  • My brother is picking her up on Monday

    for once I approve of my brother's choice in car, his first car, I'm actually a bit jelous

    Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

    2695.
    Here would be double.
    I checked out the site and found "many cars under $1000"

    keep those standards up, people like me get to walk away with stuff. ;D

    the extremely low mileage grand marguis.. $3695.
    here again, that would over doubled.

    I think I am going to vomit.

    I bet the old jap car I have been slaving over is $500 there... :

          Word to the wise, that car weights in at over 4000lbs. One with out the t-tops is around 3300lbs. I'd take an automatic over the six speed manual transmission. I hate when I miss 3rd gear and that is with a Hurst short throw shifter.

              yeah, 3.4, automatic

              Though he may be converting to a hot rodder, said he wants posi, and if he ever gets the time, money, and another car to drive while it is being done, he'd like to swap in an LT1 and 6 speed
              He knows what Positraction is, I had to explain to him what an LT1 is

              Should be able to find a rear end with posi in a j/y cheap

                  That is a good bit of money for a V6 but it does look clean

                    Pitch the Metric 60 V6 and go for a real Buick 3800 in there! He'll still have more power than pretty much any F-body from the 80's and get to keep the V6 insurance.

                        That car does not weight over 4000lbs, it's more like 3600lbs or at least that is how much my Camaro weighs. ;)

                            Why do people buy these things? If you want a sporty secretary car, then you got a great buy... If you wanted a pony car in the traditional sense then you are missing a few key ingredients...

                            Not trying to rain on your brother's parade, but a 3.4 V6 Camaro is not a good start to anything. Especially with an automatic.

                            Great cruiser, I guess...

                              Come on it's not that bad, just think STS Turbo and a 3800rpm stall and some 4.11 out back. There wouldn't be much that would touch it on the street.


                              Plus V6 or V8 these cars handle like a dream.
