if this is going to be your daily driver then hell no, i wouldn't trust it

for $1000 i can see a teal '94 v6 with 210,000 miles, poor paint, 3 hubcaps and beat up interior

not a '96 gt, unless it needs an engine and/or trans or it has an ungodly amount of miles on it



for a weekend project car i say go for it

Make sure this guy is for real. I've heard of some people buying a car for cheap and getting arrested at the DMV for trying to register a stolen car. If everything is legit, go for it, but be prepared to dump some $$ into it. A new top and a used PI engine will wake it up nicely.
