yeah, he said hes looking for a good looking DD. So i dont think the 6 mattered to him. His cars clean, my cars clean. They both have high miles, but the 132k is kinda scary for me. But I'm thinking heavily on it, I just wanted to know peoples opinions on this. Its a vert, and 5 speed, hopefully stock engine, and such may be a good weekender. I got me a 98 s10 for a DD now. SO i wont have to keep that mustang or mine on the road in bad conditions.

BTW when people convert those to 5 lug, and put saleen wheels on em, how do they keep em from rubbing the fenders? My friend has a 86LX dropped 2 inches with pony wheels and his rubs like CRAZY.

I wouldn't. If the engine is built up a bit, and wasn't a vert, and a differen't color, then I would. That 5.0 right now probably isn't much faster than your v6, but has more potential and cheaper to build.

Yeah, I know it wouldnt be much faster, if not even slower than my car. I wish the miles were lower on it. It looks to be a fun summer car, with that v8 sound, and the top down with a 5 speed. I'm still debating on it. But as far as value I think theyre at same. Most I could get out of my car is like 4k if that. Dunno, I need more people to chime in on this.

well my dad has a 92 5.0 and its is a vert they are fun but I defantly would not trade my sixer for it because of the difference in the interior differences. I just wouldn't want to get it and something be wrong with it that you can't see. I just would stick with the car you got and be safe that you know nothing is wrong.

If u want a v8 then do it. If u think they r the same value then y not. If u keep that fox in good shape they can still sale for a big price. The more **** done 2 them the more they sale for.

Just make sure you have the income for repairs and rebuilds that might be required. That's the biggest worry, I think. Those 5.0's sound pretty. It's a GT which means that it's not as fast as the LX, right?

On those cars the GT was the 5.0 with a body kit, and the LX didn't have 2 b a V8.

Okay, I think im gonna keep my car. Seeings how I can play with my car and mod it. The idea to change the K member with a 94/95 model and build a 351 setup has swayed me.

My '93 is an LX and it's a 4 cylinder.

To Krenogin: The car looks pretty clean and well taken care of... I just hate the wing on it. If you want to do it, do it. Even if it has a few problems, it should be relatively easy to fix, as long as those problems are minor.

An lx can be anything. My old car was an lx with a 5.0, however they can have any engine in them.
