Well let me know if you don't have any luck trading for something .

I'm looking for a rear bumper and the front endura bumper and a 400 block along with some misc. parts.

Good luck !!!

Do you want the whole car or just parts? I can't part it out. I am so lucky my stepdad felt bad for me since I was working on it in a parking lot on the weekends and let me drag it home. He wouldn't let me just keep the shell for sure, so I would have to sell it as a whole car.. There is some good metal on it too if your passenger floor and rear floor pan is bad.

Too bad you have a vert though, the back glass and all the trim for the car is perfect.. All 5 rims are good too.

I'd take the whole car , I'd have to figure out shipping though.

If you can't figure out anything with a trade or fixing it up I might be interested

You could fly down here for like $75, then rent a truck/trailer and drive back.. Would be like $600 or something in all I guess.

That's a long ass drive.

Trey man, I wouldn't give up so soon on this if this is the car you really want to do. I mean we all would love to drive our cars as soon as possible, but if this is the car you really want, then stick with it. If it was something you bought just to have a cool car but you really want something else then go ahead and sell it and get what you want,but remember it takes alot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears to restore a car and from what I've seen your well on your way. If you can't wait get the tools you need to do it yourself and learn along the way. I just wouldn't give up too soon, best of luck on whatever you decide to do.

The car isn't something I really want. If it was a real GTO, then I might consider keeping it. I just got it because it was the only thing I could afford at the time and I took a big risk since it didn't run.. Luckily God was on my side and it all turned out ok.

I just want something I can enjoy now. I want a muscle car I can drive to school and show off to my friends. My car doesn't have a title. It isn't hard to get, but by the time I finally get around to it, school will be out. Parts for these cars are hard to come by too and are very expensive when you do come by them. Like the GTO nose, $1000+..

But I am going by the guys place this weekend.. Hopefully he will be interested in trading. I would reccomend going by his place if anyone is interested in a new project in the Texas area, all of his cars are reasonably priced.

I want to start a small restoration place and hopefully end up like the shops on this place building pro touring cars for the public and for cheaper prices..

And thanks young gun for the info, but I don't think I am going to keep this.

Hey Trey I see you have it for sale now , I'm still interested but the cost to get it up to me might be too much , I'm going to look into it. I need the rear bumper , front nose w/ all headlight parts , block , maybe trans , and the wiring for the electric windows , plus some misc. parts . If I can get a good price for shipping it I'll maybe make you an offer.

TreySmith · #50 02-09-2009, 07:44 PM

Get the price for shipping and I will deduct it from the car as long as it isn't more than $500

I would use the trans if I were you, it was said to be rebuilt and can't have any more that 10 miles on it if it was.

Here is a pic I just took of the front end.. The lights nearly blinded me, they aren't very bright from the side but I bent down to take another pic and damn near blinded myself because these lights are very directional.
