Ya could always do like I did, a set of inner tie rods and a power steering line bought for and installed on a 91 taurus in trade for an 84 Indy clone that runs and drives, lol. Ended up costing me around 50.00 and about 2 hrs of my time.

I don't really care for 88's. My first 3 Fieros were 88's, but I like the way the older ones handle, and parts are cheaper! I couldn't pass this one up at twice the price. Anybody wanna trade for a 86-87 GT?
It's a disease!
I don't have fifty miles on this thing. My wife would stroke out.

How about "Stealth" You could letter it with some USAF numbers.

My daughter wants to paint it "rainbow". Talking her out of that one might be a chore.

Come on man up and let her do it! LOL Looks like a nice score though. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

You have to leave a little blood in the driveway. They will sniff it out and come running. I drove the beast to work this morning! 125 miles one way. Cruise even works. No issues at all. Never got warm. I'm starting to dig this car. Needs a little more grunt, but it handles great!

More name suggestions: Pitch Black? I liked that movie. Black Hole?? You got it cheap, but it might suck the life out of your wallet by the time you're done with it. 0_o Dark Matter? Hmm... probably my favorite for a two-word name. Total Eclipse? Meh. You could get cryptic and call it Tenebrous (def: dark, ominous) Stealth is probably the best one-word name though.

I think he meant the numbers instead of the rainbow paint job.
If you want an aircraft themed paint job make it black with red accents to make it look like an SR-71 Blackbird.

Most of the time it happens when you are not looking. Just when you are about to give up and quit all together, one shows up.....
Thanks for the rainbow pic. Now I gotta price 10 different colors instead of one or two. (My daughter saw it)
