Just curious is this a green non factory color 3.6T with black interior. There was one for sale back in 2002/2003 by a company called exotic cars or something like that. the site ended switching into some dating service or something.

IIRC and this is the same car it sat for sale for over a year. I tried to find out more info but there ended up being serious issues with it. It sold eventually but I have no idea what happened to it after that.

I took a good look at it today with Viking Sjovall.

Both sides and rear have been repainted with mixed results.
Looked like the body was twisted at some point - there is a long wave in the driver's side floorboard, the passenger door had rubbed against the door opening near the roof and the dash had left a large impression against the driver's door panel.
There is some trash under the clear coat in a few spots, the paint is not the same color all around, there is significant bubbling at the passenger A pillar base, there is significant rust at the driver's side sill.
The wheels are the wrong offset in back - too aggressive and it rubs/cuts the tires against any bump.
The interior is ok save for a beaten driver's door panel (pocket is totally wasted).
Engine does make 0.7bar no problems, starts and runs good.
All electrics seem to work and the dash warning lights all work as well.
Salvage title from wreck in PA.

Sounds like a good parts car.

Any pictures of the color is it the dark green I was think it was?

I got some shots - it is really more of a light green, not even what I would call medium green

Well that explains a lot.

For some reason i was assuming we were talking a 94 3.6L. I guess all the talk of speedlines lead me to assume this. I guess if I looked at the original purchase date on the carfax it would have clicked but it didn't. So we are back to 2 94's in Wimbledon green.

$33k for a 92 with this mileage is still low but in this market who knows. Add the issues discussed and we are talking parts car material.

This car is now on sale for $32,995. I spoke to the guy who is selling it. Seems to be a complete liar and cheat. I hadn't seen this thread when I called him and he assured me that it was a clear "Texas" title and not salvage. I was thinking about going down there and I decided to check the posts and sure enough I found the work that everyone had done on this car. I called the guy back with some ammo and a chip on my shoulder and confronted him with it. You should have heard the stuttering and crawfishing...basically, he admits that there was a wreck in the past but that in his opinion, this is not a salvage title because of the condition that it's in. He totally overlooks the history it had in PA. He never talks about any of the rust problems, etc... Idiot.
