As long as everything checks out, this will be the donor for my interior swap.
The guy said he bought it at auction and seems pretty clueless, but here's what I see from the pics:
- 5 lug conversion (wow!)
- 94+ Cobra brakes with proportioning valve (wow!)
- adjustable caster/camber plates
- 94-98 Cobra wheels
- BBK elbow and conical filter (MAF and TB look stock, no?)
- Cobra grill insert
- 3G alternator
- LX tails... (It sure seems like a GT, but note the missing fogs too...could be a 4cyl car originally?)
- Lower than stock (?)
At $2,500, it will definitely be worth the money. I plan to swap my torn up raggedy grey interior for this black interior. Seller claims 140k miles. Apparently, everything runs fine and the car has passed smog. I'm sure there's more than meets the eye, but I don't really care. I care about the interior alone, and that seems not perfect but a great start, especially if I can complete the swap for $0 difference between purchase and resale.
If it truly does run fine, I'll have a little fun racing the 4-bangers at the local scene. Clearly, at some point someone loved this car and sunk a little money into it. The body (driver's side) looks fairly straight, but the door is not in perfect alignment. The interior looks pretty good. I already have some black door panels in nice condition. The dash and console look nice.
I know it's not a big deal, but I always get excited about the prospect of enjoying another fox!
A buddy of mine said you could tell from the steering wheel if it was a 4 cyl lx. Is that true? Any thoughts/observations?
