I know i havnt even finished my 93 yet but couldnt pass it up..... It needs a new motor no big deal, ill just put a new one back in there and leave it stock.....





This is what i need to do; im looking for an automatic tranny for this car. I will trade my 5 speed to any one that has an automatic. Or if you have one for sell please let me know as i will buy it..... I know, i know what am i thinking???? I dont have a left leg and a manual does me no good... So if you can help me find an auto for my new peach i would lub ya to death!!!!

If i remember right it has 85,ooo miles on it. Im not sure as i just stick it into storage. He also has a 84 gsl-se That runs but has a rusty body. I might buy it also as he only wants $400.00 for it..



I wont touch this car till my 93 is done this winter and i have to put my smoky and the bandits addition 81 turbo ta back together i just picked up. I got it from the same guy also very cheap. that was the car i went to go look at when i spotted the sevens... I had to buy the ta to make the better half happy as it is her dream car and i made her get rid of our 95 mustang gt.. Ya for getting rid of that turd stain..
