Default Found me a new daily driver.. What do you think?

Finally, get to put the Z28 away for weekends...
Hope to have the GTO in a few weeks...
A friend of mine is holding it for me in his salvage yard...

Thanks for the comments..
Has approx. 18-20K on it ( according to car fax report) There is NO key so i cannot confirm...

Car is almost perfect... I am hoping to get it for around $ $10K _ 13K...

Yeah.. whoever had it.. did not treat it as it should be...


Their loss, my gain.. i'll keep you posted....

BTW.. anyone that has seen my Z28 knows how **** i am... The GTO will be gone through with a fine tooth comb...


Thanks again... for looking..

Great find! You should be able to push the trip button, or mode button, and it will display the miles with out the key.

It almost looks like they hit a curb or something on that front driver side. Just a guess though, i could be completely wrong.

that is sweet. So how much do you think you are going to have to invest to get it back into shape?
Lucky guy, Great find!

Thanks guys... No... definately not Flood damaged...! No accidents...
A DPS trooper friend of mind found it... side of the road... flat tire.. My other friend that owns the salvage yard loaded it up that way... the wheel is off to prevent someone from coning into his yard and trying to take it back... Nobody "owns" it... other than the lein holder... My buddy is currently negotiating with them.. it has been @ his lot for approx. 6 weeks.. @ $85.00 per day... Do the math.. Not to mention that it is a California car..

Whatever i have to pay will be fine... As previously stated... $10-$13K... Top!! for an 18K mi car... change the fluids, new tires, fuel filter, and plenty of Zaino...

i'll take photo's when i get the car...

Thanks for the feedback...
