Just Beautiful, Mine has original miles also a little over 50,000, It is a V6 though.

 

Sharp car!

 

$1400 on December 6th, 2010. Third owner. (I've put new wheels/tires on it since this pic)

 

'92 Z/28....$4k...A little on the high side, but it's in pretty decent shape for around this area.....

 

both very nice cars, i like yours nxtlevl

 

i just bought my 1989 camaro rs 305 automatic i paid 1250 and a xbox 360 no harddrive the car has 146xxx miles it runs and drives good paints faded so needs a paint job interior is great am/fm radio all original stock red with grey interior great car

 

I got the deal of a lifetime on this one, but they are out there. A fully loaded 87 Iroc 5.7 with everything original down to the a.i.r. pump and Bose system. Well it had been repainted and needed buffing, but it sat for 11 years in his garage (1997 till 2008 when I got it). He wanted $1200 but woulnd't put a battery in it to see if it would spin over so I offered $700 and he accepted.

Had it towed home, put a new battery in it and was at the drag strip the next weekend running 9.80s 1/8th lol.





Until I did the recent paint job I had $5400 in it with the turbo system, new tires and transmission/converter. It runs 7.8's 1/8 mile.

After the paint job I have $11k in it and I'm about to build an engine for it and will need to upgrade to a better turbo. Should have around $15k in it. And it should run 6.9 1/8 and look good doing it!

Here she is after the paint but before polishing and stickers back on.

 

Good deal. almost exactly like mine except for mines an 88 and the guy swapped an alpine deck in. Mine also needs a paint job. but it did come with a new crate motor. all for 150 dollars. I think im in mine now for 600.

 

Thanks. And, honestly, I almost left the parking lot without her!!! I actually went to the dealership to look at a fully restored RamCharger, lol! Something about it was calling me, but when I took it for a test drive, I didn't like how llose the suspension felt. I was 100% ready to leave and saw "Her".... And, then I saw the "RS", and was almost instanly disappointed. Then, I asked the salesman (Lady) which motor it has in it. When she said 5.0L V8, I told her, "Okay, it's MINE!". Now, I have fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams (Well, since being able to drive, rather), of owning an old school Chevy. I plan on keeping her forever, and passing her to my son in another 10yrs. Plausible, I think so!!!

 

Frickin' SWEET! I'm loving it. Simple, clean, CLASSY!

 

paid $3500 in february 89K original miles

 

Paid 22 799$ with today´s dollar price. (And that´s considered a low-price third-gen over here)

Here´s the car:



Yup! Thirdgens are a bit more expencive in Europe, and I f-ing hate the low prices you guys pay for them over in the US. I would´ve had ten of them if I lived there :P

 

Still can't download a picture of my car.

 

you gotta upload the pictures first. Check out photobucket or just copy the url from a facebookpic

 

Awesome RS, love it love it love it...more pics?

Paid $4300 for mine in July '99 from the original owner, 116k and bone stock down to the air filter. Didn't have the heart to low-ball, and paid the asking price which I thought was fair.

 

$2,600



$6,200



And I may add one of these to the collection if I can find an '03 or '04 at a decent price, around 15,000. I'm picky though, and want a Ram 2500, 4X4, 6 speed, Cummins, quad cab, long bed, and less than 200K miles, which is still pretty much nothing for a Cummins diesel.



2 grand sitting around so far, and I think I've abandoned my idea of a single turbo or centrifugal for the Mustang.

 

I paid 2300 for my 1988 Formula w/ 305 ,Automatic, T-tops, and WS6 suspension.
before that i had an 86 base firebird that i got for 700. I have put alot of money into my formula since. Its black right now but planning on painting to a Maui blue color this summer.

 

My brother got my car for $300 in 1996 and i think it was maybe worth
$30 at the time. I totaled my car a week later so he gave me this old
beater as a fixer upper. Some thousands of dollars later and a little
'fixer upping' and...

 

i like the red firebird with the ram air 2 hood

 

Wow - 5+ pages - it appears that this has gone from a "need to see what I can replace with my insurance money" thread to a "let's see what everyone got for their buck" thread. So I'll throw down.

1st pic my 1990 RS - paid $500 for it - yeah, big door bash, but $500 for a running V8 works for me! I bought this as an extra "just in case" vehicle - I quickly got the bug and started modding/building. But it didn't have T-tops, and I wanted them, so I sold it and went for ....

2nd pic is my 1992 RS - I paid $800 for this car - this pic was taken shortly after I got it. This became my baby! Yanked out the computer, the 305TBI, built the tranny, installed a carbed 350, repainted, and 1000 other little things that ate away at my wallet - but she's worth it.

3rd pic is the same 1992 RS, but 5 years and $15k later. Daddy loves his baby!

 

I paid 1100$ for mine, virtually no body rust, solid engine, but it looked like a wreck on the inside. Well now the inside looks good but the exterior work is yet to come.

Got my 92 RS, FREE from a family member in Aug of 2009. 65,000 Orig Miles. They bought it new in 92. Quite a bit different from my G body 85' El Camino. But I am loving it so far..

 

nice, i like the 2010 in the back

 

Ya thats by buddy's RS. we stopped by that day to help me give the car a srub down since it had been sitting for over 10 years... We have done some exhaust work and intake work to his too. Beautiful car.

 

yeah they really are, i like yours too,

 

Traded for my '96 ram that i paid $800 for. Only problem is the crappy TPI system, Swapping to carb soon!

 

Crappy TPI?? wow.

 

Im not saying the system itself is crappy, Im saying the one in my car that has been jimmy rigged and fried to no end is. Im sure if you had one that was running right it would be perfect.

 

Crappy performance wise, yes. They just have a hard time making power above 4 grand. I imagine they make for a great daily driver, just not something you can expect power out of when N/A. The real root of the problem beyond TPI is the heads and the baby cam, but forced induction fixes that.

There's a Vortech supercharged 305 that made over 400 at the wheels, not sure on heads, or cam though. He claims it was a bolt on only project before his new engine, so I imagine them numbers aren't too far out there for a stock internal 305 with air being forced in by a big Vortech.

2900 May 2009. It needed a bit of work when I got it, it had been sitting for almost 8 years.

Including the price of the car, I'm into it about 10K.

 

damn 10k?

 

That is literally EVERYTHING I have spent related to this car minus gas. Things like tools, tires, rear end, t5 swap (not installed yet) insurance...everything. I also bought some third gen related parts from the junk yard just in case I needed it. I have about 3300 in just parts to fix the car. The biggest expense was the paint at 1500 dollars (done in my garage).

 

damn, better to be ready for a break down then to not have the money when it does

 

I paid $3200 for my 86, if I remember correctly:





I paid $4000 for my 87, which I painted and sold back in 2008:

 

Nice!

 

Paid $1,000 for the RS from a co-worker. Bought it for my gal. has a V8, nice exhaust and is SO much fun to drive... Bought the Red 91 Z28 last weekend in Long Island, has a 5.0 auto and needs body work. I have an IROC donor car for the fenders, nose, ground effects (yes, I know I won't have scoops, never been crazy about the scoops..) Also have a 5.7 TPI from a 91 Z28 with auto trans, the car had 90,000 miles and I saw it run before it got pulled. Going to get the drive train in, then do the body work, then the interior. Will be red with black stripes on the hood and have that crazy



rear F40 wing.. Plan on having HP EVO's and an awesome sound system.. Stone

 

Just bought an '88 IROC-Z for my wife for $300. It's an LB9 TPI automatic hardtop car, in moderate shape - needs paint, minor bodywork, and a short block. RPO codes check out and the car is relatively unmolested. TPI Engine is complete but engine sat for 4 years and is seized with water in the crankcase. Already have a replacement block at the machine shop.

 

Just bought a 1988 5 speed convertible.The guy that had it was 65 years old and put 22900 kilometers on the car.It has original paint,roof and tires.The car honestly still smells new.The undercarridge is super clean.The other car in the picture the guy still has.It is a 92 with original paint,roof and tires{well worn}It has 55000 kilometers and im trying to buy it also.A couple of gems!

87 camaro lt paid $600 a month ago it a project for me. 87k on it

 

got mine for free 3 years ago but have put around $11,000 into it making it my dream car. The pic is from when i first got her.

 

pic comming soon

 

I bought my 83 Berlinetta a year ago for $750 w/83,858 miles, it has the 305 and TTops in it havent had to do anything to it yet and I take it out every weekend.

 

4000 grand 2 months ago and to me it was worth every penny

 

For that money I'd imagine it to be quite flawless.

 

Guys, are we forgetting the pictures? I love to see pics

 

FREE!!!! is the best!!!

got it from my dad (he is original owner since 1988)

265K ORIGINAL MILES when i got it from him... i probably added 35-40K for the 1 1/2 years i had it so im bout to break into the 300k soon

then its new engine time!

when my dad gave it to me. i already started the process of body work.





this is it after ive finished body work and paint. notice the red is a bit brighter.. didnt really like that contrast of dark red with the silver.. so yeah

 

I paid $2300 back in 2006 for it, completely stock down to the blown speakers and the paint was peeling off the roof and decklid. I wish i had some stock pictures of it.

Since then I'd say I've dumped about 6K into it, interior suspension, T5 swap
