DLF's car (Doug's) I'm sure is nice. Everything he did was top quality and meticulous. I don't know what they want for it, but it's probably worth it and in N.J.

49k with a head gasket issue?
Wow!
I would need to know more but it would be candidate to put gaskets on.
Its not a simple job on 4.6 32v.

I think o.p. said he wanted a project car? that would not be DLF's car...btw o.p. WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?
-if you're gonna fly somewhere, be prepared to get what you get, or turn and walk away from the deal; someone on here flew to Texas and was disappointed with the car but he bought it anyways; so ask lots of questions and request good pics, and then trust but verify
-it sounds like you live in an area where cars get run down quite often, so traveling to make your purchase might be wise?

Maybe you should widen your scope a little. Say maybe 93 to 98? With 93 to 96 with air ride intact being the perfect choice of course!

i hate the 93-96 i dont like them at all i really what the 97-98 body style but if im going to buy i love to have the last year of a car
