Bought this in september i have always loved these cars. Got it for $1750 off of the second owner came with a trunk full of parts too. Its got almost 20k on a crate engine and 133k on the body. Its got its problems for an older vehicle but i love it. Its my dream vehicle cant wait to get the money to fix her up. Also has straight exhaust no caddy converter or muffler. Ive came across only one of theses a few years ago and it was a quasar and it slipped thru my fingers and i seen this one and couldnt let it happen again.
To do list:
Needs spring and shocks in the rear.
Needs control arms struts and possibly more, front end clicks pops and pulls to the right (new tire fixed that)
Carpet professionally cleaned
New tires all around
New spoiler maybe new rear filler panel too. mines not too bad just not perfect lol
(Got new spoiler and a filler paid for just waiting to receive it)

How much do those cost? In the old days it was 300 bucks and I felt it was better spent on the car.
Damn man change that avatar photo to the last one you posted up top. That hood looks bad and makes people think that's what the car looks like now.

Cool man, just a little worried there. Didn't think about the accident. Where are you going to get the springs?

Made in China, no thanks. Vintage has GM's, but in the end it would cost more than what my car is worth(lol). Yours is worth more so it might be ok.
Hell I'm just going to have to go with Vintage. My springs are shot. So you have FE7 right?
