Ok. I have a chance to make a trade . Thought I'd post and get your guys opinions.

My car 92 lx 5.0 5 speed. Vert

White with black top, top is patched up, black interior in good shape. Seems to of possibly had a front end collision at some point that was repaired. Sub frames. 411 gears , cia and 24 lb injectors, off road h pipe thrush mufflers. Cowl hood. Nothing major wrong with it. Drives fine and has cold ac. Cracked windshield .

His car 89 gt vert 5 speed

Clean car with fresh paint and brand new top. 5 speed with high flow cats and flow masters, didn't seem to have gears, possibly a mild cam, again hard to tell ( original owner not available ) , very clean grey interior , ac is installed but missing several under the hood parts. Only issues I saw were the power locks didn't work and one of the rear windows didn't roll down, and the fog lights had been removed.. And it had turbines

The gt is cleaner and looks better than mine but needs fog lights, probably locks and a window motor plus
probably all the ac stuff..

I'm very back and forth, thought I'd ask you guys.

I'm basically trading some upgrades for a cleaner gt that needs minor stuff ( minus the ac)

pics please


How are the frame rails on both cars? Floors? That would be a big factor on my decision for an older car for me.

As much as I love my gt, I say keep your lx. There may be under the surface issues you're not aware of

Both cars seem mostly rust free. Ill post pics later. I'm gonna at least plan a other time to look at it longer and try to get under it.

I would keep yours. It has black interior which for me is a high mark! Also yours is newer and it doesnt seem like his is really that much better!!!! But ultimately its your car and you know more than we do but from what you have given us i wouldnt do it!

I don't see where you say "why" you are considering this.

You not like verts? Too much money to get the top and rest of the car in shape?
Rattles?

Me personally i'd never rid of an lx for a gt, it would also be unlikely i'd trade a newer car for an older one.

I want a gt.. But a big Factor here is the cost of trying to fix the air conditioning by time I think all that money into it I Benchale be at least halfway to a saleen body kit..

His is much cleaner though.

that car looks like a bomb compared too your car . RUNN!!!! Lower your car put some factory style headlights or smoked ones and ditch the greg weld wheels and that car will be perfect.

Absolutely.. get rid of those headlights.. I wouldn't get smoked though. Definitely ditch those wheels for some ponys or cobras or somethin.

fresh paint on the GT would scare me. you never know whats under it or how it was prepped before paint.

personally i like your lx a lot better..

the money you have into fixing the GT's a/c you could probably have a new top for yours.
