Looks good, I thought that was the one. I looked up completed listings on Ebay and that's the only one that fit your description.

Looks like it's already been converted to mass air. Aftermarket intake, throttle body, and a few other goodies too. It should run good when you get the bugs ironed out.

It's definitely been painted, that paint is way too shiny for 26 year old non-clear coat paint. I'm curious if that's Cabernet or Scarlet Red. (It's dark, I'm betting it's Cabernet)

When you get a chance, post a pic of the door code sticker if you can. That would be cool!

I will. I think the red on my car is darker than yours. I was able to see it at home.

Update

NEW plugs took care of the miss. I still feel that something is holding her back. Maybe intake/exhaust issue? Starts right up, runs a lil choppy at times...almost like she is having trouble breathing. When the rpms climb under WOT, I dont feel the umph I should. I had a fox before and it was much stronger.

Have you pulled codes yet? And I'd also verify fuel pressure, maybe fuel filter plugged. Used cars can be a can of worms to get sorted out. I'd start with the simple, common sense stuff like verify timing, complete tune up if you haven't already, a check for stored codes to see what the computer is reading.

Yeah we are verifying timing currently. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks!

UPDATE:

Timing was off slightly...so we corrected that. We also noticed that the front passenger side brake was locking up, upon further investigation we are replacing pads, rotors and calipers. We also cleaned up the intake, cleaned out a few electrical components which took care of the idle/stall issue. And for the front end noise, we discovered it needs a transmission crossmember, which I'm ordering from eBay as we speak. And I'll be looking for a speedo cable as well. As the one on the car is frayed and shot.

I was just under the car, and Im happy to say that everything else looks mint and I cannot wait to drive her again! Oh, and there are aftermarket shorty headers too!

Any tips on buying the tranny crossmemeber or speedo cable are welcomed!

I haven't checked to see if they have them or not, but I get most of my stuff from Latemodel Restoration.

They're in Texas too, so usually I get my order the day after I order it. Good selection of repro stuff, I recommend them.

Stuff that I can't find repro, I usually end up finding on eBay.
