Nice car! I can see you keep it ingreat shape.
I previously owned a 1992 Z-28 w/305; but I was a little intimidated by the spoiler and hood blisters. I prefer the sleeper look of the RS.

It's got the 350 TPI auto, 4-wheel disc brakes, dual cats with an aftermarket muffler. Not sure what type of muffler, but it has only one outlet which gives it even more of a sleeper look. The exhaust was on it when I bought it in Chicago.
Inside it has all the creature comforts: charcoal cloth seats, air, cruise, factory AM-FM-CD, lockable storage in trunk area. I have a set of subframe connectors but I haven't had them installed yet.

Looks like a nice ride! I wish I had a 350 TPI in my car. Mine is in awesome original shape but I think I would prefer one with a 350 TPI. Maybe I will sell mine and get one with a 350 TPI already in it. I don't know yet...

I'm happy with the car's performance and it's in immaculate condition; and there are so many things I'd like to do but can't afford to.
Yes, I really like this car, and I think the third generation f-bodies are so sweet; but I have it up for sale as we speak. We recently mortgaged a new house and now I can't afford to make the payments on the car. Same old story.(sob)
I took it out of storage in early April and only drove it a few times since then and so I keep it parked in the garage.

I'm asking $20,000 for the '92 amaro B4C. It's a bit much; but I bought the car in Chicago for $13,000 USD. When you do the math and add taxes, duty etc the price goes way up.

Wow that's alot...I hope you get it, it will serve to increase the value of the rest of our cars....but I think it's a little high IMHO.

For $20 000 most people would look at buying a LS1 4th gen before they look at a thirdgen.

Just how rare is the B4C?

There were 589 cars equipped with the B4C option in 1992.

With some tweaking you can get close to 30 mpg....I went across the US once on a motorcycle...very economical


"Conduit" is how to say drive

Wow... pas mal de quebecois sur ce site...

On a un groupe assez actif a Montreal...
voici le lien pour l'ancien site-web, il est supposé d'etre revisé bientot.
http://www.mfba.com/

Si je me trompe pas, la prochaine recontre sera une randonée vers Mont Laurier (ou peut-etre pas si loin, question de profiter des couleurs d'automne). Peut-etre le 5 octobre. Si quelqu'un est interessé, je pourrais fournir plus de details.

Anglo-version: I posted the link to our old web site for the Montreal F-body group, there should be a revision coming very soon.

Next outing, a fall-colours drive up north, probably the 5th of October. If there's any interest I can post details.


Oh, and here's a pic of my three F-cars.

My GTA's best mileage to date has been 27 mpg (us gallon), in summer 2001 on a Montreal-Toronto stint.

My '98 WS6, though, is the mileage master... 33 mpg best, repeated several times on long distance trips.

My '78 T/A gets it's best mileage sitting in my driveway with the engine off.

Hey Triple.....nice cars man....

I used to own a black '78, sold it to my brother and bought my GTA that I have now.

He still owns my '78 along with my other brothers '77.

I am probably going to pick up a 4th gen convertible in the next couple of years.

I am definately interested in the October 5th drive....I met some of your club members a couple of months ago at the Friday night car show in Laval....

let me know for the ride in October
