Default thinking about buying a fox

i know this is in the wrong section, but since i own a s197, i was curious to what other owners thought about the purchase of a 93, since the 06 is getting ready for some major overhaul and her daily driver ability is going by-by.

...Sounds like a good deal, as long as you can find a nice clean/rust free one! ...Here in the NE you have to look at them close!!

....Overall, 302's run great!

347 with an e cam? what kind of heads are on it? That sounds like the makings of a horrible combo.

Whats funny though is once you start modding the s197 and see price of everything, if you would have poured that money into the fox, you would have had a hell of a faster car.
