I've never driven the car.
It came to my house in IL from the dealer in a hauler. They unloaded it. We looked it over. The car looked good and then I moved it into the garage.

I was laid off when I got the car so I didn't want to spend the money for the tax, title, registration, and insurance.

I sold my house out there 2 months later and moved back to Syracuse. The hauling company came to the house. We put the Solstice in first and then the Challenger.

When the cars came to Syracuse, we unloaded the hauler and I put the Challenger in a friend's warehouse because I don't have a house yet. And it's sat there since.

Now that I'm working again, I hope to have a house by next spring.
THEN I can bring my cars home.
I haven't driven the T/A or GP since Sept. 2007.

I still cringe every time I close the doors to my 83. Just sounds like a big steel hollow mess and thats with new door hinges(the engineer who signed off on the top one should be shot in the streets). The cars were light because they were poorly built. A car with 16" x 8" rim is known for tearing out the part of the frame that the steering box mounts to? I'll take a "heavy" 4th gen or 5th gen any day over that stuff.

I have a beautiful original 91 Z28 convertible w/40K miles that I do not think is a piece of crap. Ya it rattles. It is not as fast as the 4th generation but it was a different era of cars. The build quality was not as good. While I love the look of the interior I do not like the plastic components. But they were a great looking car. The look of a 3rd gen in my opinon is so much better than the 4th gen. To me the 4th gens have no character, they are just a swoopy aerodynamic vehicle. I liked the look of some of the later model SS's, but they don't compare to the muscular/angular apperance of the 3rd gens.
