Think I paid ~$1,000 for the 93 GT. It was sitting as a trade at a big dealership and they were just going to send it to auction. I walked in and they just made up a price. Paint was baked as is the case with red Fords if you don't take care of them. Still the most fun car I've ever owned. Something extremely liberating about having a car and not worrying about taking care of the exterior. Also fun, during the peak of the import tuning years, to beat on cars that folks spend much more money on. 164hp/164tq but would outrun 195hp Honda VTEC's and hold a half car length lead on 2nd gen fwd turbo DSM's to 0-100.
Actually had a kid in an older Honda w/ a 2.2 prelude motor swap ask what work I had done to it after running him between stop lights in ocean city, MD. Only thing I had was a $20 autozone cone filter I put on.

Went on a top speed run one night with the probe, non turbo 300zx, integra gs-r, and 2nd gen fwd Talon TSi which is how I know it hit 138 mph. Only one I couldn't outrun was the 220hp Nissan and I wasn't that far off.
