    Vin 2k93t113841, 200 6cyl, 3 on the tree. Car is in really good shape, underneath is great, floors are solid, Interior is shot from the New Mexico heat although the headliner is fine. Very pleased with it.

    Nice solid car ... but oddly enough .. that is not a Grabber VIN .... Does the door sticker VIN match the dash VIN?

    I would still replace the headliner if you are doing a lot of work to it. Threads tend to get brittle after 30 years or so.

    I would have definitely guessed that would have been a 3K93l car. Looks like a good project either way.:)
