Default Find me a car!

Upon my return from my 2 week work trip in Europe mid May I will be handing over the keys of my 93 TA to it's new owner.

Therefore I will be, & actually these past 2 weeks, have been searching for a "new" car.

My 1st search for for a 77/8 TA, looked a few, a couple were in really bad shape, nope.
Not looking for a project like this lst one was.

Looking at LS1 TA's again as well & they can be had for well under 10K.

I get to keep all the under hood "bling", dunno if i'm "gunna" sell that stuff or put it on my next car if I get another 4th gen.

So if anyone sees or hears of any of the above mentioned cars coming up F/S after mid May, please toss me a link, address, etc.

Thanks

Yeah, I don’t mind Camaros, but they’ve never been my 1st choice for a ride.

I’ve had a “love” for Trans Am’s since 1976 when David Carradine drove a bad ass 1970 Trans Am in Cannonball.
The Camaro has never “done anything” for me.
And for $8500, I don’t want a work in progress car.

Again, thanks for looking though!

BTW, I have a program that lets me search craigslist all over the country & I’ve set up my search between $4K & $9K.
I did it this way so parts & parts cars are weeded out.

I’ve also set my search for a 500 mile radius, sometimes I do a 1000 mile search, so chances are if you find one (TA) on CL, I’ve seen it.

Formy's, nah.
TA's please.
BTW, I'm "picky".
If it doesn't have the poncho engine, nope, don't want it.
I've passed on cars with the olds engine as well, even the 79 anniv with the 403.

I was hoping you guys knew someone who knew someone selling vs CL & autotrader, both of which I can search!

I hear you 100% there. I've never been a camaro fan. Always firebirds. Matter of fact only reason I got the 95 was because it was too good of a deal to pass up and I actually bought it with every intention of stripping it for parts. The motor/trans were originally supposed to go into my 87. Then it drove so nice my other half fell in love with it. Now I'm stuck with it lol.
That and I figure since I can't ever buy a new bird now I may as well get used to camaro's since I fully intend to own a 5th gen one day...
