hey everyone..im in san antonio, and was just wondering if theres a place i could find a thirdgen for roughly about $3k (in good shape?)

or is there even a large enough amount of them available around our area of tx?

thanks for your help!

 

Finding a $3,000 3rd gen in S.A. is like Bush finding bin laden.
Especially one of the few that are actually in good shape.

There's this BEAUTIFUL IROC-Z sitting in this apt. complex(for a while now) so I assume the motor is shot. I thought about leaving a note on the windshield asking to buy it, if you want me to, I can drop by and leave a note there. This IROC isn't like all the other 3rd gens that have been beat up around S.A.

 

See you guys are lucky back when I was in the third gen scene you couldn't buy much of a third gen for 3K, no TPI car atleast in decent shape. But In any case now a days you can get a decent higher mile TPI car, look for a LB9 Tuned Port 5 speed or a L98 Tuned Port TH700R4. The L98, is a 350, eith digit of the vin should be an 8. All L98s are autos, RPO code B2L, the LB9 is the 305, but with the 5 speed they are fun to drive. Stay away from RS unless its uper clean, not much an be done with the L03 305 TBI.

 

im glad you posted those numbers and codes, i dont know much at all about these cars ;D

 

Fortunately, I already have one in my collection!


BTW, for $3k you are gonna get a beater if you want the 350 TPI. If you are lucky, you'll land a 305 that's "decent" for that price.

I bought my '91 in Fla for $3200. If I had bought the same car in TX it would have been closer to $5k.

Good luck with your search. Let me know if you have any questions.
