The thing is that the car fax report says it was in a wreck, a minor collision. I am sure this would be worth some money in stock form because it is so rare but since this guy changed evrything in it even the seats it is probably worth no more than a regular gt right or wrong? And to have all of this stuffdone alrady you don't know the quality of installation. Anyway myquestion is what would you guys do??? all opinions welcome!! Thanks

 

Well it depends what your going to do w/ it?

If you get the 97 do you plan on moding it to make more power? Or are you going to keep it stock?

If you think you will end up moding the car then spend the extra $1,400 and get the 95 seeing it has alot done already..

 

i would probably get the 95. Has a lot more modifications that u can use, but how crazy are u going to get with this project. If u just want a nice weekend driver and dont plan on doing a whole lot, then just get the 97. but if major modifications are in ur future, i would go withthe 95 because it comes with a lot already. Of course, im telling u this, without knowing the true condition of either car.

 

With the '95 with all the mods, you know it definatly has been beat to $#!+....
Personally I would stay away from some elses headaches and create my own. LOL!!

I turned away several cars because kids got into them with the mods, I wanted something stock so I know what has been done.

well if he plans on going crazy with this car, and forging the bottom end, then it really dont matter that the motor is beat up.
