Why?? WHY is everyone selling their F-Bodies?
I know that no one really wants to. I do understand
the gas price problems. We have 3 birds, Blazer and
a van.
I just hate to see everyone get rid of those sexy cars.

There does seem to be a lot for sale lately. Hopefully most are trading for something better, and LSX powered. I'm not selling mine though, at least not until I'm ready to get my 5th gen.
I dont know. I have been back and forth with mine. only time will tell. for me I just dont have the time that I used to have with the car. I am married and have working on kids. and just dont have time for the bird anymore 
I'm possibly moving from my 94 to a 93. Going to look tommarow, paint is probably in better shape than what I have going on, and a slightly better motor than even the built motor that is sitting in my garage. Won't know til tommarow afternoon though, just makes sense to save me some trouble if I change cars.
Lets say if the clear isn't peeling and the dash isn't cracked, well there is about $750 I don't have to spend to bring mine back to nice shape. Engine is stronger than the one I was going to put in my car, and is already installed and ready to go. I still need valve springs/injectors for what I was going to do, plus figure I don't have the time/proper tools to install, figure $850. Car I'm looking at needs a opti. $350. So I save $1300 bucks and have a stronger running car. Oh yeah trans has been gone through on this car I'm looking at too. Well I save money if the nice engine I have sells, pretty much have someone interested in my current car.

people are selling them b/c vast majority of people here used them as DDs. now they are old. 1998 model ls1s are 11 (model) years old. people buy cars every 5 years or so. its just not the new kid on the block.

For small example, I belong to a Maxima fourm, 2 mos back someone threw up a milage pole: I would say 3/4 of them are getting between 18-22MPG, I'm getting 28, but I'm not on the converter, and in the pedal all the time, all about the weight of the foot,
small example, maybe a bunch of miss info, but when I drove the Nova as a DD, whew the gas bill,

. The only reason I'd sell one of mine is because I don't need three. That and I'd probably get a GM truck that I could make fast and tow them around with.

Well I'm keeping my 94. The 93 I went to look at was in really rough shape. I should remind myself never to get rid of my 94, I'm the second owner and when I took possession of it, it was completely stock. I don't think I want to test my luck with another used vehicle.
I'll never sell my '02. This car is the reason i joined the AF in the first place(to be 100% honest) and signed 6 years of my life away. Since i've taken ownership @ 15,454 miles its been nothing but a true love and dream come true. Honestly. And since I've only got $1,019.04 left on the loan from date of purchase in June 06 Im deff not in the market to get something new and plunge myself $30k+ in debt. Plus with those new TSP 2.5R 5.3 heads commin' out...
Thats one of the coolest things about the LSx engines though. Like theres so much stuff on a '06 or '08 model that you can put on a '98 that ya don't always need to sell it after 5 years(in order to have the newest, latest performance feature etc.). Take care of your stuff, do the proper maintenance and it'll last.
Just my $.02

J/k, whats up?
I am gonna try and hold on to both of my lsx rides. I have an 8 year old little girl who thought a targa top car she saw last summer was sooo cool. I have not let her realize the tops come off the Z. I wanna surprise her the first time we take it out. I think she'll love it. It'll be a classic when she leaves for college in it
i wont sell mine b/c:
1) its too far removed from being a stock type car
2) its the first new car i have ever owned
3) its my toy/drag car
i guess the big difference is i dont care how it drives, what others think, it its too loud or gets **** milage. i own it and its a toy.
