History: This is my first car ever, and for that reason will always hold a spot as my favorite, even though my Mach1 keeps me on my toes and back in the seat. It started as a rental car out in Hawaii and slowly made its way across lower USA. It has been back up and down the east cost a few times before I owned it, and now its mine so it gets its chance to rest up as its stored in my only available garage space. Replaces about 85% of the moving parts in it and she still cannot be beaten on a nice sunny summer day, with the top down and music on.

Name: Steve Nagle
Car Year:   1997
Car Color:  Aztec Gold
Car Style:  GT COUPE
Transmission: T45 5-Speed
Plate: N/A
Modifications: Pro 5.0 Power Tower shifter, PI intake, Pypes Race Pro manifold-back exhaust.  17" split-spoke wheels bought on Ebay.  Interior accessories include billet AC knobs, rear defrost switch, headlight knob, and Rock Crusher shifter handle from UPR.  Other than that, it's pretty much stock.  This car is my all year round daily driver, so my focus is keeping it running in top condition.
Car History: Found on Autotrader.com in August 2007 and bought from a gentleman in Dutchess County.  Unfortunately, my car had a rough/neglected life before I bought it with almost 96K on the clock.  I knew Aztec Gold was a rare color going in. It was available only in 1997, and only 1,135 Mustangs were produced in this color- rarest color for '97... still, this one was very rough when I brought it home, and I started regretting my decision at first.  The car had a severe driveline vibration that turned out to be a badly worn front U-joint in the driveshaft. (We suspected a toasted rear)  I had done enough mechanical/detailing work on it (sidenote:  MUCH thanks to my father (former owner of three 5.0's and an '04 GT), always helps having a "master wrench" around when you're in over your head!) to make it presentable for the Lions Club show in Montgomery last October, where I met Steve Mottola and signed up to join the MCOC.  I've been putting this car back to rights step by step since August, and now the smiles per mile just can't be beat.  As I type this (3-23-08) it is closing in on 103K.  Looking forward to living the Mustang lifestyle and a summer full of shows and cruise-ins!  Its nickname is "Goldmember," and this is also my handle over at sn95forums.com.
