I have several show cars and wanted my son to have his own show car. After purchase we spent the winter of 2007 / 2008 preparing the car for 2008 show season. My son turned 16 in April of 08 his first show was the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pa. where he brought home a first place finish with the car. Next was the Mustang Club of America International show in Canada where again it brought home a first place finish. It was also chosen for photo shoot and was featured in the MCA Mustang Times with a four page story about the car. Last show of 2008 was the U. S. Mustang National Show in Ohio where it again won top honors with a first place finish.
Since then the car has been limited use to local shows and cruise in`s always showing well and bring home trophy's. It was chosen in 2011 as the April calendar car for Mustang Club of America featured in their national calendar.
Fast forward to today my son is 21 and he wants a show car with more POWER. So I began a search for a Sonic Blue GT Mustang to replace the V6 car. But I am very particular as I was looking for another dedicated show car. I have found a low mileage GT so now the V6 is for sale. Now for where the car is today..
First off this car has not seen rain since 2007. It is near perfect inside, outside, under the hood and undercarriage.
I have remover all of the exterior bolt on`s that were on the car. The only left on is the Mach 1 stripes which I can remove if the new owner is not interested in keeping them.
I did replace the V6 front bumper cover and grill with a GT front bumper cover and grill so it now has fog lamps which look cool.
As you can tell by the mileage 41,525 the car was driven less than 10,000 miles in six years on sunny days only.
It does have four new tires on the premium cast 15" wheels with wheel locks.
You are looking at a real cream puff never race only used for show.
I also included a picture of the car with all the show parts.
Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.

I added a few more photos of the show days. We had a great time with it and as you can see we took great care before hitting the road to insure the car was chip free when we got to shows. This car has been waxed more times than you can imagine.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
