a lot of F-Body to Lightning trades . . .

98 Trans Am WS.6 Convertible ---> 01 Lightning

 

I am still trying to sell this..............anybody??????

 

I had a 1988 T-Bird turbo coupe that was my winter beater - so the Cobra could stay parked. The T-Bird got hit a few times and I kept saving the insurance money. The last time it got hit, I had the whole car redone and then sold it - which was the down payment on the Lightning. Not bad since the car paid for itself, and I got a decent down payment out of it.

this is an interesting thread!....


85 GT > 89GT > 91LX > 92LX > 92LX Cntv. > 93 GT > 98 RAM SS/T > 01 Lightning...

sorry about the dodge everyone, i know this is a sore subject these last few days!...lol

 

Traded a 2001 Acura CL Type S, the best move I've ever made.

 

I haven't purchased a L yet... And may not but I am seriously considering it. Having said that, I recently sold my '01 F150 Harley Davidson. I am currently carless. It didn't hit me until the morning after (gee, that sounds familiar...) but I haven't been carless since my freshman year in college back in '89... Anyway, one of the benefits of living intown in a metropolitan city and working less than a mile away from home, I haven't missed it yet. My girlfriend has her car so she lugs me around... I don't think she's very happy... She told me something about a blood oath between she and her friends on how they will never date a carless bum or something, but I was too busy going through her purse for some change to get me my next 40...

 

I sold my '99 Roush Mustang early last year to buy my '92 GT. The Roush was a Stage 2. I later added Baer brakes and a Vortech S-Trim. That was a fun car, and at times I do miss it.

After a few months of modding the '92, I decided I really wanted a Lightning. I had ordered a '99 when I decided to get the Roush Mustang instead...

As for previous cars, it's all Mustangs - '65 GTand '91 GT. For now, the Lightning and Mustang share the garage!

 

96' Neon R/T (daily driver for college)-->95' Trans Am (20k on OD)

The only thing I miss is the small car zippiness of the Neon, don't laugh, and the neck snapping shifts of the TA. Oh, of course the T-Tops, and killer radio. L factory radio

 

I traded in my '98 Cobra. And just when it was starting to get fast. For what I put down on the L, I could have been running 10's in it.

 

Sold this:


For my Lightning. The Lightning has a, um, bigger towing capacity.

 

2000 exploder sport 4x4. Owed almost most I paid for it and took a BIG hit when I traded it for my L, but I got over it quickly.....Now if I could just get over these payments quickly........

 

Didn't give up anything. Just added another "toy" to the garage.

 

Quite a few former/current Cobra owners here.

I traded my '97 Cobra in on my L. I probably shoulda sold it instead of trading but, oh well.

I do miss it though.

 

RDY2RAC did the same thing. He was supposed to wait a year so I could get a new car first (a family car). Then he found out he didn't have to wait to be eligible for A-plan. It was ordered the next day.

 

Traded a 1998 Jeep Grand Cheerokee 5.9 liter 360 limited, for the "L". Miss the Jeep somtimes, but I love the "L" even more.
