I cant really comment on price, check kbb.com for that, but the 350 was offered beginning in 87, so you'd be lookning for an 87-89 car. "Must be very reliable".... just remember that an 89 is 13 years old now, its never going to be as reliable as a new car unless you buy a new engine, tranny, rear end, suspension, brakes, etc, etc. You can have a reliable old car, just dont get pissed if it ocassionally has a problem.

hope this helps!

I got my 88 GTA 5.7 for $2,500 about 3 years ago, with 112,000 miles on it. Really whips the head back. I had to put a new computer in it about 2 years after I bought it. No other probs, though.

I got my 305 T/A with 60,000 original miles and a perfect interior for $2500. This car is in great condition, the body is perfect. The only problem is the paint on the roof. My car was made in Van Nuys so it got the bad paint

Well, in July of 2000, I paid $2200 for my 89 GTA. 350/auto/t-top. Fully loaded. Just needed paint. Had 90,000 miles on it when I got it. But Id say up to maybe $4000, maybe a little higher for what youre looking for.

For what its worth, I paid $1500 for my 82 t/a in summer of 2000, with about 90k miles on it. Body in very good condition, faded interior, basket case engine.
