That's actually a beautiful car. I don't think the pics do it justice, what kind of camera are you using.

I totally agree, it looks sweet! It looks to me like those are scanned 35mm quality pics... but it still looks good man!

Why are you gonna sell it?

Thanks for all the complements...I figured that I was going to get flamed for some reason due to it not looking as good as most cars on the board. I do feel my car looks unique with the powerbulge hood and the TA gfx.

Damn Roshambo ur too damn good...u guessed it 35mm pics scanned on the comp.

For all those wondering why I am selling it...well it looks like I am off to college in a few months...and I need a car that is better on gas...like an import...yuck. Guess I need to start lookin for a Diamante....b/c I cant have anything too sporty that will just eat gas...but I do like some imports...and I am sure I can find a decent one to hold me off until I get my next Fbody. I may just get rid of this...and use the money to put towards my new car...that my parents are going to help me get. Once I become an engineer(either electrical or mechanical)...then I can own a few Fbodies. I may just look for a project car in the next year or two. I may drive an import...but I will always b a thirdgenner....lol...no way am I gonna leave this board for an Uncle Bens board. Now I just gotta decide if I will get a 4th gen '98-'01 WS6 TA, a TTA, or a GTA as my next fbody...hmm....I guess I got plenty of time to decide. Thanks for all your complements/opinions.

Please let me know your honest opinions...dont hold anything back...I would rather have your honest opinions.

James

I found it wasn't mpg, but how it drives in the snow for me. That's why I left my car at home this semester. Where are you going to college? I only spent about $5 a week last semester in gas.

As of right now......it looks like I am going to Polytechnic University. I may go to Stonybrook....and very iffy on NYIT. It all depends on who gives me the best scholarship. But I did want to go to Cornell or Penn State....just I want to transfer after a semester or two....and going all the way to Cornell wouldnt be the best in a TA. Even goin to Brooklyn every day would kill me in gas.

:hail: Beautiful car, man. Mine is much newer and the paint looks worse! I get terrible gas mileage on the street, especially compared to my parents diesel mercedes, but on the highway with 3.08 gears the 350 gets an awesome 21-24 mpg!!! ...I think, maybe my calculations were a bit off, but it was pretty decent. You'll be on the hwy going to college right? Then when you get to school, your car'll just be parked, so what's the big deal? Get your friends to drive if you have to scoot around town for the bars or whatever! (What are friends for? )

P.S.
Georgia State is great; I get a train pass for $26/semester which beats $3 a day + gas or $160/semester to park in Atlanta!
