back in the 3rd gen world
picked up this car today for $1800. Ive looked and looked for a 3rd gen and all the v8 cars are beat badly and over priced. This car though its a v6 is the best one i found and the cheapest. Car is wrecked some in the front noticeable in the pics. Has a new tranny. Couple of problems here and there but over a good deal i think. heres some pics

interior isnt as clean as it looks, the carpet needs to be replaced from years of leaky tops.

yeah, that car is beautiful! even if it is a V6. You can always throw an 8 cylinder in there and the insurance would never be the wiser

NICE FIND!!!!!And yes; dont be so negative. You are talking about minor details that can be corrected. You have a great solid body to work with and not a project car. Nice ride and have fun...

thanks for the comments guys. I think $1800 was a little much for it because i have gotten camaros in like condition for $500 and under.

went to the junkyard today and picked up a new spolier that is the same color just metallic, (mine was oxidized) got 1 black armrest to replace mine with mold on them. Got a TPI intake, which by the way, had no power increase at all! I also got a dash vent to replace my broken one, and a bunch of fuses and screws. Got bolts to put my leather backseats in the car. Tightened up my panhard bar for a temporary fix. And took apart the dash for about a hour trying to fix the speedo, which still doesnt work, but im taking it to a chevrolet dealer tuesday or wednesday to have it fixed

Car: Looking
Very nice ride!
I got my 91 RS a few weeks ago while at Auction looking for a car for a customer. The week before, some people bid the car up to $1400, and they dealer wanted more!!!!
The next week, she went through again. As she came into the lane, the car sounded like crap. Then the car stalled out, ran out of gas. Just my boss and some other guy were bidding on it, the guy gave in at $700. After auction fees, it was $815 total.
Car is straight, could use another coat of paint. Didnt have a headliner, needed a new carpet, and the seats could be re-upholstered. The suspension is gettin replaced too.
Most importantly, the car ran like crap b/c the cat melted!! Just cut off the cat back, gutted the cat, and she started right up.
Dont bash yourself!! Just work on her, replace what you want to, mabye get it painted. She lookss awsome!

only paint that looked bad on the car was the spolier that i replaced today with one with matching paint. tires and rims need to come soon, 205's aren't wide enough! Looking to get a 6 speed plate so i can put my 4th gen console in. I could only find 1 grey carpet in the junkyard, and it wasnt worth taking all the interior out to get it.
