100 canadian actually. i now have 3 thirdgens, so it may be time to change my username, lol.

anyway the car is an 86 firebird, with an older style front bumper. it has Z28 wheels and a good interior. it has a 403 rocket for a motor, with true dual(side exit) exhaust. i bought it for a parts car for my 85 camaro( https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=237801 ). i think the Z28 wheels will look good on my camaro once i polish them, plus i have a nice set of low profile tires to fit them.

i think $70 USD was a great price for this considering its not overly rusty...its only a parts car for me anyway, and there are loads of good parts on it. i also need it windshield for my camaro, it will fit right? i am also putting the duals on the camaro too.

 

jesus man, think you'd be driving one of these cars you bought

 

Holy Crap! That's a GREAT deal! You could make a serious profit by just reselling it or parting it out. Nice find.

 

are you positive that it has a rocket motor? All olds engines have a magnificant way of becoming "rockets" when the get put up for sale. Kinda the same way every 350 becomes a "350 from a vette".

 

why is that car gonna be a parts car, it looks clean enough to resell and make enough of a profit to fund some more goody's for the project car

is there something wrong with it

 

is there usually?? :P
i know alot of people whos 'parts' cars are in much better shape then the car they are putting the parts on.. noone cares though, until they run out of parts cars :P

 

so it actually has an olds 403 in it. Can i see some pics of the engine and how the headers are . Im contemplating using a poncho engine. and the olds is very close .

 

yeah i'll get some for ya.

and the car is a better parts car because it is rusty underneath, ie weak. the only things the camaro "needs" from it is the windsheild and the shifter, everything else is just wants, such as duals, seats, wheels etc.

 

lol heard the vette 350 one like 2 weeks ago with a GTA a friend was looking at buying

 

Every time I look at an f-body at a dealership I get the "it's got a Corvette engine" speech.

That's an awesome deal for 70 bux!!! Sweet!

 

nice buy man. is the car an auto or stick?

 

car is an auto , but the tranny is gone...that was the catch. its for a olds 403 so it don't matter much

 

funny, I bought my 86 iroc with what I was told was a "350 from a vette" before I was educated in thirdgen specifics. Now I know I bought an iroc with the original lb9 305...... Atleast I'm going to be replacing it soon with a "350 from a truck"

 

350 from a truck but come from a vette maybe.

 

nice buy!

i dont know how good "low profile" tires will look on Z28 rims though

 

they look alright laying on the floor.i guess i should be more specific, they are 205/55s. they are about 8" wide with a 2 1/4" sidewall. bridgestone potenza RE92's
