This is a very old Pontiac Firebird that's never run. Even assuming it's in perfect condition, it's still just a mullet on wheels.

Granted the some of the cosmetics aren't my taste in any stretch of the imagination, the mechincals do seem sound, and these are some of the lightest of the K platform, so there is little doubt in my mind this car can scoot and GASP handle the twisties well. But anyone doing work like this to a Turbo Mopar who thinks they can get ANYWHERE near what the put into it is a moron.

A Shelby Turbo II was a bit more since they found an intercooler somewhere. Turbo IIIs are a different matter entirely. The Shelby CSX wasn't fast, the VNT wasn't fast, the GLH wasn't fast. The non-intercooled ones were set up like superchargers with the throttle body before the turbo which makes swapping to an intercooler a bit more interesting.

All Turbo IIs were intercooled. Shelby badge had nothing to do with it. Tweaking the boost and premimum fuel on a T2 will get you to 200 easy. There were a couple of variations on the T1 as well, so swapping a later T1 (after '87ish) to intercooled is actually very simple.

Dropping off a family friend, I saw this on the roadside and swung back to take a look: '89 Corolla GT-S with 183k mi, 50k since the timing belt and clutch were done. Body is straight, doesn't seem to be any rust, just really oxidized paint, which you can make out from my very dark picture. Reasonably clean cloth interior, the manual tranny option. The rear bumper was tweaked some years ago, according to the seller. He also said everything worked and he only stopped using it as a work vehicle a few days ago. He seemed honest, and insisted that I come drive it to check it out and inspect everything, which is a positive sign. Since I don't live down in Carrboro, NC, I can't really act on it. But it seems like a reasonable deal for what it was. The sign said $1700, but over the phone he said $1500 cash. PM me for the number if you're interested.

Piano posted:I'm always confounded by these m3 conversion guys, mainly because (1) before I knew anything at all about cars(average person), I didn't know what an m3 really was or cared at all. (2) I still know almost jack poo poo about bmws but I know enough about cars in general that I can spot a real m3 from across a parking lot. I'm similarly puzzled by those fake brake rotors you can stick behind your hubcaps to make it look like you have disc brakes. If you care enough about cars to know about rotors and such, you can instantly see they're fake. If you don't care much about cars, you wouldn't even know what it was supposed to be imitating, and couldn't possibly be impressed.

I'm sure it was a really nice car in its time, but that sounds super expensive to me. It seems like he just added on the $3000 he spent to replace the head gasket onto his asking price.

They ARE quite rare. The coupes are uncommon enough, but the coupe with the MT is something you almost never see. The last one I saw for sale (and I've gone looking a couple times) was years ago...earlier, I think, I remember it being a bit more square. Thing had like 300,000 miles on it, but looked like it was straight out of the showroom.

Coincidentally, shortly after seeing that ad, I saw another one for $2900, also a coupe with a manual, and this one has 162k miles. I guess this must be a good area to find them?
