Ok my family finally got the insurance settlement on my car. We got alot of money for it, but with me going to college in Aug., my dad needing a new work truck, and the fact that i didnt even pay for all of the car when we bought it...I'm not gonna be able to spend nearly as much money. We worked it out and I'm gonna have less than $4,000 to spend...and i want to see how much you guys paid for your cars and what they looked like. This should give me a good idea of what i can expect, or should expect to get in my price range.

 

bout 7000-7500 i dont remember.

I paid about half when i got it

and over the past year and half if put a good 3-3.5k into her.



thats cleaned up a week after i got it.

 

Steve, whatd you change your username or something?

 

yup i didnt like my old spelling on Steve, and my friends call me stevo so that wasnt taken and im using that

 

mine was $1750 and have $1000 in parts and im not real sure on the miles car says 98,200 but it could have 198,200

 

$5,600 back in 1997

 

$12,000 right here. reason being is it had 32,xxx on it when i got it 3 1/2 yrs ago






EDIT: the IROC was $1,300 but it looked like a pile of crappo when we got it. so that doesn't really help cuz it doesn't look like that anymore

 

$4200 110,000K Autotrader Dealer Of course $6000.00 later it looks like it does.

 

Bout a thousand bucks. Pics are in the link in my sig.

 

$2000 and a $100 rear end, 102K on it, 200 miles on rebuilt motor and tranny.

 

$2900..had a few glitches when i got it but they are all worked out now.

 

600 bucks passenger side was pretty smashed up though was green gray, but after fixing it I painted it flat balck, and then I hit a deer thats why theres a red hood the picture kinda sucks was taken with cell phone, but is the only good picture I have right now.

 

$6,000 2 years ago, it had 48,xxx original miles when i bought it

 

Hi,
My 87 Formula was $13,260 in October of 1986, with 112 miles on it(Scherer Buick/Pontiac's owner's wife was driving it when I bought it). After almost 20 hard years and 223,000 miles, it is now being restored in my driveway.
A word of wisdom to all-NEVER, EVER SELL YOUR TOYS. EVER!!!!

(Going by some of the listings on EBay, the various cars I have sold and disposed of-71 Challenger Convertible, 69 Dart Swinger, 3-1968 Roadrunners, 74 Charger SE, etc. I'd have been in the 6 digit range for musclecar investments. DARN!!!)

 

I paid 2000 about 4 years ago with a new engine and 100 tho on the clock!

 

1983 Z28 Carb 305 - $1800

 

I paid $10,000 for my 89.

 

$2,000 when we first got mine. Only major mechanical problem was a busted motor mount. And the usual third gen aches and pains (still workin on those )



This picture is after I cleaned it up a bit.

 

1988 Formula, $1700. bought it in May 2003.

 

i only paid $3100 for the GTA...


and i think the Z was about $600? i dont know...

 

$2700 for the red one, and $2500 for the blue one.

Red one had 64,000 on the clock, and took $400 to get road worthy.
Blue one had 105,000 on the clock, and 10,000 on a re-built 350. Took about $1000 to get road worthy.

There's a couple third gens for sale up here in the Stroudsburg area, not show stoppers like yours, but pretty nice rides as far as I can tell from the outside. PM me for details.

 

2850 was the inital buy in. i was young and prolly coulda found better but i love her because shes all mine. looking at all my reciepts ive got around another 5000 into her between suspension, paint, brakes, and misc upgrades.
