My 9th f-body!!! 1990 Firebird for under $1,000

9th f-body I've owned!! Just picked it up yesterday for under $1,000! Has original paint and runs pretty darn good. Got the ole V6 and t-tops. It has a few minor issues (like what one's don't?). Have not had a chance to wash it yet, but let me know what ya think...

i think it needs an engine and drivetrain overhaul, using a V8. what are your plans with it? any rust?

Nope, no rust at all cause its always been a Cali car. For now this is my daily driver so I will keep the V6. But a juiced LS2 would be nice!
