Well im on the look-out for another thirdgen.
I just moved to Tennesse in November of 05' from N.C.
And well i went up to NC to get my girl and on the way back after driving for 28 hours straight i wrecked my Z28. The guy that towed it away wanted to buy it, and at the time i was so pissed at myself, and shocked that i just wrecked my baby. That i decided to go ahead and sell it.
So im looking for a 91-92, Z28, T/A, or formula.
Id prefer a 5.7,
if it is a 5.0 it would have to be a manual, or a convertible
Let me know what you guys have out there, i have couple k that i need to get rid of.
I would consider also consider a 88-90 iroc
Thanks

November 2005. Notes to purchaser. Tach off quite a bit, temp gauge off 12 degrees
(when it reads 220, actually is 208), odometer does not function properly, cruise control
and windshield washer wires cut when I purchased car, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and
speedometer work perfect.
Car from factory: designed to have traction from start, with the 2.88 anti-slip rear, and
fuel efficiency on highway with the 700R4 trans. Testing in late 87, early 88 compared
the IROC against mustang, firebird, etc.; Iroc went 149 mph, stopped on dime with the 4
wheel discs. Personally, I have had the car to 110 m.p.h.. Most all of my labor (many
hours), and many small parts, Mobil 1 Oil changes every 3 months, and the fact that
I rented a shop for $275 a month during project is not listed above. Do the Math.
Over $8,000 invested.
Asking $5,000.00
