body and interior stay stock. suspension will be completely redone, with some factory, mostly aftermarket parts. engine will stay a 5.0, hopefully the one in there, but ill do a decent build, a cam, new heads, new intake mani, maybe a bump in compression, then a direct port nitrous setup. transmission is still up in the air, still have tons of reading to do, see what roads have been traveled, and implement what is proven to work. :)

forged 5.0 on 100shot? :P Im gonna get her back to mint condition, then lightly mod the engine. engine and trany rebuild, maybe some giggle gas, who knows?

hahah i knew that was coming :P

and out of that

549 were hatchbacks
165 were Convertible
20 were hardtop coupes
161 were ssc's what ever that means

witch gives you your total 895

i'm pretty sure they were spec'ed at 292 hp and ran a 14.1 stock. (that is the info i'm gathering)

Thats a pretty mean car. How is it mechanically? At first I thought it had some ghetto ramair setup on it. lol. I say you cut the top off and bump some Vanilla Ice.
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop no I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls
Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene you know what I mean
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

thats a badass ride..nice find.
