Looking Through The Local Trade...

[Cory Wolfe]

Noticed the latest Trade sitting in the living room, so I read through it. Some interesting vehicles in it. I'm used to just seeing 80's junk in it...

1970 Plymouth Road Runner, matching numbers, mint condition, multiple show winner. $39,000, OBO.

1970 Chevrolet Camaro, 4 speed, partially completed. $7000, OBO.

1935 Plymouth touring sedan, with title, can be restored. $3900, OBO.

1967 Chevrolet Impala SS, 396, auto, a/c, bucket seats, console, new interior, 42k miles, fresh original engine, fresh trans. $16,900.

1965 Chevy II Nova station wagon, 4 door, restoration started. $2500.

1960 Ford Thunderbird, 2 door, rare 430 V8, auto, a/c, bucket seats, unrestored cond, great project car. $1200, OBO.

1964 Pontiac LeMans, original 64 GTO hood, 4 speed trans and emblems, 71 GTO 400 V8, 24, 632 miles, excellent frame, needs restored. $6500, OBO.

Just thought I'd post about it...

[FAPTurbo]

Heh. In my paper, were two Camaro's.

One 1968 with a rebuilt V8 for $3500, and a 1969 with a dropped in 454 for $5000.

I'd love either one, and could afford the initial costs...

...but realistically, I'd enjoy just leasing the new Camaro... or perhaps a two year old Mustang. :AH-HA_wink:

I think I want to get a Cadillac Catera for kicking around, for a second car. Maybe, or maybe I just want to get rid of my car altogether and get an automatic car, stick in this city, in the primarily city driving I do, sucks!

[Cory Wolfe]

Hmm... this might be the sexiest non concept Grand Am GT I've seen. Clicky

Well, the tail lights are fairly ridiculous, but other than that its pretty nice. Seats in the back look like they might be kinda dirty...which immediately makes me wonder what went on back there.

[Sixty8panther]

1935 Plymouth you say.... $3900 is either cheap for beater/driver

or a bit too much if it's some rotted out shell with a missing drivetrain.

[NOS2006]

Well, if anybody is looking and ends up seeing a 1967, 1970-73, 1987-1992 Camaro with a running 350, automatic, and T-Tops let me know! My dad wants one as a project car.

[ocnblu]

That's a goodlooking GA, Vipes. I'd like to see an SE coupe (less cladding) in that color, done like that (except with the factory, dark GT taillamps), without a spoiler. That would be righteous.

Hehe, I just realized what I posted. OK, an SE coupe, in that color, with darkened headlights, factory, smoked GT taillamps, tinted windows, and those rims. Sweet.

I haven't seen Camaros that cheap....cool

Heh... well, the SE looks too cheap to me. I can overlook cladding. If I had the money to buy a GA like that... and the extra to do some custom work, I'd just smooth the cladding out, like the Hot Wheels and GXP concepts.

[ocnblu]

I wish I had a picture to post of that red SE coupe of this generation Pontiac built with "3.4L H.O." performance parts. It was a sweet, clean little car.

[Sixty8panther]

1969 Camaros are usually basketcases for $5000, add the 454 and it's

almost certain to be a rotted out, buttered up rlling disaster on wheels.

Back in 2002 when I bought my 1968 for $5000 it was because I had

given up on finding even a I6 powered '69 automatic.

[Cory Wolfe]

Fiero? Hmm... 1988? Go on. GT? Mmm... 5spd? Awesome... T-Tops? Hmm... How much? $13,500? What? Oh hell no. Clicky. Then, there is this one for half as much, minus the T-Tops. Clicky... I'm a Pontiac mood as you can see.

Well, there goes my hope...

Though I would take any years of that Camaro.....

[Sixty8panther]

Seems like the best bang/$ right now is a 3rd gen.

Buy a solid one for like $800 and drop in a $3000

SBC mated to a 6-speed and you've got a hell of

a muscle car for less money than a beat up 120

horsepower FWD Honda Civic.

[NOS2006]

You are what you eat. Would you like your Fiero toasted?

Bad pun, I know.

Got any good pics of those...

Hmm... this Formula 5spd is like... affordable. Very affordable. Clicky

And a very clean Grand Prix GTP. Clicky. Not to mention a cheap Turbo GP. Clicky

[ocnblu]

The Fiero and the blue GTP look good, not so sure about the Turbo.

[Sixty8panther]

An associate of T.W. just traded his 1984 Camaro for a Turbo G.P.

[Sixty8panther]

Last night SpeedingPenguin & I drove down in the Q45 to Sturbridge so I could

take a 2nd look at the '59 Buick. God I want that damn car, like LAST WEEK.

On the way back in 01* cold we're driving down Rt.20 when out of the corner

of my eye in a dark dirt parking lot next to a steel building I see the nose of a

1980s Cadillac. Even though it's a split second glance I'm almost sure it's a

Bustleback Seville, def. either that or a Fleetwood Brougham, so I get over to

the breakdown lane and back up a few hundred feet. It turns out to be a 1984

Seville with ~85K miles and a rebuilt Jaser engine. It's rotted and tacky, gold

and bronze TT, fake continental kit built into the trunk, chrome straps on the

rear and a sunroof.

The guy poured $3900 into it for the motor and and a bunch of other repairs

so natrually he's asking $2400.

[Cory Wolfe]

I have such odd tastes... Clicky

[ocnblu]

Odd? Not in this case. :AH-HA_wink: The Mark VII is a lot nicer than the square box Mark VI, and I like it better nowadays than the Mark VIII. The Mark IV and the Mark VII are my favorites of the Mark series. Good choice, imo, and from what I understand, this model's air suspension has proven more reliable than the others. For a Ford engine, you can't beat the 302 for reliability and ease of modification. You should ditch the Millenia for this.

[Cory Wolfe]

A curiously cheap 1998 Grand Prix. Clicky

A nice 5 speed GP turbo. Clicky

A cheap (for its rarity, anyways) yellow 1988 Fiero with T-tops. Clicky

A tempting Firebird with the 3.8L and a manual. Clicky

A sweetly modded Sunfire GT... it's probably like new. Clicky
