For my official return to the 3rdgen family. Many thanks to TraviZ for going to LA to pick it up with me. And yes I ran a Carfax..so those miles you see are accurate. It had the original tires, so before I could even leave LA we had to stop and get new ones. The gas was 5 years old...been sitting for a while and most of the sitting was in Long Beach, hence the minor surface rust and paint issues. Looks like never garage kept. It was a family member selling it for the original owner, so it looks like from the carfax I am the second owner

Cool thing is everything except the passenger window and rear hatch motor work. Needs hood and rear hatch struts as you can see. Even cruise works, which was very helpful for the drive back. So after some paint, and the drivers door dent fixed it will look like a 20K mile car. And the drivers seat has a nice rip, almost like a dog took a bite out of it, but I will have all that fixed as well. Has the original GM floor mats, going to have them, carpet and all seats steam cleaned and stain guarded.

Best part is....the guy thought the car was a POS and was only asking 1600, I got him down to 1400! K, enough blabbing already, enjoy the pics.

Del, please go easy on me for the violation of the pic policy just this once Consider it a present to me for coming back to the family

 

 

 

 

 

You got a smokin deal for a 20k mile car. Deals like that don't come too often.

 

damn it was19k when we bought it now its old . 20k haha

 

There's a pic policy on here?

Pimp! You know I'm a sucker/stickler for low mile beauties.

I was going to ask what year/model/engine, but I see ya updated the stats.

Congrats & welcome back, officially.

Now we just need to work on actually having some 3rd gen gtgs.

 

I thought you were going to wait out and get an Iroc?

Either way, looks like it has good potential. What plans do you have for it?

 

I think it is your turn to make the first step.

 

I agree del. Your turn. I have a feeling Vinnie is going to be having one pretty soon though...

 

That's a hell of a deal, I'm jealous.

It seems to have the wrong tail lights. Those were not offered in 91 and must be from an earlier car.

 

Man that's one hell of a deal!!! He really thought that was a POS??

oh well, his loss = your gain!!!

 

I'll be sure to throw some ideas out there in the next month or so while the weather is nice.

Track meets don't seem to be working out very well this year.

 

Car looks even better in person, lots of potential in there and it is awesome to see one of the "og's", get another 3rd

x2

I might make some plans Aaron once I get some crap squared away, but this is about Big Willie's Style's new hot rod here

 

Sweet deal and that does not look like a POS.

 

Nice find. Not many like that still around. Enjoy and welcome back.

 

Well at least I thought there was a pic policy on here, thanks Del.

She runs like a top, no smoke on start up, from the fresh oil change in LA all the way home until I checked it yesterday not a single drop has been eaten, and no drips on the garage floor of any kind. Gotta adjust the hood latch so it pulls the hood down more to close that gap.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, feels great to be back. Would love to have a meet and meet all the new faces and just chill and talk like old times.

Looking in classic industries book it does appear to have the wrong tailights. I know they repainted the car years ago from the factory blue. I am wondering if the old ones were so faded from the sun they pulled some used ones from a junk yard. Either way I plan on after paint buying the new correct ones to reinstall.

 

There is, I was being sarcastic. 3 pics if you are using thirdgen.org servers, if you host your own pics, put a gajillion of them, I don't care.

How was the gas mileage on the trip up with that 305 TBI?

 

Cool, I figured so, that's why I used photobucket to host the pics.

MPG's were great! Averaged 25-26 the whole trip home.

 

Right on Will. I envy low mile 3rd gen. And that's a very low miles. Now it's time to change your login name to:
Wills91rsmaro

 

Good find bro, keep us posted with all the new things your going to throw on there.

Thanks. Tony.

 

Thanks guys, will do.

Bennie, I was thinking of changing my user name as well....

Del, is that something you can do???

 

I can't do that Will, but sent you a PM with whom to contact.

 

I like "wills91RS" better, but that's just me

 

Ya that's my first choice too big brotha Vinny. I sent a PM to the proper person...we will just have to wait and see. My second choice was the one Bennie came up with.

 

Damn bro you even got hooked up with a capital W!

Can I get mine VINDEEZL?

 

Wow. Impressive Will.

I got up to 28 MPG on my trip to LA and back with that 2.73 I used to have. That TBI will be a reliable motor forever. You know what to do to get a little more pep out of it.

 

If you log in with all caps, it will be all caps when you post and such.

 

Still lower case bro, but in all honesty I am used to it like this

 

It used to work with me... I just tried it again, but no cigar... I used to log in
BullyDawg...
No more capital D... huh

 

Ya that's really good. I think I will get around what you got once I give it a good tune up and flush all the fluids etc...

Big Vinny, thanks, ya my new user name is pretty pimp

 

why don't the rest of us find those kind of deals? nice foundation, you don't have to rebuild engine and tranny like the rest of us with the 100k+mi car deals. and interior replace also. you can add swaybars and have a cheaper to insure iroc anyhow.

 

Ya it was for sure a hell of a find and deal. Took time to find, and I am pretty picky, it was just what I was looking for and then some. The foundation of the car is one of the major reasons I bought the car as you said, it was just too good to pass up on for the price.
