I have been looking for a new fox body with low mileage, and finally came across one that seems pretty descent and not all beat up (from what I can tell in the pictures). It is mostly original, but there are a couple things that were replaced - I just wanted to see if this is something that you would be worried about for a vehicle with mileage in the low 30s (original motor).
Replaced:
Serpentine belt
Heater radiator
Struts
New cam plates
Brakes and rotors
The only thing that I don't understand is why new cam plates would be installed?
If this is all that has been done to the car, I am wondering what else I am going to have to replace on it due to age. I know that my 89 had to have a few things changed out when I bought it with 7k miles on it.
Any help is appreciated.
Also does anyone have any experience with convertible tops - pre 91 compared to post 91? I had an 89 and the top leaked, although that was probably from the seals. It didn't seam to go down all the way when I put it down. I read that in 1991, Ford started using a different type of top.
