How about this for a cheap project car for when I return from Air Force training in August? I've always wanted an unmodified 5 speed model-it's the speed density version, however: "Old School" Notchback Not a bad price.....I just wonder what the insurance would be on it? I'll just take the goofy pinstriping/scroll work off on the front end-it looks like a sticker anyway.

"Cop tires, Cop engine, got a Police Interceptor, Cop suspension..." I would LOVE to get a 89-93 LX (they have the MAF system instead of Speed Density-and I owned a 93 Notch), but, most of the one's I've found are beat to hell, modified to death, or have that stupid "bling bling" chromed out street look. I was just shocked to see a genuine, low mileage, unmodified 5.0L ANYTHING I would REALLY be shocked to find an unmodified Grand National or SVO Mustang as well...I'm still going to talk to the owner of the 1989 supercoupe that I drove-it's still for sale too at 2500$. I guess the V8 "bug" bit me lately...I've been spending alot of time at my father-in-law's "shop" working on the Lumina and have had a chance to stare at the 1967 RS Camaro parked there in storage- I miss the sound, the torque, the acceleration of an OHV V8...DOHC cars are nice, but they just don't have the same visceral appeal to me I guess. BTW, check out my SVT wires for sale in Classifieds(Ebay) Can arrange local pick-up....
