72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

Our ideas of what constitute a "good buy" seem to differ here. Note the mould and interior degeneration and wavy door interior trim panels. I'd say this thing has been stored somewhere damp and for a long time. Also note the "gloss" or lack thereof on the paint and engine components. God only knows what the undercarriage looks like and ALL this for "only" $8500!  No thanks- and I like and owned several A bodies.  :nono:

True, I used to sell used cars, and should have said looks like a good buy. Of course, none of us would completely known until
we got to examine it closely. However, a car like that rarely shows up, at least in the Pacific Northwest. If someone were looking for an old A body, I would definitely take a closer look.
