I am restoring my 85 Bird that only needs the body shell for an automatic transmission. I live in SW Ohio near Dayton. I have some transportation for pick up. I HAVE hood, fenders, 2 hatch backs, front and rear suspension , engine,automatic transmission , rear end and wheels. I will consider anything .Thanks, Frank

 

A rolling chassis in a third gen is everything except the engine/transmission. There is no removable chassis. It's all part of the body.

What exactly are you looking for?

If you have just a body then you need all the suspension components and yes they are all interchangeable from 82-92

 

Yes I need the body without the fenders, hood, doors and hatchback. I understand it is unibody but did not know how to describe what I need. I have the steering , rear springs, engine tranny and rear end. Thanks for the years that are interchangeable.

 

You will probably be better off finding a complete car.

 

Ok, you need a new body, any year will work, I would stick with an 85-90 just because I think they are slightly better sorted out that 82-84.
You should specify ttops or not and auto or manual trannys.
You will also need to post your location , not like it's going ups.

 

I have two body's shells, one is a t top titled GTA 1989 and the other is a hard top titled GTA. they have been in my shop out of the weather with ZERO rust anywhere. the t top is NOT a roller, it is stripped to its nuthins. the hardtop does have the rear axle and front end under it, other than that there is not a thing left on this body. Now the real question.... where are you?? cuz that can be a deal breaker for allot of people. I am in Utah.

 

KBD85 Thanks , either one sounds like what i need. I live in SW Ohio near Dayton but I have friends that travel to pick up cars. I will check with them about transpo. In the mean time what do you need for either one? Thanks, Frank

 

KBD85 What transmission are they set for ? Manual or automatic? Thanks,Frank

 

well the hard top would be the one we could roll around if needed. i have them on a local site here for 200 for that one and 150 for the t top one. the reason i have the t top one lower, not only cuz there is nothing on it drive train wise, but it has a funny dent on the back floor near the hump. So if i was recommending one i would go with the hard top. I would want to send a bunch of pics first tho just to make sure your good with what it all looks like. Let me know, Ken.... oh and they are both set up for auto, nothing left if the t top one at all, like its stripped to the firewall. The hard top i cant remember if pedals are in there. I would have to look and see for ya.

 

Frank, i just sent you a PM with my email so I can send you some pics if you want

 

This guy has a decent roller up for sale:

OK Ken Sounds like the hard top is best. . Pictures of the under body is what I need most. What year is it? I will start looking for transpo. Thanks ,Frank

(my email is in a personal message under your name) ill also take a pic of the title for ya to see all the info there

 

Ken I sent a PM to you.
