It’s not pretty. The pics make it look better than it is in opinion. The driver’s side door won’t close because the hinges were tweaked when the door flew open during tow. ---

Because those are 84-85 wheels and if it is an 85 then it has the hot air motor. all the ttypes do and some of the 86’s, those rims are ttype rims, and could of been painted, but yeah could be an 85 hot air car. ---

Yeah I’m new to these cars, I haven’t done much research yet. But I’m willing to drop some coin to do a swap right. (posting from Jam’s comp) ---

> [@cky89](#): > > Doesn’t look too bad for $1k, looks like someone took a messy shit on the back seat though. I’m sure it’s an 86. For some reason this car has a mix of early rims and the 86-87 rims. Also, I don’t think these came with 700-R4s. I’m pretty sure they came with the 200-4R. You can double check me if you want. I have a built 200-4R behind my blown 302 and it’s a pretty kick ass tranny! ---

If the cars an 86 ill pick it up, but if its an 84 or 85. They made less gn’s those years, but there not worth anything. Let us all know the exact year. Looks like it can be restored. ---

No turbo regals came with a 700 tranny, not a single one of them. If built correctly, your right, they can handle a ton of power. ---

My 200r4 was bulit proof! It was build to withstand over 800 hp. So my engine would never have killed it. I keep getting emails from the guy who bought the car, he loves it. ---

Frame is shot. Educated guess says the floors are done too. It’s been sitting in dirt since 1999 (last inspection sticker). I know the guy won’t take $400. Last time I tried he turned down $600. He said he either needs $750 or $950. Can’t remember. Still haven’t heard back from him. Left my number on the car on Friday. Note is was gone Sat when I went to take pics, but no call back. I tried to get the VIN today but it’s snowing like fuckin crazy and there’s too much condensation (now it’s ice, actually) in the window to see it. I also could not read it from the door sticker. Sticker is really faded. Where else can I find the VIN? ---
