Found some ads in a local magazine and wondering what yall think is the better deal.

89 Pontiac TA GTA-white,t-tops,new starter, new alt, flywheels, runs good--$1500

87 Iroc Camaro-350 lt1 bottom and w/ double hump 327 Corvette heads, (202,160), 750 Chrome dbl pumper, headers, built trans., needs windshield & hood--$1500

86 Pontiac TA- good body, clean, trans slips, rims, --$600

86 Pontiac TA- clean, ttops, black, trans slips,-- $900

Dont know the condition of any of these cars because they did not have pics. What do yall think?

Well,
I'd go the '89 GTA!
The '87 you may have to smog, and the '86s had low horsepower!

Either way, enjoy,

George

i was thinkin that since i knew the GTA would have a lot more horses and ttops never hurt. I would just have to paint the rims black or something. Im tired of gold rims because thats whats on my jeep because its a limited.

I'd go for the GTA. They are usually well equipped with options.

Depends on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for a reliable daily driver, I'd go with the '89.

If you are looking for a project I'd go with the black '86.

For those prices I wouldn't expect perfect cars. There is always that deal out there though, I got my 93,000 mile blue '83 T/A for $240 and it runs great. The interior is also great, but the original paint is faded.
