Found the forum while searcing for some info on a car I was contemplating buying. Joined, then lurked a little, and I thougth I'd introduce myself. So far I have an early '80's Cutlass that I bought for parts or a donor car. It came with Tubular upper & lower arms, Eibach springs, big swaybars, some rallye guages, extra doors (including some manual crank ones), extra fenders, extra glass, older Camaro Z-28 wheels w/decent tires, a very clean V-6 w/high perf HEI, some shorty headers, and probably more that I'm forgetting (like what year the silly car is in the first place!) From another parts car, I have an 8.5" one wheel peeler.
I'm a huge fan of row your own trannies, but I'll probably start out with an auto. I missed a phenomenal late 70's Malibu wagon recently with a T-5, and I'm still crying over it. The seller had about $12G in it, and he sold it for $3500 the night before I was able to get cash in my account. I love long roofs, and getting one with a 5-spd is pretty much my perfect ride. If that car ever comes back up for sale, I'll drop everything to go buy it. From what the seller said, the buyer didn't even care about what the car was, just wanted something to put his mini-hydroplane on the top. Anyone else crying along with me? Oh, I also have a 65 Tempest wagon and a bunch of GTO parts, but it's a longer term project. Can I speak A-body on the G-body forum?
