I am happy just writing this post. Got the OK to get another one, this will be my third, third gen. Hopefully the lucky one.

This time around I'm looking for something a little more rare, hopefully a five speed but autos will be considered. 89+ Irocs, Z28, Firebird/Trans Am.

Please PM/Email me with anything you have that meets the criteria or is custom and clean.

I am a cash buyer.

Thank you crew!

I saw a real clean looking green 91-92 RS for sale down here. I can try to track down some info for you. I have no idea if it is a 3.1 or 305 or what.

I'm gonna try to stick to something that already comes with posi, so the Z28/IROC/Trans Ams take priority.

I just found a 1988 RS V8 5 Speed with 60,000 original miles on it, from the original owner. I just don't want to be stuck with TBI again, or an open diff.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me Jon!

I like the maroon one.

Didn't a member here have a TA just like that blue one? Posted out of south Seattle area? I like the black one, but I like the maroon ones price more!

I saw all but the Black one already. That dealership is always selling something from the 80's for too much Very Happy

Since this will be bought by my fathers dealership, I won't be going through other dealers unless its a trade in and they wish to wholesale it. A lot cheaper that way.

The red one, maybe you guys can chime in on this, seems fishy. Really low miles and a broken motor mount? Not too excited for a GTA that had an owner so cheap he wouldn't fix things to sell it.

Thanks ian for looking. I am truly excited to get a thirdgen again.

Chances are it's a broken trans mount and they're just hearing the clunk on throttle.

mrpopo573 · Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 9:12 pm Post subject:

That is something I had a problem with in my 1988 GTA. Oh well, I'll stay picky, I really dislike dealing with guys who think stock wheels are "worth a 1000 dollars alone" Laughing

How much are you looking to spend?

mrpopo573 · Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 9:41 am Post subject:

The family company would be paying for it, however, as a dealer I am forbidden from paying so much that I can't at least sell it for what I paid. A thirdgen isn't worth much more than 3500, give or take some special cases.

My 88 GTA with 79000 miles on it cost 2k.

Alright, so mine is out of the question. Just checking! Very Happy

Your car has an epic mods list, and like I said, is a special case. I just have to find something stockish or not too wild because it just makes it hard to sell in case I have to. Like our crew buddy with the supercharged iroc, absolutely stunning car, but you have to find a very specific customer.

Your car is beautiful, and I'm sure has a lot of money and time in it. What do you need to get to be happy?
