I don't like posting other peoples adverts but this is one nice car. Can't believe that people buy these and never drive them.

Hope it finds a good home but for that price most likely not.

Wonder how long the gas has been sitting in the tank. That may be a mess waiting for a new owner.

Would probably have a lot of bugs to get out.

That's the way I feel about Grandsports. However, I do like the 95 pacecar. I had the opportunity to buy one with 70k miles on it for the asking price of $11k and I was considering it because the orig owner had kept it so clean. I didn't go thru with it because I really don't want an automatic C4. Also note that he said the dealer practically begged him to buy it as it had been on the lot for almost 2 model years and he got it for a song. The paint scheme appeals to few, but I happen to be one of them I guess.

I bought a 1990 with 16K. I changed all the fluids and runs fine. I did need a new alternator and clutch master cylinder. I do believe the previous owner put a few miles on each year...

However...in my opinion that is the worst job Chevrolet did on a pace car....those colors are horrid. Sorry if I offended anyone who has that car. Opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one.

So... Kimmer is correct concerning his post being a 35th and not a pace car.

If I were still in California I would be checking every nook and cranny trying to scape up some money for that 35th. It looks very clean.

Yes. I was referring to the pace car. That anniversary is killer. I love the wheels. I would be afraid what that white interior would look like after a few 100 miles though.
