I think I've finally found a project car. - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

When I walked in the door from a road trip to Cleveland, OH this morning at 3am, I noticed that I had a voicemail on my cell phone. The message was from a friend telling me that he knows of a late 3rd gen (not sure on the year) that is a TPI 350/hardtop (non t-top) car that is for sale. It belongs to a female that he works with (as he said "a girl at work owns it", but I was trying to be more PC than that). It needs pads and rotors and possibly other brake work badly (that's easy....). It had been in a minor accident and he thinks it was all fixed, but not 100% on that. I asked for a price and pictures. I was told $500 to $600 (she bought it new, one owner, 100,000 miles). If it is not destroyed (looks good from 50 feet @ 50 mph), I plan to drag it home.

I should have more info in the next few days, but it looks like I finally found a 3rd gen project. I figure I can ebay off the extras (console, etc) and pay for 1/2 of the car (depending on condition).

I'll let you know as I know more.

That and $15k and you'll have a nice race car I had about 30k in the last one and sold it as I got almost done. I hope this one goes better. My friend was supposed to call her about it today. It's too late to call him, so I should know more tomorrow.
