its 18 guage sheet metal.. i started having a problem with the motor running at 220 degrees again so im redoing the hood. ill throw some pics of it up when i get it done

 

Gifted from my father. I am a few bucks into it now... Rebuilt L98, new paint etc. Lots of memories, I'll never part with it.

As the car stands as of last weekend.

 

irocs are beautiful damn my z28 haha

 

Some people have got some great steals on here that's for sure. I bought mine for $800 last August. All it need was slave cylinder and radiator cap. Took it up and down the road a few times then shattered a few teeth on the ring getting on it around a gravely turn. Once we parked it we noticed the trans mount and torque arm bushing were shot too. 1974 Sbc needed a tune up, so I tore it down. Hope to have it on the road late May early June. Ford guy that has fallen in love with this bird.

 

1989 Iroc-Z 5.7 with only 74,000 miles for $5800 last July. Since then I have roughly another $4,000 into it, and I haven't even touched any internal parts.

 

my 87 sport coupe, v-6 5 speed. got it as a you haul it away its yours deal. non running, locked trans. droped a 350 in it, and freed the trans up. im now doing the body work, trying to paint this summer. at this point i have about 1300 in all together, including the car

 

i like it, its got potential

 

500 for this beauty

 

hell of a deal

 

Why?

 

i love the square light... i put my tools inside there...

 

My guess is it's probably a lot nicer with a lot less miles than a $2k car.

 

Wow, and I thought I had a great deal when I bought my '91 Z28 for $3300. Pretty coincidental that you also live in Aloha, I can't believe I've never seen your car around.

 

i love my white camaro don't get me wrong, but nothing looks as good as a deep shine on a black thirdgen, why did i sell my black bird, WHY!!!!!!

 

$900 bucks 78,000 miles needed injectors, got the injectors for $120. Then bought the 16's for 500 it had the 15's. the only thing left wrong with it is a giant hole in the exhaust right before the cat. 305 tpi 5speed no pwer options factory deleted ac

 

one more pic of her good side lol

 

June 2009, paid 1700

and April 2012

 

I paid $2500, although the DOL thinks I paid $200...

I think since then, I've probably got around five grand (including a lot of things I haven't installed, like all my interior stuff. And I've had it painted twice!

 

$880 didn't come with headlight bar or hood hinges but ask body work just done and interior mint. Minor performance to motor.

 

After rattle can paint and new rims + Berlinetta style front bumper.

 

$2000 in November 2011. She was sitting in a storage shed for 6-7 years, parked there by the original owner who thought it had a bad motor. Turns out it was only the head gasket. While everything was apart, I installed an LT4 hot cam, did some port/polish work on the heads and installed heddman headers and y-pipe. She is showing 51,118 miles on the odometer

 

dem74 that is a STEAL, congrats on a fine GTA!

 

BEAUTIFUL CAR

 

Thanks 47! It's actually one of three crossfire cars I've actually seen in person (and you can imagine what they looked like)

 

you know theres a very good reason for that (i've heard terrible things about the crossfire

 

its not a fast car by any means, but I have seen crossfire corvettes that are mean as hell. The reliability issues are so bs, people are always griping about the tb's getting out of sync but that's really not a difficult fix. I did mine and I didn't even have a crossfire service manual.

Only thing I have against crossfire is the rearend honestly, you can really open these up if you have the patience. Induction design is great for torque and fuel economy, the exhaust is weak though and the intake is restrictive.

Simple fixes really. I just haven't gotten around to much of it.

 

huh, well then i reconsider everything i've ever heard about crossfire cars

 

haha well not so fast, they're still boat anchors stock, and mine is very stock!

 

wanna talk about boat ancors i got an l69, and apparently to most people if it aint a tree fiddy it aint no good, LAWL i'll see ya in 300k when your spewing oil and smoking like hell and im still running fine

 

haha amen to that! wish mine was a HO 5 speed personally, but I don't think I'll ever give my CFI up (I'm not a fan of it personally, but I'm not gonna be another jerk who rips his original 305 out for a carbed 350.) How many miles on yours?

 

just under 35k, hard to believe but documented proof under 35k, had 29 when i got her in september, this things a real time machine, had new brakes all around and a 4l60 swap by jasper when i got it, other then that and a posi a good rebuild on everything shes almost perfect, little bit of hood rust and the bumper/fender are an off shade of white do to a deer attack, but its amazingly clean

 

Is it the white car in your album?

 

yes it is

 

sweeeet I love those cars (prefer an 83 5 speed. That car got me into 3rd gens). What mpgs do you get with regular driving? I'll pm you

 

little over 20 but all my drivings highway

 

Paid $1000 for it in Feb. with no engine, it was a factory 305 tbi 5 speed car, previous owner had a carbed 383 in it, I feel like I over paid, i looked at running cars in the same price range, but 5 speed cars are hard to come by around here and I wanted it

 

nice, but those front tires look too small for the stock 15s what size are they?

 

I paid 1100 for mine this is how she sat the day I brought her home (upside down z28 emblem and all!)



At 1100 the interior wasn't in great shape, it had a running 305 and working T5 in it, but you could tell the engine was tired. Actual mileage unknown but the seller claimed it sat in a garage for the past 10 years. The motor showed signs of some problems when I bought it that ended up simply being a fuel pump leaking and not delivering enough gas. I replaced the fuel pump, water pump, and power steering pump right after buying it and drove it on that 305 for about a year and half before I replaced the engine.

Now 2 1/2 years and about ~12k later, she doesn't look a whole lot different from the outside, but the body is about the only thing that I haven't done work to and changed lol:


That pic doesn't show the new suspension which lowered the car a little, this pic isn't as good because she needs a bath, but shows how it sits with the new suspension at least:


~12k includes a rebuilt performance motor, T56 tranny, completely redone interior, all new sport suspension, reconditioned to look new iroc wheels + the best street performance tires for them that I could find, new 3" straight pipe exhaust flow master muffler and hooker headers, and lots of other misc stuff.

 

i beleve they are 205/65's, way too small for the car, it doesn't help that it doesn't have a motor in it, back tires are 255/60's they look pretty good

 

It amazing how price's continue to rise with these kind of cars. Hard to believe you could have bought a brand new GTA in the 80's for 20k. When i was looking at the new camaro's in Canada with 40k in your pocket you couldn't even look at the SS . Now i see guys picking up these sweet third gens for peanuts now. Crazy.

 

The problem with the Crossfire was more an issue of them being prone to catching fire from poorly-routed fuel lines, much like the V6 Pontiac Fiero. That more than anything led to their being discontinued.
Not to say that the basic premise, that is, a fuel injected version of the old crossram Z28 intake itself isn't a novel idea, it was just poorly executed with a horribly timed release. US cars were still in the clutches of the smog era, hp numbers across the board were abysmal, and it was simply too complicated of a system for too little performance gain. Had it been released later, with a more potent cam and engine tune, later and more accurate engine control electronics, and better fuel hose routing, the Crossfire may have been the dominant EFI system and negated the existence of the TPI, or at least delayed its inception. A ported and polished Crossfire with an aftermarket programmable ECM such as Megasquirt, a wideband O2 providing real time feedback and autotuning capability, a properly matched camshaft, Vortec heads or aftermarket, headers and unrestricted exhaust, and you could could have an impressively powerful and efficient setup.

 

Bought it from the original owner with all paper work, receipts, 87 service manual, owners manual, etc. 87 GTA bone stock with the digital dash and 3.27 rear with tags still attached and clearly readable. Zero rust and original FL car. Ran a CarFax and no accidents and passed emissions every year.

Paid $700. Sat for roughly 7 years so it's since got a new fuel tank, pump, sending unit. Top end freshened and now putting in Bosch III injectors and she'll be ready to fire. Also interior is all new. Tons more about this car as well.

 

$3500... '85 LG4 5-speed z28.

Wow, nice deal! Very clean and even has the new design t-tops weatherstips!

 

how many miles?

 

Bout this about 3 years ago when I was 18 for $250

 

$2,000 Last year put about $3,000 into her

 

Bought it from a guy a year and a half ago cuz his ex gf (who drove it) cheated on him and he wanted it gone. Paid $500. Twist to the story: guy she cheated with was a co worker.

 

love the paint, hate the dent, and also a co worker of yours?

 

Ya I wish I could somehow salvage the paint but the paint shops laughed at me when I asked them about it. Oh well. And yeah the guy she cheated with worked at the shop with me. I didnt know it was him for about 4 months though because I never brought it to work in that time. And sadly thats not just a dent. The B-pillar was moved in 9 inches measured from the top of the door line on the b pillar. Door and Fender replaced and B-pillar all fixed now
