call me crazy but i just bought another v6!
well here is the story. drivin bytthe body shop thats right up the road from my house i see there wrecker has a white firebird hooked up on the back of it. its looked ok but i seen that the pass door and quarter panel was messed up a little. later today i stoped by and walked in. the owner knows me. i didnt see the bird sittin around anywheres. he says to me i got a car for you andy... and i say what u got... he says well i just got a 92 firebird in and the kid who owns it only wants $100 for it.... i said damn is that the white one i seen earlier. he says yea go take a look at ti its out back.... i walked out back and there it sat. pretty clean car besides the pass door and quarter being smashed. i opened the door sat in it and turned the key. she started right up and sat there purring like a kitten. poped the hood and there sat a 3.1 mpfi (figured because it was a 92) i got back in it ran it through all the gears and it shifted just fine. interior was a little dirty though. the only thing i seen wrong with the car is the pass side problem which is gonna get fixed. long story short the kid is gonna have larry (collision shop owner) put a quarter panel in it then im buying ti off the kid for $100. so i got myself another v6. one more ques what does a good runnin 92 bird 3.1 auto run in the quarter?

Wow that's one hell of a deal. The kids parents must want him to sell the car, If they are anything like mine were they complain every day how I will kill myself with the V6. So I showed them my friends geo storm with a 3cylinder and they gave up trying to get me to sell the 6.

huh, the guy is paying for a Q panel to be put in then selling it for 100 bucks??? Im sure he will spend more than 100 to get the work done. i bet he ment $1000.
a I would just give that dude the 100 fast and screw having th body work done, he may decide too keep it.
Id call the guy now and give him the 100 asap. and get the title and keys.

You will have to post some pics when you get it. $100 is such a sweet deal.

Great Deal! Anyway our 3.1 Camaro has run a 10.84 1/8 mile, which would be according to some people a high 16 in the 1/4. Thats stone stock, 3.23 gears, street tires and my 125lb wife in the passenger seat. I just didn't have the heart to push her out when that new Altima in the other lane was coming by!

yea when the quarter gets put in it also needs a pass door im gonna put that in and have a half decent paint job put on it then drive it for a while then resell it. its not really a bad car. yea that exactly what the collision shop owner said to me. this kid must have hit his head to sell it for that cheap. lol
