It looks like they are cambered out..
You can find one of these cars in nice shape, then someone runs into it like what happened to me, and then bam, it looks like ****. Mine needs a paintjob and it will be sharp, but that's like any car. Buy one that needs a little work, it will be cheaper, and you will learn stuff. Mine was stock and the previous owner didn't know **** about how to take care of it, it had a few things that lead to the Engine going out eventually. Now it's got a built Engine, bout to have a built Tranny, and lots of good stuff all around.

Note: it was molested a little bit by Johnny Racer 
, this however just took away from the pain of modifying a virgin car and also because of that i was able to get the price down of the car.

No shame in having to put some work into it. I got my '96 in kinda rough shape. has 79K miles on it. It's getting a full repaint and a new fender since it was damaged from previous owner. Got a whole bunch of goodies for it too. Look around but don't be afraid of a little work

you can still find them, one will turn up when least expecting it.. i have found two in the last year for my friends..
One was a 94 T/A auto hard top with 60,000 virgin for 7,800
the other was a 97 WS6 T/A t-top 6 speed with 78,000 for 9,800 with a cat back
both these cars are now modded thanks to me lol but beautiful and perfect condition still..
