Sold! That's really good $ if he got anything near asking price. Maybe that model helped out a bit...

Yeah, these were uncivilized brutes, but I'd still love to own one.

Another cherry of a vehicle locally, this time it's a pickup that we all seem to love, a last generation Toyota Tundra, top of the line Limited, with under 100,000kms, elderly owned, and undercoated yearly.  All for the low price of $17,500

That Tundra is a bargain at that price!

Man the new Nissan Z is not doing so well, at least in our area.  I'm not sure I've even seen one on the road.

This is the top banana and they have to reduce the price over $10k to entire someone to buy, but there is another one that n the province that is actually 2023 manual performance model sitting on the lot new, similar discount.

My God that's well preserved. It's interesting how many ridiculously low mile irocs (or similar Camaros of that era) have shown up in recent years, at least a dozen or more. This one is interesting because it's got the 5.7L, which is fairly uncommon as most got the 5.0L, along with the G80 rear axle and rear discs. However, it's otherwise got zero options; base interior, no power windows, locks, mirrors, no t-tops, no overhead console, no IROC striping, etc. Someone wanted just the performance goods, absolutely nothing else, and then never drove it....

And the 454SS trucks lately with no miles. One out there with 7 miles iirc, a 1990 model.

No T roof is a selling point IMO. All my buddies T/As with T roof leaked.

I currently own f-bodies with all 3 versions (hardtop, t-top, convert). Each have their pros and cons, and you'll find f-body guys in each camp. Personally, it depends on how you use the car....If it's a race car, or an all-weather driver, hardtop is probably the way to go. As a fair weather cruiser, I like the convert, but then the 80's vibes from the t-top setup are pretty hard to beat.

For the record though, not all the t-tops leak, they just need a little care. My T/A is water tight, and back in like 2015-2016 I was dailying it in Ontario without any leaks. I rub a little dielectric grease on the seals and make sure that the drains are clear. The 4th generation t-tops (93-02) are far superior too - don't think I've ever seen a leaky set of those.

Had a Monte Carlo SS with T-tops that didn't leak. Rattle? yes, wind noise at highway speed? plenty. I'd love another with or without, did like the t-tops myself.
