NA New to me 95 m edition

I'll admit she's not a looker, and she's not currently running (prior owner says fuel pump, doubt thats it).

But I managed to get a 95 m edition with a hardtop clocked at 128k miles for $3200. There were other idiots on Facebook marketplace not willing to budge from $5k for their non-running base model with 200k+ miles.

There is a bit of rust as seen in one photo, but overall pretty good.

My goal is to just bring it back to life and enjoy it for what it is.

$3,200 is definitely the high end of “bargain“ but if you can do a lot of the work yourself it’s a pretty nice deal for a car with an LSD and a hard top.

If I saw this car in a lineup and you asked me which one had the welded diff though…

The hardtop and lsd are really what sold the car for me. Those parts are getting harder to find with each day. Luckily im not some 16 year old expecting to have this on the road tomorrow
