Lol, 15,500 for a nice carbed car? I would be willing to let mine go for 15K witht the T-Ram and many more mods.

Okay, here's the plan, Dave.... you put your car in an ad right next to his car and price it at only $14,000. It will look like a good deal in comparison and some sucker will bite. Very Happy

I'm up for it. I garranty my car is as clean as his, not sure if your insinuating it isnt? I just dont think people will pay that kind of money for a modded 3rd gen. I have almost 30k into mine, and part for part in that ad I have the same or better, but if I had to sell it, dont think I could I could get 10K for it. Not becuase it is a POS, but rather becuase it has 110K on the body / ODO and almost nothing is stock. Maybe I miss interprided your response, if so, disregard mine.

It is a nice example of 3rd gen greatness, it's just that most people still think they are white trash easily procured vehicles. I cant wait for this mindset to be gone, but it isnt yet.

Just to nit pic, becuase I am that guy, the 150.00 dollar after market steering wheel is listed as a mod. I spent 450.00 on a new GM replacement wheel for mine. I replaced the sundried cracked dash pad on mine in the late 90's with a GM replacement pad, costs about 350.00 bucks. I replaced all of the weahter stripping, pin striping, head lights, turn signals, side markers, both sets of door hinges ( not pin replacement, complete hinges),all switches for windows, locks, rear hatch, and just about every thing else that wears out along with the T-Bar under the T-Tops with genuine GM parts. The T-Bar was the last one in GM inventory, it was located in a dealership in Portland.

My 87 is as close to a new car as you can get with the amount of miles on it. Al and Iansane have seen it up close and I had it at a group gathering just after putting it back together after the repaint. This was back in 2004 at a go cart track in Bothell. My car is in fantastic condition considering the miles and thrashing I do to it when it is driven.

Anyone on this board could build that car for far less than $15500! Rolling Eyes

Don't ever add up your receipts. It will surprise and scare you. Kind of like the guy that says its a 5min job.. Until you time him at 45min.

I was trying to build my stepside project on the cheap. I had $10k worth of parts and still only had a chassis with a rough body. This 2nd gen project is also supposed to be on the cheap.. probably got $4500 invested allready. Sad
