nice ride wouldnt take much to make it perfect
I came scary close to buying this car. If Matt had put it up for sale a few days earlier, I can guarantee it would have been mine. Unfortunately we had just bought Hoopties Capri and could not make room in the garage for another car. I still almost bought it but just couldn't justify puting my 81 outside to clear space for it. I tried to talk the wife into replacing her 90 with it. That car and my 83 would make a nice his & hers pair but she wouldn't have it...oh well. I loved that car from the first time he showed it to me. You are lucky to have it, I'm jelous. I personally would fix what needs fixing and leave it alone. You just don't dont see those cars that original and that solid.
Now as for Matt. I have decided that guy has worse ADHD than I do and has a really bad habbit of not being able to keep hold of beautiful 4eyes.

When I saw the car I told Matt I could not believe someone had not jumped on the car. I am shocked that with 97k on the odometer that it is as clean as it is, not to mention 25 years old.
My brother in law came by last night and said he could fix the majority of paint issues without a full paint job. He can't get to it till the 1st of Jan. I am going to do a little suspension and brake work, a LA3 and a little extra boost and enjoy the car.
I wont do anything that cant be un-done.

Thanks for the correction I just took what I learn here and try to apply to everyday use, but I am going to put that one away to use another day. And yes I do like that car. Alot!

1982 GT T-Top (Silver/Red), needs motor/trans and lots of TLC.
1985 GT Vert (Blue/grey), saved from scrap yard needs a lot.
1987 GT T-Top (Yellow/Grey)
Previous heard:
1987 GT (Red/Red), 1984 G.T. 350 T-Top, 1986 LX Wht/Grey Coupe
Welcome and I hate you. That car is so beautiful. Oh, and if you remove the trxs I will kill you. What's wrong? Don't have 1400 dollars for new tires? Seriously, nice car. Enjoy.

I also wanted to buy this car, but it was just a little too far away, and I will only buy a car if I can see it in person. Now that its in the Atlanta area, hummmmm, lol.

lol.....you never know. I turn cars over like a woman changes shoes. The plan is to keep it but you just never know.
I have been burned by several cars hundreds of miles away. The worse case scenario is you fly in and drive a rental back. I have done that three or four times and flown stand by back twice.
I couldn't get excited about the car till I saw it. Once I saw it I was excited.

I thought the pics looked great, can't wait to see it in person. We need to get the four-eyed ATL crowd together.
