With my tax return I've got coming + what I've got saved + what I can save I should end up with a pretty nice car. I would like everybody to keep an eye open for what I want as I know there aren't many of them around.
To be more specific of what I want. I want TPI, 5spd, and an original Notchback car. I would prefer not to have a clone, but might consider it. I'm not sure what cars like this are going for but I'm hoping $4,000-$5,000 will be enough, if not I'll just save for a few more months.
Know of anything?

Not to picky. Just looking for 1 of ~500. Laughing

Nice goal but I don't know if you're going to find too many of the notchback cars. I'll keep an eye out though.

Are you dead set on a notchback or a firebird?

Yeah, I know they're rare. But there's one on ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-PONTIAC-TRANS-AM-GTA-NOTCHBACK-MEGA-RARE-CAR_W0QQitemZ4608907832QQcategoryZ6427QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The location is a bit farther than I'd like to go, but probably worth it. I'm watching it and will wait till the last day to decide what to do. I doubt I've got enough saved to meet the reserve Sad

you could always see if jess still wants to sell his black 88GTA and get a reproduction notchback.

That car is beautiful, good luck getting it Charlie! In the meantime I'll be on the lookout for a 3rd gen in nice condition that's for sale.
