True story. My brother bought a 2010 Camaro SS after not finding the Mustang he wanted. He half entertained the idea of getting a GT500KR but was a little afraid of it.
I assume that all camaro drivers Just settled because they couldn't find mustangs

If i was you this is what i would do find a nice clean aero car, which you can buy way cheaper then a four eye car in the same condition, and swap the nose over of your favorite four eye. Some people look down on this but really who gives a **** its your car, make it yours and how you like it. Personally, i just like the look of the 86 nose while still having the newer moldings and interior. Just keep looking, eventually you will find something but dont settle just cause you want a car now.

And check on EBAY, i found my notch on there and my F-250, my truck i got a screamin deal on and they were both within 2.5 hours from me, dont be scared about going a long distance for something either, but before you go ask for pictures of EVERYTHING and make a decision whether your commited to buy it before you go to look at it. If the owner dosent take the time to give you pictures then obviously dont bother looking at it
EDIT: didn't see that post before me, do what he said though, you'll be much happier!
If you are looking to build a car, start with an aero stang and put a 4-eye nose on it. Everything about the car will be better. Build what you want.
Here you go. Just have to come to Philly and tow it home. Wasnt going to post this because I was trying to figure out how I could get it. Need to sell the vert in order to and that wouldnt happen fast so f it here it is. This would be exactly how I would go next.

Just have patience, I've been waiting for 6 years to find a decent one. Finally got my 83 GT with 43000 orig miles on my local craigslist. Drove it home for $1,800.
Life is short. 6 years waiting for a car is too long!
Well, my advice to you is just keep saving, and looking around, when they come available for sale, they usually go fast. Just keep saving, and make your goal to get a 5.0 HO 86 Stang.. At least where you live there will be less rust/rot compared to N.Y. where I'm at.. I did hear an 86 was for sale last month, but my budget is focused on my 2010 GT right now. I will keep my eyes open for something south of me w/ 4 eyes and a 5.0 HO under the hood for you!
I agree if you can't find one within 2yrs maybe 3 give up and buy a camaroopcorn:

Is that what you did?
Ya know that never crossed my mind..well i didn't know i could do it either, but yea. How hard is it to do that..the whole nose switching thing
Not hard at all, just unbolt the old bumper, and rewire the headlights and turn signals.

And the wiring is easy cuz all of the fox bodies are color coded the same way for exterior lighting wiring.
BTW, my 93 was a little more involved cuz I used the headlights and grill from an 80 Capri. But to swap a whole 4-eye nose is a matter of 14 bolts and unplug all lights for the bumper cover. Then the actual bumper may need to be swapped, which I think is another 8 bolts, if memory serves me correctly.
