If you are looking to go fast forget about the V-6.....just my .02

If you have model numbers or any info about the speakers or TV i will take those off your hands so you can make some money back from the car.....

With all the stuff, I'd say that it's well worth it.

Actuly its not all you need is a V8 Trans You can get a Turbo350 trans for 500 bucks Brand new and A V8 you can get a Crate engine complate from pan to Carb for 3grand and its got overe 300 Hp right out of the Box So basicly the only things you need now is engine Mounts and the Engine Accessories (most of the Accessories can be found at a Junk yard Cheap)

So for around 4 grand in engine and Trand work you can have a Mid 13sc car

But thats just my .02

If you want power, I wouldn't get it unless you want to swap out the 6 and throw in an 8. If you want show/looks, it sounds like a good deal to me.

Sounds like it's pretty loaded up. I've owned both the V6 (albeit the 2.8L) and the 305, and there's really no comparison. The V6 is a decent motor, but it isn't nearly as fun as the V8.

my first f body was a 89 rs camaro (z28 lookalike) with the v6 5sp and i always thought it would be fun to find one or two turbo setups from the pontiac grand prix gtp. 3.1 turbo you know? Just a thought.

2000 dollars is not bad for any car that could pass inspection with little work to get on the road..

Screen 250,
dvd 100-200,
speakers 50-300 depending on brand,
Amp 100-500 depending on brand and power

So you are looking at about 500+ in electronics

So I would buy it if I had 2k
