I agree, if I wasn't so set on a 6 speed and the L98 engine I'd already gone to have looked at the car, it doesn't look its in AMAZING shape, but VERY good shape for 2k dollars....

NC has excellent paint AND a stick. For ASKING $5900, I would not consider that other "temptation". Just passing it along in reference to Mr. B's stated preferences. Stick, A body, not red.

And that was a 10 second scan for my area. It's filling up with C5s now, but there are still some C4s

Paint alone is, what, $5K minimum?

Then there's this, and this

Or even this?

And I totally second the above comment from Mike100.

Happy hunting

Seems kinda high fora parts car..

I paid $4200 for my '94 with 97k miles. It's in pretty darn good shape, only needed about $300 in parts (ball joints, couple leaky gaskets, and a noisy alternator).

The '84 in the first link is about a $1200 parts car IMO.

The '84, I'd buy for ~$1200 because it's a stick, document what can be done to an '84 with pics/vids, time slips and dyno sheets.... then VettKart it.
