Did the odometer quit working? My friends sister bought a 94 with 10,400 miles on it, and it sure did not look anything like it.

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.

An old lady up the block from me has a 96 just like that. 50K with a 4.6 and minty. It just sits in the garage most of the time. Nice score.:D
