86-90 Trans AM

I am going to start my Trans Am hunt- now that i am with out and the itch only 7days old is killing. I am starting alittle early with my hunt cause its not like i have 4-5grand to buy with.

So in short- project wanted-interior and exterior i am not to conserned about- driveline- has to be atleast good shape.

I think the rule will be...if i can drive it home-ill buy it.
So
even out of state guys let me know.

Re: 86-90 Trans AM

I live in NJ and have a 90% complete firebird. Its not a trans am but everything is perfect except for a dent in the door and the 305 is out. I wanted to hot rod it since it was a really good car and pulled the 305 to be replaced with a 400hp 357ci. Im selling it without the engine for around $3500 and with im selling $4700. Make an offer if you want pics upon request: mikesammy@rocketmail.com or txt 6094330090 you wouldn't be able to drive it home but I could tow it for you.

Re: 86-90 Trans AM

Im over in lancaster pa (not too far), I have an 87 gta 305 tpi. I have a complete black interior except for the seats. I currently have the 700r4 out because I was going to swap in a t56 but it runs fine and I could put the trans back in for you given a day or twos notice. its red with a grey passengers door, couple minor dings and no spoiler. I'd like to get about $1000 out of it, its less than what I have in it, but its been a fun car. I have the complete t56 swap as well as some other go fast stuff if youre interested as well. Great car but Im buying a house and dont really have the time or money at the moment, let me know if youre interested, in more info.

Damn...dude- sweet offer, that would be a great way to jump back in to the TA's...i am at 10days and i think i am going threw withdraw...i followed a 69 firebid that sounded like the fraggle rock guys were operating the motor...just to see if it would be for sale...what the hell am i thinking i thought afterwards...

but as i mentioned- dude i dont have 4-5g's....if i did. i call yeah, but i was in a bad pinch to sell my baby (dream car) and i am only able to kinda start hunting now, because i got a good comission check (not always this good)...but even then- not that good either...

Taxes come around next month but money is already spent-so i am kinda stuck....granted. I could land some good airbrushing giggs in the next few weeks and that'll help get close to your mark...but that is not 100% either.

in short....airbrushing = trans am money...

i wil keep your info and if i get something/you have it still-ill make an offer, but i am a respectful person and wouldnt unless it was a fair offer...

believe me-i learned how a$$ backwards some people can be- during the selling of my TA-GTA....some of the offers -were just insaulting...

Re: 86-90 Trans AM

Thanks guys.

Like i said i am hunting a little sooner then i should but i cant help it. But this is something i gotta get soon...i cant take it!!!! driving me nuts- i have spent hours on craigslist looking all over and every city (think i am up to texas now) lol
but really would hate to have to figure out how the **** ill get anything home that far away.

i believe i replyed to everyone so far and am in contact with the offers to see what panns out...

think is- may have to just get two-because the deals are so fair.

man i need a million or atleast a better profession
