I like #4. If #1 is legit I would jump all over it... 351c and an extra 302 and t5 you can mess around with.

umm a 4v cleveland will be a tough time to find parts but if you can it would be very much worth it, id get the first 1 in heart beat, if it wasnt so far away id probably be there already lol..

i say the 4 cyl notch..

it already has all the weight that takes hours to get rid of gone.. ie,sound damping material,insulation carpet padding exc.. that and everything that is different between the 4 cyl and the 5.0 you need to upgrade anyway.

i say get the 4 cyl

I doubt that Cleveland car has a Boss 351 in it because those engines are rarer than a phucking Unicorn. But the car looks to be a good deal.

The 4 cylinder 91 for $1200 is about $600 too much.

The 87 LX in primer sounds like a bad deal. No pictures = hiding something.

The black 89 LX with the cowl hood looks like a good deal.

The red 89 LX looks like a rat.

if you live in CT, I'm not sure if you can register a 4 cyl converted. Also, the 351 car might be hard to get to pass emissions. Just a thought if it's not going to be a track only car.

$3000 is out of your price range? Then don't expect to get much of a car.

Is it just me or does the back window section not look right? It looks like it is bigger than a coupe but shorter than a hatchback? Like some strange combination of both. Maybe it is just the angle of the picture.

This sounds like a decent deal although I'd take off the body kit and wing but maybe keep the hood.

It looks good in the pictures but you won't really know what it looks like until you go look at it in person. Pictures hide alot, especially pictures that are small and poor quality.
