LT1-LT4 Modifications - Should i get it?

hey guys i know a guy locally selling a red 94 TA its an a4 leather high rise blah blah blah but thing is it has a rod knock once warmed up....

he is askin 1400 but he didnt seem to mind that i offered him 600 for it so before i pull the trigger maybe some advice?
it runs and drives i drove it and the transmission is flawless just needs lots of TLC

and yes i built my 94 so i know what im getting into and what im mainly lookin to to is rebuild the engine back to stock pretty much and clean it and sell it.'

like i said before it has a rod knock peeling clear coat on the front end and a baseball size dent in the quarter panel right where the rear bumper and quarter meet.

so do you think 600 is a fair price and it also has a clean title

oh and btw the fiance would be buying this car for my birthday so whatcha think?

paint/bodywork/engine - not budget at all. all three areas are the most expensive on a car so 600 is probably fine. how many miles? you're looking at 4k in repairs on the cheap side. if it's not a low mileage car, you probably won't be getting your money back.

Gut it build it make it a race car

You can find a motor for around 500 if you look. Maaco paint job after you sand it will be under 500. I'd leave the dent. If the interiors clean and the a/c works you'll probably bring between 3000-3500 depending on mileage.

i say buy it and keep it

i say buy it and keep it

Agreed. for $600 if he takes it would be a great price. rod knock and all

yeah but im not including paint body or anything in the price becasue im goin to school for collision repair so id be doing all the work myself id just have to pay for the materials

oh and there is 114K on the car

interior is dirty and it has the normal trans am tears in the driver seat and on the back seat along the top as well

idk it would be fun to have but my car needs a tranny as well so im kinda stuck lol!!!!!!

Hey, if you can, post up some pictures of it. I'm going to be picking up a '93 T/A GT roller. Keep us updated!

well guys looks like im not gonna get it becuase my car as it is now is slipping...

so tranny time ..

instead for my birthday gift my girl is geting me a yank SS3600 or a miller 140 auto set cant decide between the two lol

Well hell i can sell you a tranny out of my 94 Z and she can get you the Yank!! great idea, it's even built.

buy car, swap trannies.

buy car, swap trannies.

genus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy it, put the good transmission in your car....sell what's left along with your toasted transmission. It should still bring over $600. Have you priced a TA front bumper, headlights, fog lights, and rear hatch with spoiler lately?? Plus think of all the other little spare parts you could keep for your car.
