Want To Buy SN95 Roller

I am on the lookout for an early SN95 (94-98) roller.

Preferences:

• 96-97 GT > 98 GT > 94/95 GT or any 94-98 V6
• At least 99% rust free. Minor underbody surface rust is fine, but please nothing major on the frame. That's why I'm here.
• Convertible or coupe
• Less than perfect paint/Needs paint (I already have paint that was intended for my current car. Don't really want to waste paint, but don't really want to kill a good paint job either)
• Clean title
• Relatively low miles ( < 150k ) preferred, but if the body is straight and the car is rust free, I'm willing to look past mileage.
• Preferably a 5 speed car, though not at all a necessity.
• Located in the Eastern or Eastern Central US.

Please keep in mind that I am not looking for an expensive roller here. No built drag cars with a bunch of expensive suspension bits and major fuel upgrades etc. Just maybe something that blew a motor that you're looking to get off your hands.

While I'm obviously willing to pay more for cars that fit my preferences above, the only must haves are 1) Little/no rust and 2) On my half of the country. I will consider any year between 94-98, v6 or gt, coupe or convertible.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you have and what you're looking to get out of it. :wave:

 

Yeah I saw that, but I think that roller is probably a little more than what I'm looking for. Beautiful car though.

 

Looking at his build thread for that car, he seems to be located in New Mexico, which while I'm sure is good and rust free, is a bit of a drive, as I intend to pick whatever I buy up.

With that said, the roller should preferably be located in the Eastern US. Will edit OP to add this.

 

Ah, I intentionally left that out. If it's what I'm looking for and I can afford what the owner is asking, I'll go for it. But I'm in no hurry to buy and it's my very unpredictable season at work (Could make more, could make less, I never know this time of year) so what I can afford is constantly going to be changing. So basically, I just want to see my options, regardless of price.

I will say I just missed out on basically the perfect example of what I'm looking for here locally on CL that I was going to try and grab for 6-700.

 

I didn't say that's what I'm looking to spend, just what I was looking to spend on that particular car (Dude was asking 800, figured I could walk away with it for 700). Plus you have to keep in mind that I'm really not looking for anything cherry, in fact I prefer it not be. Just little to no rust, which shouldn't be hard to find in the southern states.

Plus I notice you're in Canada. Keep in mind that my $700 is your $900.

With all of that said, I'm more than willing to wait to find what I'm looking for.

 

Wow. It's not a vert but if I were on the west coast I'd be picking that thing up this weekend. Can't beat free.
Unfortunately 10 mpg towing a trailer across the country plus taking a weekend off work... that'd cost me quite a bit lol.

 

Sounds like it'd be a pain to ship not rolling. Plus that guy doesn't sound like he'd want to mess with it.

And yeah, for right now I'm mainly looking for a vert. My car is a coupe but the number of times I wished I didn't have a roof over my head outnumbers the times I've been glad I did. Plus if I'm going to go through the trouble of reshelling the car, why not go for something a little different, right? But I'm certainly not against a coupe if the price is right (which, in this case, free is definitely the right price, lol!).

 

Yeah, I've seen that done on a few NE's, never a SN though. I've considered it but am a little weary of cutting something that isn't so easily replaced. Looks cool though.

 

No worries, no disrespect taken!

 

I definitely know what you mean. Hopefully it'll be a little easier for me because I'm specifically looking for something with bad paint. In the end I may end up just getting a v6 car with a blown headgasket or something from the southern states, I'm just giving it a while and putting the word out that I'm looking first because if I can not deal with a) pulling the old motor out and b) doing a complete v6 to gt conversion, I'll be happy.
