as soon as I get my damn pontiac sold you all will see me on here with a stang =)
I have a hopeful car in my sights too = '94 with 105k highway miles, 5 speed. I've talked to the guy and he knows that the sale depends on when I can sell my pontiac. 94 GT

I paid $4000 for my car with 117,XXX miles and a few minor cosmetic defects, along with the SVO scoop/3" cowl hood, and adjustable shocks all the way around.

Hey guys - just updating you all. I foudn this 93 GT on craigslist. I talked to the seller and he is selling it for a 4 door family sedan, so I told him about my Bonneville, he is very interested. We are meeting up saturday night to check each others cars out and possibly trade.
As far as details on the stang - 103k miles, not a spot of rust on the body. Rebuilt tranny with a shift kit (AOD, the only bad part
). He said the car was in a front end collision back in 96 and had the front bumper replaced..but if all that needed replacing was the front bumper I'd suspect there is no frame damage...plus he's been driving it for 10 years with no problems.
Wish me luck!!

Make sure that the radiator support appear original and that there is a VIN sticker somewhere on it...that's the only way to tell it hasn't been damaged beyond major repair. If it's still original, the paint "fade" should match and there shouldn't be many crinkles or differences in it's appearance.
Good luck and keep us posted,
Ivan

I highly doubt it did much damage if all that had to be replaced was the front bumper. He's been driving it for 10 years since then and he says the car is as solid as the day it was new. I'll be sure to get details though.
