Default Been doing some thinking...

Well ever since my dad said I should just get another Stang and swap all the parts out, I've been thinking that maybe I should do that. I could especially get a 96-98 Mustang GT since they were rated lower for power and the insurance would be cheaper since they aren't really valued that much at all. This would leave me with a 99 Mustang GT to swap the parts from to the other stang including the heads. That would pretty much put me right back where I am now...

That would also leave me with another engine to tinker with and possibly even put some forged internals in later on down the road. My question for you guys is, how much do you think my insurance would be with a 96-98 Mustang GT if this ticket stuck for the accident?

Keep in mind, I'm only 17 at the moment.

Ok, my insurance on my 99 GT was about $140 a month. What would it be for a 96-98 GT?

Shadows, please dont be stupid and pay 7 GRAND for a damn fox body. Yes, they are nice, but dont fuel these peoples insanity. The car is almost 20 years old, thats ridiculous. I could hardly get 7 for my car according to KBB. Do like you are thinking, and get the 96-98, they are sexy cars and would be absolutely awesome with all your parts. Dont forget, 5.0's are dogs, our cars are LIGHTYEARS ahead of them until you start throwing money at the fox, and im talking new heads, cam, and an intake that flows worth a crap. Stick with the original plan, and btw, glad to hear you are thinking with your head again

Yeah, I see where you are coming from. I just need to find somebody who needs some lower rear control arms since that is like the only part I can't swap.
