Howdy
Just dropping in to say hi. I just bought my second thirdgen,, a 1986 Berlinetta LG4 w/t-tops.So far I've only added Hedman shorties/y-pipe, Catco cat, and a Flowmaster cat-back. Next up is SFC's, and fixing a broken t-top lock.

Nice. Good luck with that. I had 2 third gens, but it was too much. I had to let one go. But atleast I still have my Notch!

LOL...I think I'd better clarify. This is the second I have owned, not the second I currently have. The first was a 1987 2.8L RS which is now owned by a friend and has a 383ci/TH350 in it.
I'll work on getting some pics later today, The body is fairly good, but has a really bad paint job right now. It's charcoal gray with red pinstripes, UGH.

No rust anywhere. She spent 99% of her life in New Mexico. Mechanically it's very sound, with only the usual wear and tear and a few leaky seals (rear main, valvecover gaskets, tranny tailshaft, etc.). Not too bad at all for 164k miles.
I got it for a decent price too, so lots of cash left for repairs and add ons.
OT, does anyone know of a way to recalibrate the digital speedo for taller gears and/or bigger wheels?
