Ok, I have a friend that has an '89 GTA 350 L98 WS6 auto w/ t-tops.
the engine was rebuilt only a few thousand miles ago. typical treatment w/ budget kit including cast pistons. Engine and drive train work great. The interior, well, its very typical 3rd gen. I get into it and think 'crap! these things were made so poorly'. Body is straight, just missing rear wing. T-tops rattle and leak a bit. Anyway, this guy just bought a Z06 so he's offered me his L98 for $800. Yes, $800 running and driving L98 (registered too). How can I pass that up? I mean I could drive it. I could autocross it. No question I could get my $800 back if I sold later. I definately could use the engine, TPI, WS6 springs, WS6 front swaybar, WS6 steering box and swap those parts into my [stock] Monte SS. Part out the rest. Or maybe find a hardtop 5spd 305 IROC/Z28 w/ bad engine and swap in the TPI L98 and WS6 suspension parts for a fun track/autox car. How can I resist? I have one more spot in the driveway....... but collecting cars isn't a priority. I'm not hurting for money either. decisions. decisions. for $800 its a no brainer..... but I still can't decide!!!!! |

Morgan, to give you an idea how much of a great deal that is, I would trade you my car for that 3rd gen and $4,000. My car has $18,000+ into it. But if someone ever approaches me with that kinda deal it's as good as gone.
I want a 3rd gen period. Just can't afford another car. Currently kicking myself in the rear for not buying a 3rd gen in the first place!! BTW if you strip all the parts, i'd be interested in the rest of the car. |
