Ooo a perfect candidate to be made AWESOME once again. Please make it a different color! Anything other than teal.

Nice find!

It is actually green, the pics made it look like that for soe reason, it will probably be a emerald green, but really dark.

This is my second 5 speed third gen, they aren't impossible to find, there is a 86 IROC here for sale with a 5 speed, but DAMN the bitch needs more work than i want to do for the price.

LOL, naa, i am trying to make this thing keep 20 MPG for DD duty, so if it gets a 383 it will be a mild vortec motor or something along that line, torque monster.


I am going to put the convo pros on my T top car from the hard top, the wheels you see in the picture will be on my hard top, but i am going to have the rear set widened to 15x10.
