I bought a 94 Formula with 221,xxx miles on the body for $2200.

But I was told the motor/trans are newer, and have less miles. But they dont know exactly how many miles they have.

I bought the car from it's second owner. The first owner had it until 219,xxx miles. He supposedly replaced the motor/trans, but the second owners dont know exactly when.

The motor runs STRONG for a stock LT1 and it idles really smooth. And the oil, coolant, and trans fluid all look super clean.

It is White w/ T-Tops!

It is my new Project Car! I am going to buy a motor rebuild kit, heads/cam, etc... I want to run 11's n/a

Looks like a clean car for the miles. Nice!

Yep, I'd say you did well on that deal. Looks pretty clean under the hood for a 94 and its nice to have all the goodies in the glove box too. Welcome aboard

Hey Dena, what do you think about the color ? lol. Great pickup, nice ride for 2200.00 Just so you know, running in the 11's is going to take some coin. To do it right just about everything is going to be upgraded. Start saving, you'll get there.

Suspension, exhaust, torque converter, tires and a cam will put your car in the 11's. Go out and get a baseline with it first before you start changing stuff out. That way you can see just how much each mod lowers your e.t. Your best gain will be a good torque converter with a minimum stall of 3,200.

That will get him into the 11's assuming that everything else is in great condition. Putting that kind of stress on old, worn out parts will cause problems. You will need to go over everything to make sure the car is safe to run 115 mph. I have seen 11 sec cars break a 20 dollar tie rod end and wind up in the wall. 11 sec runs are no joke. Safety first.
