Default 93 ta???

Is a 93 ta worth getting? Im painting a guys car and he dont have much cash so he will give me a 93 ta and some cash. The car runs just needs a paint job which i can do and freshen up the interior. What do u guys think?

Thanks

Mileage? How does it run? What does the oil look like? Anything under the hood look odd?

I guess the other question is how much money is he looking to offset by giving you this car?

Having an extra fbody around could be fun.

Scary? Well, we have updated 700R4s (non computer controlled) and ECMs with chips, so tuning isn't as fun as with a 94+ Other than that, nothing comes to mind other than that. Even those 2 things aren't really "scary" heh. Intake is different, but better (no stupid fuel rail cross over to impede air flow), as are fuel rails. Some other small changes as well, but nothing I can think of worth noting.

I really like the bright blue metallic that came on very few lsx Trans Ams. I think it was 1999 only but im definitely not sure on that. Regardless it's an awesome color.

You would get twice the looks with the blue color i speak of IMO. That blue literally pulled my eyes outta my head when i first saw it.

Yea, I think 93 and 94 had the better heads for porting, just not the best as far as flow goes

I really count myself luck >_> I have the headlight issue, but that doesn't bother me much I just unplugged them in the UP position. But I've never had a window motor problem *knocks on desk*. Or the cracking door panel, or my tach being a couple hundred RPMs off... My temp gauge doesn't work, but I'm not entirely convinced it's the gauge. I haven't dug into it.
