So tax season is here, and I decided to buy a new toy.

Going to sell the Mighty max (Probably) instead of shipping it. And I've decided to buy a '95 Firehawk to match my dad's. His was fully optioned black on black leather, #3X. The one I'm currently looking at is also completely optioned, black with tan interior, and #635. 40k miles, completely mint. Hopefully I can snag it for the right price (;

95 is a strange year. OBDII with an OBDI connector or vice versa. Good luck with it. Auto or 6 speed? Get AI to port the heads and throw a decent cam in it. It won't set the world on fire but it will sound good and embarrass plenty of mustangs.

If you want a GMMG catback for it I have the phone number for the guy that used to make them for GMMG. $650 without tips, $800 with the wide oval tips.

It's more of a sentimental year for me. It's a 6 speed of course. They're wanting 15 for it, but I think I could get it for around ~12. I'm not sure how much I will do to it really. And let's be honest, it will embarrass plenty of Mustangs stock lol. Then again I never considered Mustangs fast.

Edit: they actually want 13,8 for it.

Christ almighty I could never pay close to that for an LT1 anything. It's a moral objection.

That's what you get with numbered cars. They only made 1000 that year. Trying getting a 94 lol. Car has 40k miles, looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. I believe my dad gave 43k for his new in '95.

All Firehawks and WS6's are numbered. It doesn't take much to whittle the numbers down with all of the colors and options. Several colors can get down to one in less than 10.

This is true, but only 750 Firehawks were made in 95 period, I believe 94 was like 500, 93 250, and 92 was like 25 lol.

And as far as LT cars go, honestly, look at a C4 in that condition. It's easily going to be in the same range. You'll have to figure out how to get this link to work, but tell me this car doesn't make you drool.

I don't have to look. I despise LT1 Firebird front ends. A clean car is a clean car. I cannot pay a premium for an F-body in this market. There is nothing that makes one worth 4 times as much as another. They are the same cars with different stick on parts and colors.
