Well, after a long day on the road my new '94 is safe and sound in my garage! It was one hell of a trip, but after >450 miles traveled today in snow, freezing rain, etc I can relax. I have to thank Troy (yeahloh95) for going with me in these terrible conditions to get it. It'd take a small novel to explain why I spent my fuel system money on this car, but its late so let me sum it up by saying that I wanted a car that wasn't as wild as mine that I could just drive and enjoy. I also wanted another 94-95 because I know a lot about these cars and I have a ton of replacement parts for them.
Over the holidays I got to looking around the net at different 94-95's for sale. I was looking for a 94-95 GT that was high in miles and low in price. I had been looking in central/western PA when I decided to see what the Philly area had to offer and found this car. I wasn't looking for anything this nice, but it was too good of a car to pass up.
Its a '94 Rio Red Cobra with black cloth interior. Its also a non-mach 460 car which I actually like because it makes it rarer and lighter. I bought it from an extremely nice gentleman. He was the original owner and had ordered this car for himself back in '94. He drive it daily since getting it and racked up 153K miles, all the while leaving it completely stock! The only change he made to it was to add a ford factory alarm and a Kenwood CD player. I told him that he has more restraint than I as there is no way I could have done it. I told him I'd give it a good home. I promise that today's snow storm will be the last that this car will ever see! It made me want to cry seeing how dirty and salty it is, but I'll have to wait until it warms up a little and the ice and snow melt before I can get it all cleaned up but I'll post better pics when I do. Here's a few pics I took when I got it home. You can see the ice build up still on the car after an hour of being in my heated garage. Prior to this there was about 1/8" of ice covering the entire car.
Here are some pics that the owner provided to me prior to the sale. I'll take my own just as soon as I get a chance to clean it up.
