Help! Someone has kidnapped Mr88GT

[88GT]

And replaced him with an imposter. How else do you explain the man in the chair at the other computer saying he'd consider replacing the wrecked GT with a '94 or '95 5.0?

 

[SaintsNSinners]

Maybe he has those ear bug things from Star Trek, the things Kahn put in peoples ear

 

[jd4320t]

Oh no..

I'd consider one ONLY if it were a Cobra.

As people get older, they learn from past mistakes.

I've been away from here for a few month. Has there been another wreck? Enquiring minds....

 

[Liberty1911]

I'd replace it with a Camaro. Just sayin'.

No, but we are rednecks to the core as we still have the GT, exactly as she was brought home the day of the wreck, sitting in our driveway turn-around. But she's at least covered. (Mr88GT cries when he sees the front end all smooshed and cracked and demolished.) The power train will be going on his notch as soon as we get a few other priorities completed.

Why would I replace one non-running vehicle with another one? If we're going to replace a fox body with a GM vehicle it's going to be a '68-70 Chevelle.

 

[Birds Away]

Just for clarification, you want him back?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

My 86 GT-disguised-as-an-LX got pretty badly mashed, but if I knew then what I know now, I would've fixed it.

 

[N8RV]

... If we're going to replace a fox body with a GM vehicle it's going to be a '68-70 Chevelle.

WHAT? You'd replace it with a CHEVETTE? (that's a stupid emoticon for "eek!")

Oh, wait ... you said "Chevelle." My bad.

Never mind.

 

[Tnichols00]

Hey why not replace the light nimble foxbody with a big boy sn95. I mean who doesnt love a newer model with a little excess plastic right, even if she cant perform as well?

If you are going to get a GT I think your only options are the Foxbody or the 2012+

 

[steveh_131]

there are people who actually want those?

Midlife crisis an all. I love fox bodies, but they are getting pretty expensive. Finding someone to fix her 88 is going to be hard to do as well as finding a good doghouse to replace the front of hers. I just noticed the cheap SN95's out there that can at least stop, which is what foxes don't do well (I.E. the last turnaround at IRP or whatever it is now). Just can't find a good replacement that doesn't need a ton of work. Don't have time to do a ton of work. and the 2011+ have my eye, but at 23K I'd probably be better served to just by another truck.

I also am having a hard time justifying anything nice since I seem to be a magnet for drunks and crazies. Okay the Avalance that took out 88's GT was neither, but the arse that waved her through traffic without checking the other (my) lane was at least a moron.

They are cheap for a reason, my friend.

 

[Liberty1911]

Why not go classic? I'm not much of a Mustang fan, but the 67-68's are really nice, a la Bullet.

demand. The newer ones pretty much rendered the '94-2009(?) models obsolete in every sense of the word. But as fugly as they are, they can still put up some numbers....properly tweaked, of course.

You must have missed the part about not wanting to spend a lot.

 

[Kedric]

I agree the 05+ model blew them away, for a reason.

They can certainly be built up, just like any of them. I just find the body style so unappealing I would rather dump the money into the old one versus buying a 94-05 model PLUS having to tweak and modify it until you were happy with it.

Keep us updated!

'69 Chevelle, good idea!!!!! Small block, or BIG Block ?????
