustang and 260hp sounds perfect for me and I can still add more power if I want to.
Appreciate the info!
This makes me feel better about about the scratches on my rear bumper. At least my interior is mint.
So you're telling me your pull handles aren't ripped off your door cards?
@@user-ll6js7bc2o not in my Gt but my 2 v6 new edges fall off every time I pull on them
I have a 13 and 07 mustang and I’m looking in getting a 2v
Just picked up a 2003 GT yesterday love it👍🏻
It still holding up well?
Thanks this was very helpful.I don’t understand much about my car that I’ve inherited. You said something about the clutch cable?
But anyway thanks 👍🏽
Don’t really need a cable but a fire wall adjuster
Hello, I'm looking to buy my 1st mustang, so apologies for the beginner's question... What's that wire-thingy on the top of the hood?
I think I talked to you on safari all cars FB page... lol. I had the jacked up Mustang GT
I’m looking to get a 2000 mustang. I’m pretty excited about getting it. Any other tips on anything else I need to look for?
Love new edges
On the door put a bolt in it holds good do so it don't pop out when u close the door that's how I fix mine
do u have any advice for knowing what websites are legit for buying parts for an 01 love the vids man
American muscle and LMR
The factory headlights on a 99-01 are solid chrome with ambur corners. The 02-04 are black accent with ambur corners
Thats kind of what I thought
I just bought an 01 bullitt with 15k miles so it has none of these problems but I did have to do tires and fluids because everything was factory original lol.
i was gonna go for an 06 but now i might get an 04 as well
Don’t get a 06 piss poor car
great video bro
Dude we have 2 01s and a 2000, 1 Bullitt and 2 gt’s all have miles but we have none of these issues, alot of it has to do with how the cars were taken care of in early life. My Bullitt has 124k on the clock and the interior looks like brand new. Stay away from the beaters, you can find nice complete new edges for 5k. I gave you a thumbs up👍, keep them new edges alive!
I seen a 190k mile gt that looks brand new. All depends on the owner
I agree. Just simple preventative maintenance. We have had around 10 - 15 mustangs. We do not have these problems. I have been road course racing for 18yrs in just Mustangs! Maintenance! That one has been ragged out!
Can you replace the slanted shifter ?
Hey man, let me say first that I really liked how you presented the whole thing. Your level of concern shows as you go thru to the end on your vid! I'm currently looking at a 2000 for nearly 10 k. It's just bare assed GT. 99k on the dial. Any more advice ,? It's clean..
10k is alittle high but the miles are good and if it’s clean I’d say go for it!
Bro I’m looking at one for 9.5k with 42k miles on dash 2 owners?How does that sound
The clah chlaahh clhaaa never gets old 😂
hey i have a 1999 gt and i was wondering where you got the lip on the back like the little spoiler
You can get em on American muscle. They are the 03-04 cobra spoiler
1:00 we got the cobra terminator atleast, although a boosted 2v can run neck and neck with those
No they can’t lol
@@marlostanfield1087it can. I’ve seen 600 hp 2v. If you have a centrifugal and a good tune, you ain’t gotta worry about no rods pistons.
Wondering how’s the 4 speed auto on the freeway
I am thinking of getting this car as a weekend car any suggestions? I have a kia as a daily driver and i want to get this as a weekend car. I really love the body style
They are definitely great weekend cars!
Is 1999 64k V8 GT convertible worth $8.5k ??? Thank you
I am considering lowering my 99 GT from my channel and wondering what you may recommend for best ride and performance? I have an unmolested original that I have started to hook up with bolt ons. Any advice appreciated!
Hmmm I haven’t put any actual aftermarket springs on mine yet but I would recommend a good brand coil over
I’m close to getting at 1999 gt just not sure if I should looking to make it a project
If shes in good shape for the right price go for it!
Just got my car straight piped since my exhaust and muffler had a bad leak. My manifold is leaking, and these models are known for bad manifolds I believe. Should I just go for headers?
Long tubes are definitely worth it
Got one all red convertible with 109,000 miles I put a new water pump,fuel pump,themostate, straight pipe,Runs good.I don't car I love this mustang model if someone was to trade me a new 2021 I would say nah.And pushing 800hp.I love the older ones better
Gt500 of this is a 5.4 swap with a supercharger cobra R clone with a supercharger
Looking at an 01 4.6 L V8
Would you recommend installing a quick release ?
As long is its a good brand and not a ebay elcheapo
I have a 2001 mustang GT and it ticks when I accelerate could it be the belt or maybe one of the pulleys? Bearing worn out maybe pls lmk what you think 🙏🏽
A tick? Sounds like exhaust leak
Lol few months into my 04 I blew my throw out bearing into like 8 pieces
Sheeeeeeeeeesh
i have a 99 gt can you let me know where to find that part on the hood that is right under the window wipers the part you said tends to be real sensitive and breaks
Its the cowl vent piece. Amazon has em. Lmr. American muscle

I’m getting One next week
Stop bro I haven’t seen that profile pic in years😭 2013 ish
Dude not sure if I want to get a 99-04 or a 05-09 mustang
Hey I found a Mustang GT 04. Needs a transmission. Any pros and cons to having a manual vs an auto. My girl wants me to get an auto so she can drive it sometimes...I don’t think she wants to learn manual 😂 especially if I add PAs.
Its a personal preference. Manuals to me are more fun and gives you more control of the car. Cons of the manuals in these cars are the shift forks arent made the best but an after market shifter fixes that issue
Get a manual JUST so she can't drive it.
If she learns without you teaching her, she's not for you bro.
I need some help I’m going to look at a 2000 mustang convertible can you help me out ?
Sure
Where is the steering wheel from
Things I’d change on your gt.
Paint match duck tail spoiler.
Take off black stickers on fenders and black side vents.
99 cobra stock tail lights.
Fr500 18’ inch wheels staggered.
01 Bullitt rocker panels.
why dont you try cleaning it
Can't find the 04's in Florida smh
Where did you get that steering wheel at bro?.
LMR
I'm about to buy a really close friends 2V, Kinda nervous about the shifter because in all videos I've seen of POV driving them, the shifter seems to be tilted towards the driver. Is there a fix for that to straighten it out? I've checked forums and haven't found anything. It's my first manual car and I feel like I'm not going to be good at the shifter since it's tilted. (also, it has a stage 2 clutch so woohoo wish me luck)
Txphr u are going to love it dude specially the exhaust note that the 2v are know for💪🏼👌🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼
Dm me a picture of the shifter
I learned how to drive a manual on my 99 GT. You can do it
That’s how they come they slant to the left
a vise and some heat. or investigate the afyer market
I know why they didn’t make a GT500, because they had the cobra
What about mileage
Just got 2002 mustang got 4.6 L super charger
👀👀👀
Where did you get your metal intake manifold from ?
They don't make the full metal style anymore
@@ReaperGT best intake manifold and spark plugs and ignition coils ????
2v gang🤘🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Did you spray paint your alternator?
Sprayed the paint in a cup and used a brush
I know y'all talking about the mustang and people gonna say I'm outta my mind....but my 3V is in my 2001 f250 and has just hit 245,000 miles...and my brothers 2v in his f150 blew up with only 130K!!😆🤔 Just saying...you gotta stop and wonder when it's called a modular motor!! I actually just picked up a 2003 v6 103,000 convertible for an even G! Couldn't go wrong...a little body work and always remember...a coat of paint hides a lot of sin!!
I mean they did give us the terminator……woulda been cool to have the Shelby name attached to it but we can’t win ‘em all
I just bought a 04 GT
Where did the all metal intake manifold come from? Where can I get one?
There not cheap and very hard to find used. Look up the typhoon intake by professional products
Thank you!
Would this be a good first car? When im 16 i can work on it. i live in a dry place so no snow or any weather would damage the car
Definitely would be a good first car!
@@ReaperGT Thank you man. Take care
This will be my first car as well
Ah men of culture
Great first car . Not the fastest or crazy torque but it’s a great start platform and the motor will be reliable
looking at a mach 1 for 5k whatcha think
Not to bad tbh. Id look over it well
is insurance for these cars affordable enough for a teenager with a part time job?
All depends on the policy and company
Hey bro did you ever manage to fix your clutch rattle issue? I've had that exact issue since the day I bought my car early this year in March. The clutch actually went out the 1st week too so it was completely replaced. Well even after replacing my clutch and TOB it still made the noise. I did my research and heard what you had said about buying an aftermarket cable and clutch quadrant. So I went and got that installed. That helped the noise for a few weeks. It no longer rattled at red lights only on cold starts or randomly. However it ended up coming back about a month later. My car is damn near perfect besides that annoying rattle! I cannot get rid of it for the life of me. Ive taken it 4 different mechanics and they haven't been able to get rid of it. I'm embarrassed at stop lights and when starting my car. Please help lol
The throw out bearing issue is a bitch with these cars tbh. I went through 3 of em and can't get rid of em either
Had the same issue. Check your clutch fork and pivot ball. That's what caused some problems for my car. Don't get any aftermarket ones either. The ford racing parts were $25 for pivot ball and $65 for the fork.
hydraulic clutch upgradei had a beastly 99 with ever maderan great. after putting in the hundredth clutch. finally found my triplebhook qaundrent had a bad machined spots and was fraying cables😢dam upr knew thwy had a bad spot. they kept selling my clutches. then they asked me if I had one of their quadrants.never reimbursed me at all loyrrally bpihht 5 clutches from them. od never buy anything from them again
Im getting an 04 6v6 gonna swAp out. I might make a channel on the whole deal if snyones intrested
probsbaly gonna 5.4 it
My neighbor has a 04 gt should I buy it he’s in my family my grandparents have the car sitting in there yard he is asking 5 for it and it drives more than well x system exhaust not sure all mods ac and heat deal or?
It's if clean and runs good go for it!
@@ReaperGT he just doesn’t drive it since he lives 30 min away it doesn’t have rust or nothing my grandpa moves it every few weeks or so and it runs good
R these cars only stick shift or automatic as well?
They have both
I’m looking at a 2002 mustang gt v8
Just keep looking on marketplace!
I want to get this as my first car should I?
I might get it when I’m 19(I’m 18)
Definitely a good first car
@@ReaperGT great! another question this is a great daily right?
@@yoshiinasuit8160 if you have lots of snow its not to good but dry roads its a pretty good daily. I daily drove mine
Where do you buy your carbon fiber pieces from?
I dont have carbon fiber unfortunately
@@ReaperGT so I just got the car about a half hour ago. I noticed it sways side to side a little the guy told me I might have to change the shocks and sway bar bushings. That sound right to you? Also the clutch is EXTREMELY heavy. Any advice on that?
@@GSXR90 shocks could be worn and it might be a high performance clutch if it's heavy nothing to worry about
How many miles do these gt’s normally last
If well taken care of I've seen them go up to 250k
good luck with the blower install. they are pretty easy to get on these cars
Thanks bud. I've swapped the intake manifold 3 times so hopefully it'll be similar
@@ReaperGTlooking at mine there is no issue there that i can see.
Getting a 99 tomorrow
Big bet!
Getting an 04 mach 1 on Saturday with 21k miles
👀👀
Did you get it?
Just got a 2001 GT today!
Congrats!!
Ima just tell you now ,replace the whole front suspension,don’t break the ac/radio trim,you feel everything on the road,id immediately do a tune up.
Where u get ur spoiler from
American muscle but they are discontinued it you can get the same thing from magic drift
Buying one within the next 2 months 😈
You'll love it!
Did you ever get it ?
I went to picknpull for the vent and got it for like $5
Hard to find them that won't break while pulling
@@ReaperGT the passenger side one is the one I had break and I pulled it no problem, seen plenty of them. If I remember correctly it's only 2 bolts underneath just have to open the glovebox
@@johnithanswartout346 could make a video on it
I had a 2000 GT. Absolutely loved it. Most reliable car I’ve ever had. I now have an 05 GT and I kinda hate it
@Ghetto Mechanic LLC , why do you not like your 05 gt lol
@@Mrsilva94 its kinda ugly lol. I feel like the new edge was the best looking era. I bought my 05 because my 2000 got totaled and with the insurance money i thought it would be an upgrade an in theory it is because it had more power, and is much comfier inside but its not nearly as reliable or nearly as good looking
@@ghettomechanicllc3070 , oh so what is the name of the 05-07 mustang like the 99-04 is the new edge so whats the name of the 05-07 and I didn’t know it had more power than the new edge . I was told the new edge has mechanical issues except he told me the t45 is more reliable than the 3750 if correct transmission or engine . I heard the 05-09 was very reliable and you just have to do some mods to it .
@@Mrsilva94 most people call the 05-09 the “3v” but technically its called the “s197”. Lemme simplify it for you, all 1994-2004 mustangs are known as “sn95” however since they gave them an edgier and more muscular body in 1999 those became known as the “new edge” so those are all mustangs 1999-2004. In 2005 they introduced the “s197” mustang with its retro design. All mustangs 2005-2014 are known as s197 mustangs BUT here’s where it gets tricky. All 2005-2010 mustangs are known as “3v” mustangs because their engines had 3 valves per cylinder. In 2010 Ford redesigned the s197 mustang with a facelift, but the engine was still a 4.6 3V. In 2011 Ford came out with the 5.0 liter coyote v8, so all mustangs 2011-2014 though they are still consider “s197” they arent 3v. Some people call the “5.0” or “coyote” or some just keep it simple and call them s197. The 1999-2004 mustangs had a 4.6 2v V8 which made about 260 horsepower at the crank, ford claimed the 3v mustangs made 300 hp but really it was more like 280. A stock 3v will always be faster than a stock new edge but overall they are very similar engines. My new edge never gave me any problems (most reliable car ive ever had) i’ve had a few minor issues with MY 3v but overall they are both pretty reliable cars. I love mustangs because they are fast, fun, affordable and fairly reliable considering they are sports cars (muscle car is a subset of sports car) people THINK and love to say Mustangs are unreliable because theyre made by Ford but they are actually very good cars.
@@ghettomechanicllc3070 , this is dope how you have lots of knowledge about the stang . So my boy who had new edge stangs told me to stay away from the new edge smh saying that have problems. He now has a Subaru wrx or something he says jdm is better than mustangs and have more hp . He told me I should get a 04-08 G35 Infiniti because supposedly they are more reliable than American cars I am not saying that I like the 3v or s197 I think they are dope and with some mods can look so dope and mean . What’s your thoughts on what my friend told me about buying a G35 instead of a mustang smh 🤦♂️
How many miles can last with full fuel tank brother ?
A lot of variables that go into that . How fast your drive , how often do you drive , does the car have current issues. If you drive like a normal person you’ll get ok gas mileage. If you drive like a madman your gonna be filling up ALOT
14 g x 20mpg = 280 miles
what is your wheel and tire setup?
The fronts are shelby reps. Backs are sve drag packs

Resale value on this gen. Mustang so low cause so many produced no other reason. Stay away from the Pepboy mods. make it your own with $ upgrades
So he said, your intake manifold will probably go out. Your transmission is probably gonna go out (stick) and also the vehicle might leak water into the cheaply made interior of the vehicle. Shiit lol
Just stating the common issues. They are great cars and not all those things happen to all these cars but I've seen them a few times in groups and forums
Yea that s550 swap is based
The plastic intake manifold failures are notorious. Ford knew about it.
Just got a 00
Congrats!
Another y2k owner! Nice
That’s why they made the cobra🤣
Its not fords fault its american muscles fault, that whole company is a massive drop shipping website you can find the products they sell for cheaper everywhere
