[QUOTE="prez1967, post: 15399142, member: 3028"] When I picked up my 93 GT, it was hit in the front. Owner claimed the engine was rebuilt about 50K miles prior but no paperwork and the chassis had about 130K on it. Its still running like a champ with over 200K on the clock and not burning a drop of oil, bringing over 20mpg when driven sanely. I keep seeing early S197 cars with 80-100K miles that look clean selling for under $10K. Its very tempting as it would be fun to freshen up the suspension and brakes and pile the miles on. Would really be tempted if I knew the motors were "bullet proof" like my existing 5.0. I dont abuse my cars but theres no way to tell what a car went through before hand if picked up from a random craigslist ad or corner used car mart. [/QUOTE]
