Just picked up this nice 92!

Hey all, this is my 3rd F-Body, and the best so far. The pictures just dont do it justice, but still wanted to share. She has 165k and runs and looks like the day it came off the line. Just has the scrape on the back bumper, and needs a starter. Paid $1900, its a lifelong CA car as well. What you guys think?

Looks like a good deal for the price you paid. Did the scrape on the back bumper come from hitting the white Toyota in the pictures?

Thanks, I thought it was a good deal. I kept walking by it in my parking garage all the time and just found out where he lived and got it from him. No rust at all, the whole underbody is flawless as well. Im not sure what I want to do with it, its all stock right now and I may keep it that way. Any good suggestions for exhaust? I dont want something super loud but a nice rumble would be good. It has one but its from a pinhole in the muffler, sounds cool but would rather have it legit.

Re: Just picked up this nice 92!

I have a dynomax muffler with 3" piping and 3 and 1/2" tips and love it...just depends on your preferences...but since you have a pinhole in ur muffler i would start shopping around...good luck

Don't see too many 91-92 birds that don't have GFX, that AREN'T Formulas.

True. Mine is one of those, but I'm planning to convert it to a Formula

To the OP, congrats! that's a great find for the money. Gotta love the '91-'92's, not too many of them around.
