I think I paid around $7000 for mine last year in TN. 115,000 miles or so.

It's got a rebuilt rear with an eaton and good axles and a transmission rebuilt with the latest updates. So hopefully it will be good to go for awhile.

It's clean and top shape. I drove it from Nash to Atl to Bristol the first weekend I had it. Set the cruise on 80 and away I went. Ride is fine on highway, a bit trucky around town. One thing is the gas mileage, plan on 15 or so (maybe less) mixed, I haven't measured in awhile. Also some specific repair parts can be hard to find (suspension) but they are reliable.

Also, they are Speed Density in case you plan any mods. I'm not up on SD at all but hear they don't like mods much, at least cams. You can convert to MAF but it definately isn't as cheap as a Stang due to the unique engine/auto tranny combo.

I got a 94, would have liked a 95 to match my Cobra but... I shied away from 93's, I think there were some tranny issues, no driver airbag FWIW, I don't think they have clearcoat paint and they just started getting the F4TE roller capable block late in the run (they all use a flat tappet cam). Improvements continued throughout the 3 year production run.

The engines have hyper pistons and like our 5.0's seem bulletproof. I wouldn't be afraid to run some boost on them with a good tune.

Like was said, NLOC.com it THE resourse and you can find any info over there. FWIW, I have the dealer sales brochures for a 94 and maybe another year in case you need a spec.

Anyway, I really like mine and plan on keeping it. Just a big red box, haha with some power.

I do have a brand new set of custom longtubes (with the wide Dart bolt pattern) and maybe (I haven't decided whether to hold onto it or not yet) a HD Vortech bracket I've been meaning to post. I don't have the time or money to mod 2 vehicles.

Good luck whatever you decide.
