Default Looking at a 95 5.0 - any problems with them?

So I blew another freaken HG on my 95 3.8. Well Im tired of repairing this car so Im looking for a new car. Saw a 95 GT on CL for 3900 with a rebuilt engine with 20k on it. I need to know if there was any problems with the 95 GT's that I should be worried about...

Thanks,
Matthew

I had a 95 gt a couple years back..... more cozy in the **** pit nice upgrades from the fox but the down sides are around 200 lbs heavier than a fox comes with 215 hp stock and 94-95 were the last of the 5.0 engines up to this year, kind of odd ***** years ...I sold my and bought a nice clean fox body and I would take a clean fox over and sn95 car any day of the week. I'm more old school all depends on what you want I guess ? Just my 2 cents worth !

I love the Old Fox's. My first car was a 85 4 Eye but the wife doesnt like them so I sold it for mine current 95. Update - car just sold for 700 more that I was going to offer so the hunt continues.

Where the hell is all this "heavy as a pickup truck" nonsense coming from?

A 94 GT only weighs about 150ish lbs more than a 93 GT. Hell, even the Cobra only weighed 3365! Thats 400lbs lighter than my 4.3l S10!

they're just jealous that aside from the weight our cars are superior in every single way
