New To The Board

Hey everyone! I'm John, from Dayton, Ohio. I used to have an 89 RS until I totalled it in 2000.

It was originally white with garnet interior and a 2.8. After owning it for a couple years, I needed to make a change so I had it lowered 2" with a new paint job, arctic white with red pearl and candy red stripes and, at the time when it was cool, a Supra style wing. Also the interior has a speaker wall with 2 Kicker Comp 12's. And I added some 15x8" ARE polished 5 stars with BFG radials.

Then about 1999, I changed the paint again to a hugger orange, shaved door handles, redid the interior in all tan tweed, removed the wall and dropped in a built '76 Elky 350/TH350 combo. Before I totaled it, I had some things left to do like new rear gears and new front seats plus more engine goodies. I'll post some pic's if I can dig them up. Anyone in the area might remember it.

Right now, I'm trying to get rid of my 3 beaters to get a decent shell, motor and tranny. I need some good connections at salvage yards I think, lol

Well, now I have a TPI 'Vette motor lined up for $350, just need a body to put it in, computer, harness, valve covers, pushrod, rocker and t-stat housing, lol. Was in an 89 'Vette I believe that was in a head on with a tree, but the motor still runs. Any salvage yards around the Dayton, Ohio area willing to trade 3 decent vehicles for all parts needed, someone let me know, lol.
