I've wanted a fox-body Mustang since before I could drive. I was looking for one for my first car, but wound up buying an 89 Firebird. I loved that car, but it was one headache after another. Long story, but I ended up junking it. Wanted to buy a fox-body after that, but somehow wound up behind the wheel of a 96 Cobra (Go figure). I had a lot of fun with that car, but didn't like the crazy insurance rates, the price of aftermarket parts (being a 96 Cobra and all), and wound up selling it. I briefly considered buying a fox-body after that, but decided to give General Motors another try, and bought an '81 Malibu with a 229ci V6. The body is in great shape, the paint is real nice, interior is decent for what it is, the car runs and drives great.... just to get the car where I want it to be, I'll need a whole new drivetrain, suspension, and at least a little money into the interior to make it a little nicer... and since its my only car and I realisticly cant afford to have 2 cars at the same time, its not like I could slowly build it up as my budget allows.....
I dunno..... I am seriously considering this.... as much as I'm going to miss the Malibu if/when I sell it, other than the body looking real nice, its not like I'll never be able to find another one if I want to..... and besides, I actually like the Regal/Cutlass/Grand Prix/Monte Carlo's better than the Malibu appearance wise.....
I dunno.... any advice or suggestions or thoughts?
