Barn find 1983 CFI transam, sitting since 1991, 19k orig miles, opinions on starting?
History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!

Regal turned out to be a pile, cant find a buyer for it, so i may end up parting it out, and using the drivetrain for my daughters car, Not sure yet.
Biggest news so far, I have a lead on a pair of firehawks, a 91, and a 93, i am dropping everything to go look at those when the weather turns around and the snow melts, we got over a foot of snow last night!

Cant find a buyer? There are probably about 2-3 buyers for that car in this very thread. I'm one of them. Shoot me a PM on price and more details on the car.

Regal is sold, I did manage to go pickup two other cars i got called about, Ugh, still have a dozen more to still go get, Looking into buying a gooseneck 3 car hauler.
Here's a few pics of the ones i just picked up.
87 transam, Fully loaded with from what i can tell, every option, aside from engine, has the 305 LG4.
91 formula 350 g92, loaded up with options, sadly its missing some stuff, Likely going to be a parts car.

How on earth are you finding all these cars? Like others said, I watch for stuff like this & I am either not booking often enough, or my timing is horrible..
Not saying there isn't cars around me for sale, but they are usually the furthest thing from a survivor & are normally overpriced for the "extra work" they received over the years.
You seem to be landing a lot of untouched cars. Or is this something you have been doing for years & people contact you? We have a guy like that in our town. His name has been around in the car biz for decades & people from all zip codes call him when they don't know what to do with a car. Not a bad problem to have.

My 87 I had was the same. Typical loaded Trans am, but carb'd 305
This was in 1989. looked just like this one but had the silver ground effects. was an awesome looking car. First time I drove it at night I thought it had the best backlit dashboard on the planet.

I've been super busy, and got sick, so haven't done much, but here's the 87 I picked up, this weekend I have a bunch to go pickup, plans for the firehawk are still a go, just waiting on the time to go get it.

Picked up another that I got a call about, poor girl is rough, but it's a base model 83 firebird, 305/5spd blue/blue interior, too rough to save, so it's up for a full partout.
also picked up a new trailer, 24 foot gooseneck, 14k weight rating with hydraulic disc brakes on both axles....I'll never go back to another 7k bumper pull, again...it pulls sooooo much nicer .

Just scrolled all the way through this thread for this first time, got to PurelyPMD's post above and thought, "Ugh! That's it? There's not more?" Lol Fascinating thread, all the way around!
