Should be a 3.73, I'd think.

I didnt look under it but the rpo code in the console is gs4 which is 3.70 gears which would make it a nine bolt ..

Re: i feel like i went back to 1985 and bought a new car today
 
Very nice car, and extremely clean.

That is a nice combination. L69 with 5 speed and borg warner 3.70 posi disc rear. The 3.70 was only available in 85/86 I thought with the 3.70 gear.

Super clean car and with paper work.

Mark.

Excellent find, stunning car. Its amazing how many very low mileage 3 gens out there.

Best of luck with this beauty.

Re: i feel like i went back to 1985 and bought a new car today
 
Very well done. Congrats.


At 10k miles, it's just mechanically broken in. Hopefully the 10k miles were spread over the past 31 years instead of having accumulated those miles all in the first year.


How does it perform?

i just took it out a couple of hours ago and it runs like new .. trans shifts perfect and it handles like a new car .. felt like i was driving a new car off the dealerships lot , nice and tight .. i am a little worried about high speeds on the factory gatorbacks though ..

Re: i feel like i went back to 1985 and bought a new car today
 
If it was me I'd get new rubber put on and store the factory gator backs. Those are real old tires to be risking that nice of a car on. Beautiful car!

Wish they'd release those repro Gatorbacks already!

man that thing is mint, I would hold onto it for a little while and see how you like it before selling it again. a car that mint is pretty hard to find.

I get that exact feeling you speak of each time I climb into my car. The smell of the interior is the same smell my 82 z28 had back in the 80's and immediately triggers that feeling of youth. A cruise in my IROC through my hometown with Eddie Money's "I want to go back" playing on the Bose and I'm instantly transported back to 1986!
