New Project Car

Wow,....appreciate all of the replies,...but clearly there is a propensity here that "don't know me very well" do they?

I'd be willing to bet, that the car could be reliable w/ 2 k more added to the base price. (provided that the mechanicals aren't broke)
I realize that it'll be no sweetie, but what 3500.00 91 GT is?

For the record:

A carb makes it all the better, given it's obvious condition. This way I wont be plagued w/ a never ending stream of sensor based EFI issues. Put a carb, and an H.E.I. on a 5.0,...and it'll be running in an hour. If it was a non=running E.F.I car, it'd sit unrunning for a week, ( but more probably forever) and a buttload of cash.
It will be a DD,...as is mine with a carb (imagine that?) and,...BTW,..I'd consider a Focus only as an alternative to walking.

I paid a similar amount of money for my current car,...w/ the only difference to this one being it was a smoking 4cyl LX car, and all of the same conditions as described above existed here,....so as far as whether or not there is anything that lurks under the skin that can't be fixed,.....I'm not too worried about it.
I do hear you all though, ...........and given that we all dump a bunch of money into these cars only to unload them for half the investment when we decide to sell doesn't fall on deaf ears.
If it was for me,...and I was starting another one of my "projects" I wouldn't have asked,....I'd just do it. But it's not.
It has to be decent, reliable, and safe and complete in a very short time.

I'll probably let it go,...depends on what it looks like Monday after I get it up on a rack.
