those cars are nice. if u do get one, make sure u have all the receipts and paperwork that proves that the car was maintained well. alot of the gen 1 shos are fast stock and handle well. maintenance is the key especially from the previous owners history, just like any other car.
go to
shoforum.com , u might be able to snag one up for a good deal thats well taken cared of. here's my suggestion if u want to mod it.
1. maintenance
2. brakes and suspension
3. power adders(u can always do this later)
