No offense but its beat and probabbly has rot and frame damage... Over paid.. and since its in the maryland area the guy may not have the title and after so many years of ownership you dont need the title in Md so it will make it harder for you to get one..

looks like it has potential, go pressure wash it immediately though, and check for said rust. i think you paid what its worth to be honest.

Great Deal!!! Dude my notch was in the same shape, except it had no damage. It had been sitting at my friend's house for years. He sold it out from under me in 2005 to some guy and it had 53,000 miles on it. The dude drove it to work everyday and didn't touch it mechanically. He put 9,500 miles on it that year and sold it to me for $4,000.

I bought it March of last year with 61,800 I think. Now it sits in my garage with only 64,000 miles, not bad for a year and a half. I've only put 2k on it, and 400 of those miles are from the drive home.

It'll sit like that most of the rest of it's life unless I get stuck and have to drive it.


Make sure to change the belt, hoses, oil, and give it a tune up




The day I bought it:













Glad to see you lucked out too

most everyone will say little bolt ons like a shifter and gears and stuff, but i go right for the engine, I got my 7up car about 3 months ago and in 2 days it will almost have a full h/c/i, lacking are the heads, but I would do a nice 373 gear and some underdrive pullies, then go find a mass air sensor out of a 94-95 gt mustang and swap it in it is a 70mm piece instead of the stock 55, you can actualy feel it gain with those mods, next go buy some nice headers, and some mufflers, pull the cats for now, but keep them because of inspection, and then go buy an off road piece that has no cats, and it will keep goin faster, then do a nice heads, cam, and intake package, and youll be good for high 12's!!

tune her up
use a heat gun to get the bumper shaped.

I saw that car a few days ago and I liked it! Just get the alignment checked and see if anything is way out of whack.

GOOD DEAL

Chassis, suspension, drivetrain, brakes, and weight reduction should come first, THEN the motor, lastly. All the HP/torque in the world isn't good for anything if you can't put it to the ground.

Good find! I paid only a hair less than that for my notch, and it was a total turd at the time with WAY more miles. I'm jealous.

I paid 2400 for mine. Minor body damage like little shopping cart dents. Runs great, 119k miles on purchase, interior decent, no mechanical problems, new tires. I paid maybe a bit much, but I haven't been able to find one in as good shape as mine was for any cheaper. I'd have had to go out of state to find one better.
