I bought my driver-quality '95 Formula with 130k for $3500 in October.

My f-body connection has a really nice looking '95 Z28, purple, under 100k for $3500 at the moment. Car has a flood record on the title, though. Can't tell from looking at it...if it was a six speed, I'd buy it for myself.

Specialized I pm'd ya.

The white trans am sounds like an awsome deal I just wish it was a 6 speed, I'm really not lookin for an auto but it is tempting that car looks good, I'm still considering it as I type this actually, thanks for the heads up.

edit: does the t/a run and drive ok, small confusion because it said it needs a timing chain? I pm'd ya too but forgot to ask that question.

I'm on the fence about selling mine. It's a '94 Trans Am, A4 with tons of new parts. It got a motor swap last summer. Car has just under 120k miles and the motor has about 90k. It's got t-tops and is maroon with tan cloth interior.
The most recent parts: New alternator (replaced it last weekend) and new tires and rims on the way. Rims are OE Concepts ZR1's, chrome. 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears. Coming with new tires too.... zero miles!!!
I was asking $4000 as it was but now with the tires, rims and alt...... $5500.
I have all the receipts for every part I replaced (lots of items) including the motor. The car will be getting a complete detail inside and out this weekend.

I'm in central MA and would be more than willing to let you see and drive it. Let me know if you're interested. I have some pics I can send but they are from last summer and obviously don't have the new wheels on.
