Yeah.

 

wow - well thanks - most appreciated!!! I thought that color was a pretty common color? it's like a metallic burgandy. maybe it is a different color than the standard burgandy though...I just assumed. it looks better in the pics than it does in person IMHO. the roof needs repainted...fading bad. the drivers side fender has a dent you can see in the pic. another small dent in the hood you can't see, and one of the fins on the hood vent is broke. oh - as most TA, the rear spoiler is falling apart....

it has a ton of potential, but I haven't had the funds to put into it. I do have a delima though - I have a 383 stroker I am thinking about putting in it, or a guy wants to trade me for a gen III 5.3 motor (similar to an ls1). what would you do?

 

I paid $1800 for my 86 Iroc in August 04. this is mostly how she looked when i bought her, except for the new tires.

 

ttt

 

I paid $1100 back in May 1999, and have dumped alot more cash into it over the last 7 years.

i paid $500 a month ago, its a 1987 IROC 5.7L TPI with 119000kms (aprox 74000miles). its gonna take some work but ill have it finished in no time.

 

I bought mine for 2500, 2 years ago. Came with 2 sets of rims/tires.
First car...just paid off.

 

A cut up shopping car for an engine stand, now there's an idea.

 

Here's mine. Bought October 24th 2006 for $1200 dollars. Since then the car has recieved a rear axle/suspension from an 01 WS6 TA and an aluminum LS1 Driveshaft. And has also got black 17x9 Z06 Wheels w/ Nitto 555r's.

Car 1200
Rear Suspension/ Axle 300
LS1 Driveshaft 75
Blk Z06's w/ tires 1200 (came off my old car)

Still has a v6 though, w 240k.

 

paid $300 for mine needs a tranny mount(which is a b**** to find(T-5)) and a rear-end...not bad for my first car and thirdgen!!

 

Paid $2000 with 88k on the odometer.....thousands of dollars later I created a headturner that still has less than 105k miles

 

$2800 for mine, probably got another $1000 in her

 

You gotta good deal, mine was 2,600 w/89kmi and in perfect condition. Although I got a base and you got the GTA, nice ride!

 

Thanks firstfirebird, Bought is from a lady in Seattle. She was the only owner and didn't know what she had. After doing a little research, I foun out they only built 262 with the options mine has. Looks like you got a pretty nice ride too.

 

Thanks, I'm the 3rd owner and still have the orig. window sticker and owners manual. It cost $14,488 new.

everything works, no fluid leaks, no t-top leaks, interior is in great shape. all nice and fung shue! (this pic sucks, i got rid of the blackouts!)

 

Just bought it on ebay a month ago for $950. has 120,000 miles needs a little body work.

 

Dec 05 bought her out of a resturant parking lot $950 with 208k

Now $2500 later and a ruined brand new paintjob

 

Not sure why it didnt like these in the same post

 

i guess i'll contribute to my own thread...haha

My first Camaro:

Bought it with 45,111 miles, Immaculate Condition, L03/700r4, Z03 package, untouched tan (I know, wtf...TAN!?!?) interior. It was on a new car dealers front line (a Ford Dealer no less!). They had it listed for $13,000. My dad got them down to $6750 because we had bought 2 new cars from the dealer previously. Needed Nothing.

My second Camaro:

Bought it with 29,xxx miles on it. Immaculate Condition. LB9/700R4, T-tops, power seats, Z03 package. Saw it on Ebay and called the guy up and made an offer. Sadly i dont remember what the agreed upon price was...i think it was $7500? However the car was in Illinois. So me and my dad had to fly out to pick it up. On the way home we discovered it needed a fuel pump and a radiator (due to it sitting for about 5 years in someones garage). Had to leave it in Indiana at a chevy dealer for 2 weeks while they fixed it. In the meantime, we ordered brand new tires because the ORIGINAL TIRES that were on the car were dryrotted (haha about about 14 years!!). So in the end including all expenses the car cost over $10,000.

 

4gs

 

Don't know how i ever missed this thread:
$4200 from original owner. Since then rebuilt 355, paint, interior. This is the first garage toy for my finace and I. and just under 102,000 miles

 

2800 Bucks with 100k on the body and 30k on the engine. Friend had it sittin in his garage for 3 years because it "hogged gas." lmao...

 

2700$ in 96

 

I bought it for $2000. its a 92 RS and has 113,000 miles on it. needs minor work but i love it.

 

i paid 2,200 southern north carolina car. 145k miles when i bought it now 153K. very clean car and wont be winter driven, sitting in dry garage now. engine came out of JY pervous owner replaced it. i have no idea how many miles are on it, but it runs good. dont know how many miles are on the trans either, i dont know if its original but it shifts good and doesnt slip.work already done: ac fixed, fuel tank replaced(filler neck was screwed up), 14" open air cleaner installed, brakes and rotors, centerlink replaced, idler arm replaced, cap rotor wires, reproduction headliner installed, new visors, door trim replaced. work to be done:exhuast to be replaced (out with the 2-1/4" system, in with the 3" hooker 2055s, high flow cat and a hooker catback), interior(carpet, seat apolstry), new carpet, paint, maybe a better cam, T-top gaskets, ect ect. i have noticed that you can buy these cars on the cheap but they get expensive if you want to fix a lifes worth of neglect. 2,200 was cheap for a southern never salted car, i live in buffalo so most 18 yr old cars are in the JY or are in terrible condition. the only thing thats been wrong so far is not rust at all but alot of cleaning sat in impound lot for 4 years and became a haven for rodents. found the remains of a small nest on the back of the manifold and in fender wells covered in a dirty residue. its all easy to clean up with some simple green. car was running when i bought it. impound owner told me he had to do some work to it to get it running and sellable.

i traded even up with my 1989 s10. The car needs some work but it has ALOT of potential.I t has a 305 v8. i hear it is the original engine because the t-top z28's only came with a 305. I am new to cars and i want this car to be fully restored. I plan to learn many things about these cars. Wish me luck.

The interior needed some work but for about 200 it will be very nice. I have almost all the stuff.

 

Sweet car, but why does it have an '87 decal package? The Iroc-Z door decals are mounted near the front of the door and striping is silver over black with no space in between?

I paid a little over $10,000 and she's appraised at $22,000 (Canadian currency). In Canada (and I believe in the US), there is an insurance clause called 19A. It is available from your regular insurance company (if you can't get special collector insurance). It states that the insurance company is to pay the recognised appraised value. It's another option for full coverage. Ask them about it for the details.

I bought this 1988 GTA in june 2006 for $2500.
It is my Daily Driver and I love every moment of it.

 

1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula V8 305. These cars are pretty rare for some reason. I bought her in Sept 06' for $3000 cdn. I am more of a Camaro fan than a Firebird fan but my all time favorite surprisingly out of the two brands is the 92 Firebird. She is my fav because of the teardrop front or bull nose as some people call it. I Just recently bought a new stereo and rear speakers but I have no pics because car is put up for the winter. Thats the first of many modifications I am thinking about. View the garage for bigger pics.
