My 89 Bandit II

Cleaned up my little Bandit II today, a unmolested 1989 car. Barely clicked over 100k, and everything works great on it.











I have owned several third and a couple of 4th gens and this may be teh best driving Fbody i have drove for some reason.

Sweet! The only thing I picked out before anything was that front bumper. Why would they put a normal cover on a car like that? lol! Who knows, nice car though man.

Cool! Looks nice!

Would you care to snap some close-up pics of the different decals on the doors, rear and wherever else there may be any?

Your ground effects are fiberglass right? If so this is the same GFX that they used on Pro/ams too. Very rare indeed.

Is that hitch gone yet? That's the first thing I would have removed.

Looks good though. Good to see some of the more "odd" f-body's around and in good shape. Keep up the good work.
