hey guys need help...

so im going to be looking at an '84 trans am today or tomorrow and dont know much about firebirds, i know more about camaros kinda, its a auto 305 5.0L with t tops is there anything i need to look for or be careful of on these cars Ive never had a 'bird before. He also told me it occasionally bogs down while accelerating, why could that be? it does need work how much are these cars usually worth in project condition, I don't want to pay more than I need to?
thanks Tim

Re: hey guys need help...

its the same car as a camaro with different body cladding.

look for rust and rot, especially under the car on the floors and in the rear wheel wells.

what mileage and condition? that has a lot to do with value

the bog could be as simple as tv cable adjustment
