haha hence why Im leaning more towards this car, regardless of mileage. And honestly the car is sounding like it was some old guys or whoever had it drove it like a granny. From what Im hearing the thing is mechanically sound so I think Im gonna do it. Gonna go look at this 93 today for ***** and giggles.. I think its gonna be a polished turd, guy put a distributor in it last night now it wont start

If you're used to the quality and fitment of your truck, you'll HATE the interior of the f-body. I almost bought one a few years back, 2000 SS, and I'm glad I ended up passing. Every one that I've been in has had very poor interior fit and finish and lots of noises. I'm with GMCtrk...you couldn't pay me to own an f-body personally (especially an LT1). To each his own though.

I miss my F-body. Here's an old pic.

They are alot easier to get into the 11's than these trucks. First mod should be some 4.11's.

All the ones I've driven havent been too bad. Its usually the driver seat that goes out from people and their fat asses flopping down in the seat...
This guys throwing some newer seats in it for me since the ones in it are pretty trashed. Car looks like it was owned by an older guy or just someone who wanted it to last so Im not worried.

no no no, I was trying to get a loan for a newer silv since I missed my truck, well thanks to the shitty economy I cant get one because I havent been at my job long enough. So after jumping through a **** load of hoops and bailing on that idea I decided to try and pursue an F-body like I've always wanted. That brings me in at having an F-body and my bike... free and clear

and who knows I may have the F-body a little while and bail on it and make some decent money off of it and go back with a truck, as of now Im wanting to keep it for awhile but time will tell
