Welcome aboard! How much are you wanting to spend? There's a few 3rd Gens among us Fbody people here on Oahu that are in various stages of completion.

Crazy Hawaiian has a '92 RS V8 that he's working on, plus there's a Z28 that one of his buddies has for $1,500 that needs some bodywork. There's a few others, but I can't remember each one.

My crib is across from Pearl Harbor and I work at Division HQ, Schofield. Recommend u start a new thread, "I want to buy a 3rd Gen" or something like that. Guarans you'll get responses.

Right now, most guys are probably working or drifting at the race track. Sorry, I dunno the body conditions, never saw the car, but CH is a pro and whatever he says will be the truth.

Hey welcome to the boards. Right now I have two 3rd gens that I'm willing to sell. One of them is a 92 RS with the L03 V8 for cheap but needs alot of work. Other one is a 92 RS B4C police package (1LE) with the L98 V8 that I'm in the process of restoring, but that one is gonna be somewhat expensive when it comes to 3rd gens. I also have a friend that is currently selling his 91 Z28 with the L98 V8 for cheap, but it needs some work. If you are interested in any of these, send me a PM and I 'll give you all the details. Laters.

I'd check out Shawn's cars or his buddy's if you don't mind workin' on them. We're all friendly here and are glad to help.

If you're interested in a 4th gen, I've got a couple on my lot. Both V8's, both autos (unfortunately). We can always go for a test drive, just come in and ask for Scott. I don't pressure guys to buy.

[Edit:] By the way, CrazyHawaiian is Shawn.

All the cars I'm talkn about are hardtops. I have a t-top 3rdgen, 89 RS but its just a shell at the moment, no engine, trans, or interior so I didnt bother listing it.

Greetings and welcome to the boards.

I'm seriously considering selling my '88 GTA, but not until I change the intake manifold gaskets out. It's fully loaded, digital gauges, leather seats and it's a L98 car. I was considering 2 grand for it, after I verify I didn't break stuff changing the intake gaskets out.

Paint need some help, and there's some surface rust on the hood. Aside from an Edelbrock cat-back and a 180 thermostat, it's bone-stock. It's the red car in my sig pic. I got a TTA in it's place, and once I get that thing tuned and running real mean, it'll probably be my daily driver, as it gets better mileage...!

Hey I just noticed that you used to own an '88 GTA. Imagine that... What color was it?

Adam, here's some pictures of it, in no particular order. Scott, I'll try to keep them small but I may go over the three maximum rule.

Easy way show more photos of your ThirdGen is to consolidate them with a photo editor, so one photo has like four images. Or simply link them from another ISP.

Very true, Ed. I wish I had a decent photo editor, though. I had to shrink the originals a lot, as they were bmp's and those things are pretty large, in comparison to jpg's. File compression is a good thing, yes?

I managed to e-mail a bunch to him directly, I hope he got them...! You did, right Adam? I won't add any more unless everyone wants to see it, and images of the car are floating around here already.

I like the way Ed always posts pics. I need to have him teach me one day.

If you did want a 4th gen, I double checked my lot. The '95 white T/A is going to be wholesaled last I checked, but I can dig through there today to find out more.

The White '02 Z28 is a hardtop. Looks like a pure stripper (with a/c, abs, of course) and the LS1. Minimum options after the V8.
