Well I picked it up the other day and its definitely an LB9 305. The good news is I got her runnin again. The engines runinng well considering it sat for 4 years. Its not roadworthy yet but in due time it shall be. Tryn to find all these clunks and rattles comin from the suspension...

ive had three third gens and they are fun and underestimated!!! my last one was a 92 GTA hardtop with a TPI 350 with manual cloth seats, 3.23 posi and a blowmaster... it went 14.5 in september in florida on street tires stock... good enough to run on gt's all day... now, a fresh 350 shortblock, vortec heads, Lt1 hotcam, Holley or accel intake for TPI, Throttlebody, headers, exhaust, tune, fresh trans, and a 2400 stall would be my suggestion... of course i know theres obvisously a budget to stick to. good luck have fun....

Nice pick up I got a 91 gta this summer real cheap and under 100k good luck with getting everything started. Mine had sat for 2 years but it only needed oil change and gas and it started up but it since has had a lot more maintenance done.

cool deal.. just 2 years ago- i turned down a 305tpi car- that was the same year- white with the tan interior.. it was hit up front, so it needed a bumper and hood and some odd end stuff.. they wanted 1000 bucks for it- i eyed it for a whole week- but then passed it off.. OH well- good find!
