Looking for a car

Hey guys, just figured I'd ask some locals if anyone is selling a 3rd gen. I'd really like a blue camaro, but a bird is fine as well. Body and interior must be in acceptable condition. In other words no major dents, rust, one or two cig burns is ok, no torn seats or rotting headliners. Don't care what kind of an engine, preferrably V8 but will accept a V6. I'd also prefer manual trans and something under 140,000 miles. Car has to run well, this is an important factor. If you've got a 3rd gen you're sellin and it's not blue, pm me anyways. Don't really want red, but tell me if you've got one anyways. Green, yellow, black is fine. ABSOLUTELY NO WHITE CARS. Lookin' for 2,000-3,000 price range but if you're askin more, tell me why and I'll consider. Keep in mind I'm not lookin to buy RIGHT now, I've got to save up a bit more money. Some of you are probably wondering why I'm looking for another car when I've got an 87' T/A that just needs a new engine. Well that's simple. I've decided to make 1 of 2 choices. Buy a new engine (I've got my mind set on one) and make the mods that I'll need for good performance at the same time, which in the long run will end up costing me a tad over 5 grand, or buy another car. Why buy another car? Well that's because I'm in some major debt right now, not professional but personal. They're willing to wait until I have my car problems sorted out but I don't want them to wait too long. Alright just PM me if you've got somethin. Thanks.

Got it done, huh? I take it it must have turned out pretty good. Soulrev, I'll have a blue '91 RS with a 305 TBI for sale in a few weeks for about $3000. I've got three cars already listed on the Midwest board for anybody who's interested.

Hey Denny, did you ever get that IROC or any of your other prospect cars?... All I have left on my car is a little bit of assembly work. It came out pretty nice. Quite proud of it actually. I'll have to bring it by your place before I let it go... probably end up wanting to get some to get some bullsh*t detail parts from you anyway.

Cool, I'd like to check it out. I did pick up the '85 IROC. All I've got left to do is pull the doors and drivetrain. Hopefully it will be done this weekend. I'm getting an '87 IROC hopefully within the next couple weeks. I'm trading that black '91 Z28 for it. This is usually a good time of the year for me to pick up quite a few good cars. However, right now I've got all my money tied up in the four I'm selling so I don't have much left to pick up any parts cars. Hopefully I'm able to get rid of at least one of my cars soon and roll the money into a few parts cars before winter comes.

Andy, I'll be posting some good pictures within the next week. I gotta do a little work yet. Ask around if anyone you know would be interested. Denny - good luck selling those cars... if I could, I'd take the blue & silver TA but I think I had better stop screwing around with these thirdgens and finish my '79.

Are you set on trading it, would you sell it for the right price?

ya know what I might be pickin up a used 305 for 100 bucks and throwing it in there just to get the damn thing on the road again so I can pay off my debts. What do you guys think? I really don't want to put a 305 back in it but I guess I could do the upgrade later on. I don't know, I've really gotta think about it..

If your going to get a used engine from someone, and do all the work involved in a swap, you might as well get a 350 that runs for 300-400.

The car is definitely either going to get traded or parted out. The car is missing the engine and trans and I'm trading it for a complete '87 IROC. If that deal falls through I'll part the car out. Hey Soulrev, if you decide to get a 350 I can get you a good complete engine ready to run for $350.

Hey soulrev, my buddy is selling a ? year A4 IROC for $1800 OBO. It's black w/ t tops, gold IROC letters on the side. It looks really good. I think its a 305. Its a TPI. He just had the tranny rebuilt last week, I don't remember how many miles it has on it. It's a really good deal IMO.

What was wrong with the tranny? I don't wanna end up stranded somewhere like this guy is outside of our store right now. He's driving a 93 Chevy truck, diesel engine and I guess the guy had a seal near the pump go out on it and he's been working on it for several days now. He's been there since Thursday morning and is still sitting there as we speak. He's from Oklahoma City and he delivers campers for a living, he just went bankrupt for the second time in his life and he's basically screwed. I feel sorry for the guy but I don't know enough about transmissions to give him a hand with it. Anyhow, that IROC... Is the body solid? No rust? Paint look fine? Engine make any funny noises? Is it hard to start? Interior clean and in good condition?

Hey bro, instead of answering all these questions (I'm not too sure about most of them) I'll give you his #: (219) 364-1354 Just say your calling about the camaro. Even if you don't have money right now, just call and get the info about it, the guy who is selling it is real cool. Tell em Dave Baker Told you about it
The last time I rode in it, the paint was awesome, the interior was immaculate, and it ran good. It's been about 6 months though, a lot of things can go wrong in 6 months. The tranny was rebuilt, you don't have to worry about it messin up on ya.

If you want a 91-92 bird--check out the post about 91-92 firebirds on the midwest board-- the green TA is mine and I am thinking about parting ways with it.

Brian -- you told me to let you know when I was ready to let it go-- I think that I am ready!!!
