My mechanic's wife was selling this.. the clutch is out so i towed it to my house, she wanted 1600 for it, i really couldnt say no i rarly ever see these compared to mustangs and camaros everywhere.. please opinions did i jus waste my money or is it all good? She told me that her husband (the mechanic) worked for GM at the time she bought, so i guess they threw a little extra in it, i dunno what she is talking about thought. Its a 1989, it has 210,000miles 5 speed, no mods, stock

 

I definitely don't see any of those extras she was talking about. 210,000 on the clock is alot, but, it IS a 305 after all.. swap it out for an L98/LT1/LS1 and you're good to go. It needs work, but 1600 isn't bad. It'll be a good project.

 

i dont know either she said something about proformace suspension and things like that no interior or extrerior add ons, of course its a project car, allmost a classic

 

They still were carbed in 89?

 

Yeah you dont see these cars around to much anymore. The body appears to be in great shape and glass t-tops too. Lose those rims though ASAP, slap some GtA's on her.

 

Not a bad find. You could have done alot worse. The 305 TBI's arent major power houses, but it looks like an excellent starting point.

Give it a good detailing I like the rims too.

 

It is TBI... All formulas came with the WS6 suspension as well... Looks like a good deal for 1600 though, since its a 5-speed.

 

Looks good, as long as there's no hidden rust you got a decent deal.

 

Thanks, I guess that shows what I know about engines!

 

theres some rust but nothing too major, i cant wait to fix it up and start eating ****..

 

I like the wheels. Looks like he used some screws to hold the door panel on, needs a cd player. Overall looks like a pretty nice car!

 

to tell you the truth i have not touched it, its still the same way the lady left it, i like the wheels but i want the stock ones that come with it.

 

first thing i would do is take the wing off, clean all the grime that's in between where the mounting points are, and put the wing back on... would make a world of a difference. A good buffing would do it good too Looks straight and a great start to the project. The torn headliner is no biggy, you can fix that pretty easily. Just take out the headliner, take off the old cloth, take steel wool to the excess stuff that doesnt come off w/ the cloth, then spray some 3M trim adhesive, and put on your new headliner material, whatever color you may choose

 

nice find....i picked up an 88 GTA with ~105K miles, 305 tpi, 5spd, digi dash, t-tops, in need of paint and cleaning of the interior for $1500 2 months ago

 

thanks for the advice and opinions, someone tried to buy it the other day it doesnt even run at the moment. i plan on making her look like she did the day the lady bought it off the lot. heres a few more pics, sorry i take crappy pics.

 

thats funny some dude offered me $2500 for my car a week after i got it

 

Good show, we need more people to restore these cars, don't look at it now, see it as it can be........Good Luck
