the 5 speed caue i think its a non turbo. so its should just be a standar 5 speed. the l28 motor cuas its more displacement and its EFI so more power. and who know what else... engine compartment harness of coarse. il have a spare set of identical wheels lol... or sell them.. tehn mabe part it see if i can make money off of it. who knows.

Hun, part that car out and sell on eBay. You'd be amazed at how much profit you can make - yes, even screws and nuts (no pun intended - lol). Many of my best-sellers were small parts that are very hard to find, and some people take for granted, except those who are looking for the parts. Yeah, it's a lot of work parting the car out, taking pix, uploading them, listing them, etc. ... but it can be well worth it with the parts that are in highest demand.

Nice Find! Like she said part it out, Youd be surprised how much you can make. And if you really want a L28et I would just wait. Use the money from parting out the car to buy one. And if you cant find one I know someone who is selling theirs.

Dude!
That is some serious rust on that car.
I'll bet if you poured Naval Jelly on it, it would completely disappear and leave nothing but the wheels and tires behind!

Oooh, have you seen this link yet, Snowie? Are your A-pillars in good condition (he said any color - yours appear tan)? If so, you have a potential buyer: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/wanted-wtb-wtt-70/looking-pillars-21465/
