Ford built a ton of Mustangs. And a lot of them didn’t meet our needs.

For this SCCA Club Spec Mustang build, we needed a 2005-’09 Ford Mustang GT. Hardtop. With a stick shift.

I have found the same with prices, $10K - $12K seems to be the bottom for a decent example. High teens are the norm, while there are single-digit cars out there with higher miles. Might be worth taking a chance on a higher mileage, stock, clean car as the motor seems to be pretty robust.

I'm not one for Mustangs. (I'm actually a Camaro-guy.) But this class intrigues me. Rear wheel drive, manual transmission, makes V8 noises. Can unload it pretty quick when I'm done with it. And basically everything you can break is available at Rockauto.com. it's a compelling proposition.

I paid $9k for mine, bone stock, very clean, but 100k miles and in need of a suspension refresh and new tires, which it has since received, along with a tuneup and general maintenance update. Kicking around selling it in the spring, I was hoping to get around $11k, but based on what you guys paid, that may be a bit optimistic.

$11K with the work you have done seems like a GOOD DEAL for someone
