I'll keep that in mind. If it takes too much $$$ to get it on the road I'll be parting it out.

Well, good deal! Extra points for being a TPI motor. Shame it's one year shy of SD :\ Could've given you a tuned file for a stock motor with catback. For being my first tune and not know wth I was doing, woke my 91 350 up

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....

Holy **** for $600 that is a really nice car. T-tops and a digi dash. Sweet deal. Does all the gauges on the dash work?

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!
