thats sharp I can only hope my 91 rs turns out that good, and I paid 1000 for it with a slung rod in a 305.I can't see any flaws in the pictures, I'm impressed, I'm also curious about how much you sank in this thing before you got it to this point.

I keep looking at that first picture. That sure is a sharp car. I wish my '89 was that color scheme. Mine was a hardtop and was that Flame Red Metallic color with the gold accents and the 15" gold wheels. I really like the red and silver with those wheels. Looks stunning

alpine247

thanks again man...

Tobias05

NobleHdwe

That looks like a steal for 450. I know people that have paid a lot more for a car not near as nice... like myself.

Nice car good job, not to be off topic but in the third pic does the firebird in the back ground have a kit?

alpine247

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but what kind of shape is the paint/body in? It looks like a pretty new paint job (although that's probably not the case since you said it was oxidized).

This is basically my gf's car but with silver accents and grey interior instead of gold accents and peanut butter interior.

alpine247

the paint by all means is not perfect..it still has some oxidized left which i cant get it out by hand,have to get a buffer or something.the front bumper has some scraps and the passenger door have a winkle i guess that what u call it.anyways a owner before me was drunk and hit a mail box lol that why i took pic of the driver sidebut it still dont look that bad..since i spill the beans guess i have to show a picture of it now...

MONEY WELL SPENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish i can find deals like that, or even close to that on thirdgens...people are selling crappy cars, for mroe than 2 or 3 k...not even close to the condition of that car. Running or not, i'd buy that iroc for more than 450. Have fun with your New ride

I will give you 350.00 for it due to depreciation.

Streetrcn05

Nice car man, you got 1 heck of a deal on it

ross

Looks great nice work..

alpine247

thanks..i say about 6months i will have an ss hood and a new paint job along with headers and some other nice goodies

alpine247

aight here sum pics of the pas dr and my bro firebird.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Man I think even with the door being all dinged up you still would have got a good deal on it for $1,200. How many miles are on it?

alpine247

idk the seed cable been broken since 98 i think according to the inspecting stickers that was in the car when i bought it..but it says 78k and counting since i bought a new cable..

really the parts it need to be in perfect condition is

driver seat
dash
tach
pas dr
pas mirror
and new paint or wetsand then reclear coat..

Sounds like a great car. I'd suggest a new paint job rather than sanding and clear coating over the old stuff. You want to sand it down and put more color on because a lot of the time the color gets screwed up when the paint gets oxidized that badly. I had some bad oxidation on my hood on my Z and a body shop told me it wasn't worth the hassle to just clear coat over it.

alpine247

oh ok thanks for the tip
