Where are you people getting these deals?

'83 GSL - $1,200
'85 GSL-SE - $800

there is a gold first gen at the police auction last wednesday of this month here in Topeka. I bet it goes for thirty dollars or less.

A steal at $1500 CAN in 1999.....I've personally put 50K on it and the only real repair that had to be done were the brakes, regular maintenace excluded. I shouldn't say this...something's gonna break now:( I'm betting it's the tranny.

1500$ Canadian for a 1984 GSL IMSA Body Kit (Targa Top) engien blew 1 week after I bought it, having so much fun re-building it :) :) :)

would I do it again?

HELL YEAH!

cheers'

Free 85gsl , coworker said i could have it if i wanted to mess with getting it running, main problem was clogged vac lines , broken windshield, rust in fuel, put about $300 into it, general overlooked maintenance. Runs fine now, body straight and no rust anywhere.

2001 '85 GS - $500

2001 - 1978 Series 1
Cost $NZ1000 (which is about $US400).

After 1 year.. and 8 grand later. She was Ported and Boosted.

How much
 

$2125.00 for a '85 GSL-SE with 139,000miles in May 2001. Needed a trans, picked one up for $125 I think, at a yard. To me it was a good deal.

$8500AUD with T2 engine, 1st gen auto with manual shift and 3000rpm stall kit :) Was good for a 13.9 on 8psi and crap street rubber.

As for what I have spent since....um....

There have been a few "gimmies" and "haul this thing off's". But these are the 7's I have actually had more than a week behind the wheel.

Where does the list for REPU's and RX3's start?
