Picked this up last night from a guy I know. It's not perfect, lots of little rock chips,places where the clearcoat is coming off, but overall it's a pretty nice ride and Deb and I are both happy.

Nice car Skip. Not as good as Mach 1, but still awesome car. Good luck with it.

Looks sharp! As for the rock chips and clearcoat, paint jobs are cheaper then buying all new cars. Besides, you know there are tons of things to do with that engine. Have fun.

Haha nice car. Too bad its an auto, a 5.0 is mean with a 5 spd, especially when you find ricers.

That's what I thought. I know it was offered in '93 but I didn't see it in Brad's timeline and I don't have a '93 brochure. Need to check the paint code.

What you've got there Skip is a great looking car, paint chips or not, its gorgeous. Wild Strawberry is a great color too. Not overly flashy, but a definite attention grabber Have fun with her Skip and congratulations

Ok, so I'm wrong! Shoot me. Just kidding. I swear I thought Wild Strawberry was available in '93. Let me see if I have a brochure.
