My 88TA runs and drives, I just haven't made it road worthy yet. Registration, insurance, inspection, replace the engine temp sending unit in the water jacket....

My F-body powered Monte is running just fine. However, she's going to need a clutch before I really start driving it again next summer. The clutch slips if more than half throttle is applied, and babying it is NO FUN.

Mine runs just dandy, but since it's for sale and don't want anything to happen to it, so I don't drive it.

That's a little rough don't you think. Third gens are pretty reliable. Never had a problem with either of mine.
