[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 15713729, member: 30361"] I recently grabbed a "barn find" 92 LX Convertible, completely stock but sat for 5 years untouched. It was in good but VERY dirty and poorly maintained condition. I got what I think was a really good deal but already have almost 2 grand into it just trying to get it cleaned up and get everything working and I don't even have the car back together yet; I'm sure more will pop up. That's still with only a few very minor performance mods (Pro 5.0 shifter, clutch quadrant and H-pipe). My point here is, these cars are getting old. Little things add up and before you know it, you're replacing things you never anticipated "while you're in there" and compiling your investment QUICKLY. Just because you find a one or two owner car that hasn't been tampered with, doesn't mean it's not going to cost you a lot of time and in many cases money, to get them back to glory. While a $4500-$5500 barn find may sound like a great deal, if you're not ready and willing to put the time and money into it, you're better off looking for the $7000-$10,000 sample that someone else already finished for you.
