I have a bit of a problem, but not a bad problem to have.

I have been searching for the perfect 3rd gen fixer upper. I have looked at and passed up on many rattle traps and gutted camaros. After many months of searching, I have narrowed my search down to 2 cars. I cannot make up my mind as to which I want.

This is what the two contenders are:

1991 Camaro Z28 5.0 TPI. T-Tops Good running car. Does not use or leak any oil between oil changes. This a great unmolested 3rd gen survivor. We are 3rd owners and purchased car from friend. Body is as straight as they come and that is why I bought it but son is wanting 1995 to 2002 Trans am. Does not appeared to ever been in an accident. everything in the car works even the A/C and heat.

89 iroc It is a iroc z with a 350 tpi. I have put a new heatercore in it, new k&n filters, msd plug wires, new tires on the rear, new rear shocks, new brakes all the way around, and a new 52mm throttle body with new tps sensor and idle air control valve, I have put a complete new exhaust system on the car, it has headers with 80 series flowmasters and sounds pretty sweet.The car runs great it has 135000 miles on it and it is a automatic with a 700r4. The ac and heater works and the cruise control. this car does not have T-Tops.

I am in love with both of these cars, but I can only own one of them. Any advice. I am considering waiting till one of them sells and just picking up the other, because I cannot make the choice on my own.

Please help.

I was in a similiar situation. I have a pretty much show car appearing 91 Z28 305/Auto. And I have a decent looking 88 IROC that is a 350/5 speed. The Z28 has things I like more, and the IROC has things I like more.

I want to put an LSX/T56 in one of the two cars. I decided to go with the 91 because the body is completley straight and the paint is amazing. Especially after getting quotes for body/paint work for the 88. I figured it would be well worth converting the 1991 to a stick.

You got to ask your self, what are the plans for your car?

Here's an Idea for ya,
Depending upon mechanical skills, put the 350 along with exhaust and other performance parts into the TTOP car. And take the 305 and put into the IROC-Z. Then sell the iroc.


If he gets a TA I recommend the 98-02. They come with LS1's that are simply great engines out of the box with tons of potential.

Go for the 91 z for taste is a better looking and performer car!
