What the hells patience?


Anyways the next two I am looking at are a 78 Trans Am and a 73 Camaro.

I just called about the camaro and he said $2,000. It's got a 454 but it's not hooked up yet and the interior is all original. I asked about the rust and he said there surprisingly wasn't very much at all, but I think we all know how that goes. I am going to look at it tomorrow after school. I hope it turns out good because I would really like to have one.

The T/A is a 78 but it's been converted into a 79.. The interior is really nice and it's a manual car which is cool and raises the value ALOT. I am going to daily drive whichever car I get so it might not be all that great lol.. The engine got water in the intake so I would have to build an engine for it. The car is $1600 delivered to my house. Pics up in a little bit.

Here are some pics of the Road Runner and Charger. The more I think about it, the more I want to go back for the Charger. I mean it's not the best looking muscle car but damn, $500! And those 440's are freaken huge. Also it's got 9,000 miles lol..

If that 73 camaro is in decent shape get it (after you beat him up on price) it will be cheaper to get parts for than any of the mopars and they are great looking cars to begin with. BBC parts are getting cheaper by the day as long as you just build a strong street motor and dont go overboard in aftermarket parts. The sheet metal prices are not too bad either. Give it a really good look and let us know. Of course pictures are always good too.:thumbsup:

There will be plenty of pictures. :D

And I already beat him up and dropped the price from $3,000.

Eric nor I will let you have those Mopars -- they're just too far gone for what you want to do..

Yup, we will not LET you.....:lol:

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the Camaro.

Ok so I went to go look at the car today and my God, this was the nicest thing I have ever seen. Hardly a drop of rust and the 454 IS hooked up. He said it would crank up and run but it's been sitting a while. It's got Trans Am interior but it's all there, it's also got a retro diamond headliner lol... The rust is just a little bit on the edge of the trunk lid. He wants $2500 but all I have is $2200. Hopefully I can find a way to come up with the rest by this weekend. I want this thing so bad.


Pics up after I eat.

Cool! Just go sell a kidney, easy money man....:D

TreySmith 01-12-2010 04:54 PM

Here are the pics, I am going to try and borrow some money. He said he would hold the car for me until Sunday. I have this crazy excited feeling I never got it with any of the other cars I have looked at except for the 80' Trans Am..

He backed into the car one day which is why the nose is pushed in just a little.
