i asked this on the tpi board but got like no responses so ill try here

I was talking to this guy the other today, hes selling his car its an 87 transam 305 tpi, 74,000 miles t tops , this awesome like dodge viper blue color mint condition. He was asking 5k for it. You guys this its a good buy and worth it. Id probably have to sell my 92 rs after i buy it though.

I was thinking maybe trying to talk him down to 4,600 -4,800

auto or manual? That's a lot of money for an '87. I probably wouldn't buy a thirdgen before '88 and preferably get a '91-92. Build quatlity, WC T5, Roller cam, more power all come to mind. I also probably wouldn't get a 305 TPI if I wanted to mod it A LOT. A 350 TPI would be a different story though.

Where in NY? Wait a few months and I'll sell you my car for ~$3500, it WILL be in the 13s by then on street tires and full weight. It's also a metallic blue.

its an auto , i probably woulndt mod it A LOT , probably just .... cat back, cai, better runners, maybe 3.42 gears and headers.
I dont realy need that fast of a car id be happy with 14.6-14.8

The 87 have roller cams, thats the first year they used them, along with centerbolt heads.

There are a lot of thirdgens out there, and honestly if I were to buy another Camaro now after owning one and being on this board I would be very selective with my next buy. I would go for a 91-92 model year because I love my 91 style and I'd make sure it had a 350, but that's just me.

eh i dont like the 91 and 92 transam noses at all, but the 350 tpi would defitnitly be a plus if it had it.
