Today is our son's 16th birthday and this is what he got:









It's a 92, with an 8 plug 4 cylinder from a T-bird. We have no idea how many miles on the motor but it's solid. It was originally red but has a horribly done black coat of paint, they painted over the dealer sticker!!! For $1000 we feel like we got a pretty good deal. At least the boy is happy.

 

Sweet!!!!!!!!!

 

you guys are cool parents. I got a gift certificate to wal-mart for my 16th bday present.

 

Haha, badass. So when is he due to register on MB and begin the modding?

 

It's nice to see that you're raising your kids well. Haha...17th birthday should be a 5.0

 

Nice!! Yea Zigs I think I got a dinner at Red Lobster or something.
Tell him congratz on the stang and happy birthday!

 

18th is a Cobra right . Get him joined up and we will send him in the right direction. We know mom and dad has plenty of money

Happy Birthday

 

Thats awesome. Will it be his project car or a DD for him?

 

very nice, it looks like he is really happy and appreciative which is a great thing to see when kids are given cars by their parents.

 

Sweet car for a 16 year old! I didn't get my first car until I was 17 and it was a 92 Camry Auto haha

 

Thanks Everyone!!!
He is very appreciative and excited about getting started on the mods. As you can see from the pics there is plenty of room for improvment

It will be his DD to get to school and activities and a job if he can find one, they are sort of scarce right now and employers are not that motivated to work around school hours.

He is trying to think up a cool screen name to get signed on now but he's not real sure about being on the same forum as his mom. You know mom's aren't exactly cool to 16 year olds.

And if anybody gets a cobra, it will be me!!!

 

What.. No strippers? lol

 

lmfao..

and tell him this will be a good nite to join, as most of the other sites will probably thrash him for owning a 4 banger.

 

X2 This is the most civil forum I have been in. I haven't had a single V6 comment since I've joined.

 

YOUR V6 SUXX BUTT SHUDA GOT A V8888! LOSER!!

there. popped that cherry. lol

Congrats on the new stang in the family!

 

I hate this forum I'm never logging on again ever.

 

Just make sure when he gets it repainted one day he paints it silver

 

hey thats a sweet ride for a 16 yr old, and safe too i doubt he would be able to wrap that around a tree. nice buy. after that he will be able to appreciate a nice vehicle later down the road.

 

I think he needs parts from an SVO fox. I am assuming you can use turbo parts from one on this, which would be sweet!

 

It is usually easier to swap in a turbo coupe motor (forged internals, proper ECM, ect...) This was one of my first thoughts but a turbo 2.3 makes 300hp pretty easy and they are light cars. That might just be a little too much for a 16 or 17 yo. If he does, watch out mom he will be walking your s197 GT

 

well at least then he can get in on mom and dads street racing, it can be a family event, lol.

 

^^Lucky Bastard. Lol.




Hey RN, Can I be your daughter?

 

Sure I'll be needing a nanny when we get to Germany.

 

thats a great car to start out on.

is your son going to bring it to Germany when you go?
