Today's post strikes a particularly sentimental chord with me, as I was born the year that it was made and have always been a fan of...

...the Ford Mustang! Now, you may be thinking that this 1994 chile pepper red GT is just your run of the mill modular engined car (4.6L V8, for those of you who are not familiar with late model 'stangs)- but contrare, this rare early production model is packing a secret punch! Here's the link to the Mustang on Kansas City Craigslist:

This car, being early in the production cycle of the SN-95 body style, was equipped with the glorious (in the minds of Mustang enthusiasts, anyway) 5.0 HO engine. Yes, that's right, the same engine that Vanilla Ice had in his convertible...I guess that makes this special 'stang sort of a classic late-model. The seller lists various performance upgrades, as do most late-model Mustang owners, including "underdrive pulleys, BBK cold air kit, adjustable clutch cable, king cobra clutch, 3.73 gears, lowering springs, and the interior has alot of the Bullit accessories". Sounds like quite a lot of car for only $3900.

To be fair, it does have a fair amount of miles (over 200k), and in a sea of SN-95 style 'stangs there won't be too much on this to make you stand out, but that may just be the point. While everyone else dismisses you as just another 23-year-old secretary in a V6, you can floor it and show them who's boss. 

Speaking of Boss, this is about the closest you'll get to a new one for under $10k. A Grabber Blue 1970 Boss was one of my early dream cars. But imagining the number of tickets that a 19-year-old would accumulate in either of those two cars, I think I'll stick with my V6 for now.
