Fox body Mustang or 3rd generation F-body, though you could only get a 305 with those, so I would say a Mustang.
Just out of curiosity how much are GTR's going for in your neck of the woods. The cheapest R32 I've ever seen was like 10K, most go for between 15 and 20K... But if you can... do it! Epic cars they are.
My old boss used to have one with 400whp.
Well, he still does have it. he's just not my boss anymore.
The problem with the LT1 F-Bodies is maintenance is a bitch. It should not take two hours to replace a car's spark plugs.
Not true. You could get a TPI 350 with 3rd gens I believe.

Yah, 1994 would have been an R33. That explains some then.
R32 was still in production in 1994. V-spec 2 was introduced in February 1994. The R33 GT-R was introduced in 1995.
R33 Non GTR was available in 1994 though was it not?
I looked around on our biggest carsite... around 5k? (which is alot more than 5K$, but whatever) you're in BMW E46 320d territory. I did find one that was "kinda want" because it was a 330Cd, but still... nothing really close to what you can get it Canadaland
And no V8s to be seen
edit : I stand corrected (although it is an auto)
So this one is a R32 but with a R33 shell? This is what is confusing me. Or is it because it is a GTS. I'd get a GTS as long as it has the RB26 in it.
1993 Skyline GTS-T
That's a GTS - T. So it is the RB26 with a single turbo. The GTR is twin turbo and the GTS is non turbo. IMO the only good ones are the GTR's. I wouldn't bother with even a GTS-T. But that's probably because I'm torque hungry.
