Where to find Third Gen in NYC?

Alright guys, looking for an IROC-Z, Z28, Formula or GTA. Desperately searching right now. Right now, I have Craigslist, eBay and this loca Car paper under wraps. But I am asking some New Yorkers if they know of any for sale? It must be TPI, running, drivable. Ok if it needs work. No major rust or accidents. Price range up to $3000. Looking for around NYC maybe even LI.

Thanks in advance!

Car Buyers Market

Got my 1989 IROC-Z there, but that was 7 years ago. Just checked only one 3rd gen currently listed but check once a week. Here's a link to them:

Thanks Frank! Car Buyers Market is the paper I was talking about. I basically grew up reading it. (No lie.) I just bought the paper today, and nothing listed.

I completely forgot about Cars.com.


Thanks Again!

Sometimes, you'll see cars & parts listed on their web site that aren't listed in the print paper so check out their website.

Although the 87 listed is a carb car not a TPI

Dude do a google search for Z28 for sale in NY. That is how I foind mine. Ok I had to go somewhere in PA to get it but it was well worth the trip.

Good luck and I expect to see you at the Howard Beach shows in the Spring..
