Nice ride!

I have been looking for a mint, low mile '84 15th Anniversary to buy and yank the motor to drop in a LS6 with a T56.

Cool. I don't see many pre 85s in such nice of a condition as yours. I would have thought a HO TA would have a speedo that went past 85mph.

I dont think Im gonna do anything to the interior for now.... It was all origial just awhile back but I bought it for a fun car.. so I put the 5 speed in it.... the trans and bellhousing is out of a 89 trans am.... the t5 is completely fresh... everthing else in the swap is brand new....It took me nearly 3 years to find a manual shifter plate that was good enough to match the newness of my interior... The car has never been driven in the snow or rain...I want to get some black gta crosslace wheels for it.. Kevin

I want it! Very sharp car man. Good looking paint and interior. I think the GTA rims would add a nice touch to it.

Keep her nice.

I know what you mean about the shifter plates. I still haven't found a good enough one to go into my 84 Iron Duke bird. Its got a five speed in it now but the plate still says 4.

Later,
bill
