What do u guys think about these cars? im pretty sure its a 86-88ish i will find out tommorrow for sure. Its a z28 black on tan T-tops, clean body, auto im not sure on the hp cuz i don't know the engine model yet. The guy wants 1200 obo, he been trying to sell it for months it used to be 3k. I plan on using it as a daily driver. One of my best friends also has an 86 iroc with 4k in engine mods and i have helped him with his car, so i do have relative experience with this car....

I had a blast with my Trans Am, they are a bit underpowered with a 305, but you can swap in a good small block one day for endless horsepower, they handle great as well. Reliable like you wouldnt believe, and parts are dirt cheap and easily availible. Here is my small block conversion in mine, notice the wires for all the computer/emissions crap in the upper left corner of the engine bay, I never even got to rip them out. :redface:
