Hey guys, finally got back into the game with another 5.0. After selling my baby 3.5 years ago I decided I needed to get another. So I searched and searched and finally found the right one.

It is a 1992 notch back with 155,000 miles and is stock minus the flow master mufflers (even has stock head unit). It has no rust, and I have every receipt from the day it was bought. I bought it from the original owner (who was a 60 yr old woman) and she kept every receipt including oil changes ( the size of the folder is ridiculous) she also told me no one has ever sat in the back seat and by looking at it I believe her. It has the usual problems of a 5.0, such as the speedometer not working (92 problems) the ashtray springs not working, and the center console not closing. I have already ordered the new ashtray door kit, and a new speedometer cable. I have removed the quad shocks and have done new fluids all around.

heres the Pics

Looks really nice but I gotta ask why did you remove the quads immediately with what looks to be stock sized tires?

Yeah,...It looks like a nice car, but it's truly not a "Great buy" until you tell us what a car like that costs,....(the real actual cost)
You need to request a formal review of your purchase.

Get an application, fill it out and send these pictures along w/ your entry fee to the following email address:
www. whatdoyouguysthinkofmynewcar.com
Then after careful consideration from the "Did he get a good deal" review board, you'll be notified via Certified Email of the findings of the board.
In order to be considered by the panel, please send 25.00 to me, madmike 1157 and I'll forward it to the proper authorities

ok ill make sure to take that into consideration next time im taking pictures, and you sound like my girlfriend telling me I take bad pictures.

I paid a 2300 for it plus she gave me extra cookies that were at her house. I took the quad shocks off cause there were shot anyways, she never replaced them and plus in about a week im getting a new suspension anyways so figured i had free time why not start now.
