Nothing. Until I got to inspect them. There's nothing to go off of but some crappy pictures on Craigslist.

...still nothing. i can take a sweet picture of any car but that doesn't mean it doesn't drive like crap and have 20 hidden problems pictures will never show.

both descriptions are insanely stupid. 431 header? no mileage on either, nor can they spell vtec.

i wouldn't pay either the asking price without knowing more.

if i had to pick id say take the second one since its 94 and just needs a new hood.
