1985 Trans am 90% restored
I have a 1985 trans am for sale for 2500. I bought this car back in April for 3500. Put a new transmission in it and some engine work. I have a total of about 7000 in the car currently with the purchase price. This car would be very easy to complete. I also have a 383 stroker short block I would be willing to add into the sale for the right price. Will trade for a quad

Re: 1985 Trans am 90% restored
are the cylinders stuck or what? pour some fuel oil in each cylinder. If you cant get it in the plugs, just pour it down the carb. Fuel oil works numbers on stuck engines. Let it sit for a week. gently try to rock the engine back and fourth. nothing too crazy. Ive seen some engines that were "stuck" come back to life. Wonder if your pistons wernt fit correctly or what...

Before it seized it made a god awful noise sounded like something was rubbing metal wise. we checked the top end and ever thing seemed fine, I think a bearing might if broke lose in the bottom end. It broke a valve stem 3 weeks prior to it completely dieing

Re: 1985 Trans am 90% restored
Transmission is brand new under warranty for atleast 8 months. I have the paperwork for it. This isn't your average car with a blown engine therest about 10 to 12,000 dollars worth of parts in this car. If buy it for 3 grand I'll throw in a 383 short block
