If I bought a 5.0 new, the only thing that would make me get rid of it would be an accident, theft, or financial problems. Other than that, I wouldn't sell it.

fox, that is kinda true, but a little run in with a certain eagle talon(you know who you are!) sent that car to its early grave. good news is i put him in the hospital, while i was ok. but the car was totaled

Since your the original owner I'd keep it...probably not many original owners of foxes, and in 5 years even less. If you sell the 03 gt you could get a cheaper car for daily driving or whatever. If money isn't an issue keep em both.

i guess now that i think of it, not to many mustangs like mine(or ours cause it looks like everyone in here has one like it) are on the road in a good condition. so maybe someday it will be a collectable? that would be cool. its not all that fast, last 1/4 run i got a 13.68, not bad, but not great. i dont really plan on moding it to much more either. so i guess i should keep it.

Looking for 10th Anniversary rims or 03 Cobra Machined rims with or without tires. PM with offers.
Looking to TRADE Leather Summit Seats (Black) for Black Fox GT seats (small headrest). The seats are MINT and I'll leave the tracks on them since they were redrilled to it the seats. The reason for selling them is I want to install a cage and the Summit seats are very wide.
