Thanks guys!! I absolutely love your cars too!! I'm buying another GTA next Already miss my gray car.
This weather is killing me. Another foot of snow today.... Been able to detail the heck out of the car, but I'm dying to at least take it down the street, I haven't been able to yet...

Got one more to contribute. Here is my friends former 1984 l69 z28. Car had right around 50k miles and was very clean. I helped him sell it this summer after he became more interested In modifying his sti rather than keeping this car.

re: LOW Mile (50K or less) Third Gens - post yours!
I live in the UK, so Camaros are very rare, not many to choose from. I wanted a good solid car to build from. I've had 2 cars previous with high miles, a lot of corrosion and problems. Its much easier to start with something very good. It is very highly modified Heres an interior pic, its in great shape, I've only added a few bits.

re: LOW Mile (50K or less) Third Gens - post yours!
Generally, American cars in the UK are scarce. You may not see one for ages, they are about, but not driven daily mostly. They are quite bold in looks and sound for most European tastes. My car certainly turns a lot of heads, most people havent got a clue what it is, but do like it a lot. 3rd Gens are one of the more common ones I suppose?

I'm on my way!
As soon as the weather lets up, I'll only be making my mileage situation worse. I admire those with the will power to keep the miles low.

yours is low just not the scope of this thread Before I bought mine I almost bought a 42K mile 5.7 auto 89 GTA with T-tops. I would have had it over 50 by now..lol it was sweet but several states over. Mine was in cleveland. I could drive it home (on original gatorbacks..ouch.. that was dangerous!)

re: LOW Mile (50K or less) Third Gens - post yours!
Well its Spring again, so once again I'm back on Craigslist in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep, looking for low mileage third gens
Thinking about another Trans Am...or Formula this time...with under 50k. I've even considered calling the guy I sold my 86 to see if he'd sell it back to me. Sold it two years ago...he stopped by work last spring to ask me to set his clock for him after disconnecting the battery for the winter He put 400 miles on it in the year he had it...still under 35k at that point...

Is that poll new? I would NEVER buy someone else's modded car. Absolutely not interested in someone's hacked together project, that you need to undo. And let's face facts, 90% of the " modded" cars out there are not very pretty.

I was just diagnosed with cancer. I really hate the thought of selling them, however I will feel better if they get a good home...
Probably need to sell the 86WS6. All original with 30,600 miles, all documentation, dealer manuals, five trophy's, PHS report.
Will also need to sell the 82WS7. All original including the tires, 24,600 miles, all documentation, dealer manuals, one trophy, PHS report.
