Hopefully ill see you around at burger king or something when ever I finish my Birdie.
And if you know anyone who wants a low mile [47k mile] stock 700r4 im going to sell mine once im done with the T56 swap. Or itll just sit in the garage, hah hah.

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
Thats fine, just make an offer. It shifts perfect and has no problems and like I said only 47k miles on it. Ill have it out of my car by the first week in august [going on vacation on sunday]. If you could just pick it up and pay in cash that would be easiest i guess.

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
That thing is beautiful!
What engine/trans it got in there?
I really wish I could buy it, but I dont see myself being able to swing it by for at least a few months, since like i said gotta spend about a bunch more on my car to finish it.
I mean, do you play guitar? I got a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Custom, black with cream trim and gold hardware [paid 1600$ for it a few years ago], thats about the only high $$$ thing I got other then my car, lol.
But I mean if you give me a good deal and can wait then ill try to scrap some money together, because that vette looks oh so good.

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
I've been completely through the suspension with poly's, new SS brakes all 4 corners, crate 350, performer intake, holley 750DP... headers in the shed.. lotsa parts lol... like I said...
I'd go 7k...
wifeys car is the bargain though.. pristine '84 survivor.. stack of docs over 8" thick. she would do 7.5k. her car hauls ***! cross-fire injection with a tweaked chip!

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
I would take it for 6k, but I think if I went and took a 6k loan at the bank my parents would probably kill me, hah hah [sometimes it sucks living with your folks]
Earliest I could get it would be november or december, because by then ill have my Firebird all taken care of and ill be able to spend my paychecks on buying another car and also with x-mas and my birthday in december my parents would probably help me out.
But since you want to sell it like now, im afraid I cant get it.
But let me show my mom the car and see if she wants to spot me some money, lol.

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
This car is not perfect.... interior is pretty rough in fact, which is why its cheap to buy.. LOL
Also not a real good time to be borrowing money...
I have a feeling the economy is gonna tank pretty hard and soon. Better deals in the future as folks run out of money and creditors call notes due to survive...
If ya can't pay cash for a toy, I wouldn't go into debt to buy it... just my thoughts on the matter. Save your money and ya get a way better deal in the end. Just look at the number of cars for sale on this forum alone... several... like this one

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
Yeh, she said its nice, but doesent want to lend me any money for a few months since she has bills also.
My Firebird is almost exactly the same as that camaro except the pontiac version and I got mine for 2700$ with only 38,xxx miles on it.
But I saw someone selling a 1989 Trans Am GTA a couple months ago with 110k miles and it was an L98 but the 700r4 was rough on it and they were selling it for 1200$ and this car was nice, thats the kind of deal I need to look for, lol.

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
I am in Falls Church and desperately in need of some assistance with my 91 RS!! I posted a thread about three days ago about a problem.... my battery, starter... or ?? I went to start the car and everything seemed to be o.k., but as soon as I turned the key.... the grim reaper took the life completely from the car!!!!! No dash lights, no dome, NOTHING. it was suggested that I get the battery checked out and I did. It was shot. I also had the starter tested and it was good. I got everything hooked back up...AND THE REAPER SHOWED UP AGAIN!!! I can not figure this out for anything!! I was just wondering if anyone lived in the area that could school/ help me with this?

Re: Anyone live in Northern VA
+1^^ that is where I would start... and check the connection on the back of the alternator and starter solenoid.
