Bought a TURD!
 
Well with the nice weather coming, I finally gave in and bought a third gen yesterday. The price was right and it's pretty darn majestic. Better pics will be up soon.

87 GTA
130k on body...3k on the 350 and th400
Interior needs a cleaning.
Bodys not perfect...its a good 10 footer (worst is on the stupid rubber spoiler)
Needs: headlight motor, finish painted firewall, exhaust...nothing major at all, even had a chance to take it around the block when I brought it home :wink:

Try opening that little part of the motor that the metal contacts in it and just try cleaning them off. I remember when the headlights on my 86 stopped going up pulled those contacts out and cleaned them and they worked until i got rid of the car.

very nice!!!!

Untamed 03-09-2010 01:47 PM

Nice choice. Is that the one that was for sale in Berkley Heights or somewhere near there? Third gens are easy to work on, even for non-mechanics. Have fun with it!

yeah the paint is peeling and cracking like crazy. i definitely need one, in the process of looking for one now.

btownws6 03-10-2010 12:33 PM

looks good i was looking at that one too but i bought too many already haha good luck with it it looks like it'll be some fun

IROCZman15 03-16-2010 03:33 AM

glad ur enjoying it mike. looks like u already got it cleaned up pretty nice so far. i'm glad it went to someone who will use it and have fun with it too. my brother always liked that car but he got too involved with his 93 trans am and let that one sit. i hope to see u at some nfboa meets with the thing too. if u have any questions about the car..call me or my brother up anytime.

Miles 03-16-2010 06:14 AM

thanks dave, i'm eally enjoying the car. it's currently up in the air and the exhaust is out. you'll see me at a lot of meets this year, and i hope to see you there too.
