I am not hating on '93s in the least. I am speaking from a similar experience: Only 14,000 or so of these cars were made, so finding some of the one year only stuff will suck and won't be available at the parts house. I feel this pain with my '68 Nova. A lot of the stuff is one year only, and even with a production run of 180,000+ and an already existing aftermarket industry guys are still paying $500 for ash trays and $200 for dash emblems. The costs outweigh the profits for reproducing one year stuff so they won't get made.
Meh, on the counter argument, if you are decent with tools, it is not to hard to swap most things to newer LT1 stuff. So, if it runs great as is, I wouldn't let the year alone scare you out of it.
