yeah, my first thought was the price is outrageous!  Is it really anything that special or is it just another v8 'bird?  idk, not a huge mn12 fan...  maybe if it had mad motor work.

I'd offer him $500. My freinds little sister bought a 94 or 95 with less miles for around $1200. There's hundereds of those cars just hanging out with for sale signs on them right now. You could get one with alot less miles for alot less. For that i'd deal with a door ding or two.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
