Looking for a solid firebird project!

Hey All,

I will be selling my Camaro soon (as a roller), I have never been a huge fan of the early years of the third gen Camaro Sport Coupes, would like to have something with T-tops.. and would prefer to get a later year Camaro or Firebird/Trans am (85-92). I would like to find something that is in solid shape (no rust). the paint doesn't have to be perfect. but I WOULD prefer to find a 5 speed model , it's not a requirement.. but would prefer it.. also would like to get something with T-Tops. I guess I should mention I would like it to be a V8 as well. it doesn't have to be running, could even be a roller if it's a good enough of a deal. Interior doesn't have to be perfect, but obviously the nicer it is the better.

so I guess here are my requirements and wishlist..

Requirements
- 85-92 Camaro or Firebird/Trans Am (with ground effects)
- No Rust / Solid Body
- T-Tops
- Clean Title (no salvage)
- Close(ish) to southeast Michigan
- The lower the mileage the better (no 150,000+ mile cars)

Wish List
- Decent Interior
- 5spd / V8
- Running

so please keep your eyes open for me, people on craigslist think that everything is made of gold.. the couple that I have found that seem like what I want have already been sold.. I would like to find something for $1500 or less if possible.. obviously that is flexible if its an awesome deal.

Thanks!
-Jeremy

Car: 91 ws6
Engine: Carb'd 334 stroker
Transmission: T5
Wanna drive down to the land of OZ (Kansas)?
I have a bird that fits most criteria.

85 t/a, not a lick of rust, paint is half-assed aircraft paint, interior is meh. Dash cracked, no headliner, no rear seats..
40k on body. Has a 355 carb motor that "runs", but has a burned exhaust valve and I suspect the new rings didn't seat, crappy carb kept dumping fuel, washed the cyls out and the rings took a dump in the bores.
Has a title, and isn't a t-top.
Front fenders have dents that appear to be from a 10 lb maul, no idea who did that one (TOTALLY not me wink wink)

Re: Looking for a solid firebird project!

I have a 85 t/a that fits your criteria. T-Tops v8 5 speed. Fresh 383 stroker zero miles. I haven't even turned it over yet. Brand new clutch tons of new brake systems parts and a lot of extra's like a real Daytona hood extra hatch with wraparound spoiler. Gta wheels. It think it has a 9 bolt rear. And a bunch of other stuff I can't think of. $3000 for the motor the car is free. I have more than double that into it.i really don't want to sell it but I have other priorities to tend to. It does need paint and little things here and there. Pm me if you're interested. The car is located in lansdale pa 19446.
