Is this a good deal on a bridgeported 85?
What would be a fair price on an 85 with 134k on the body, Motor has been bridgeported, has dellotro side-draft carbs, racing beat header and exhaust, recent paint, emissions taken off. A couple of rear interior pieces missing, but said to run well.
Any idea of what I should buy this for?

What model 85?
Hows the inside?(Seats, Dash, etc.)
What are they asking?
Have you drove it?
Have you looked behind the storage bins? Or under neath?

I haven't checked it out in person yet. I think it would be the model with the least options, as the car was going to be set up for drag, and they wouldn't want the extra weight of the power options and sunroof.
What should I be looking for under the storage bins?
I have an 89 convertible and have had two other 2nd gens, but I don't know what to watch for with a first.

It's a GSL? Is that good?
Ok, What does the GSL model have standard?
It's a 4-5 hr drive to check this thing out in person, so I want to be prepared. I think I can pick it up for $1200. Is that a good price?

Most GSL models have everthing and come with the limited slip rear end.
If it is $1200 and the body is great and it runs good it would be a good deal. The stuff inside can be replaced and the car can be painted.
Behind the storage bins check for rust. Also make sure it has the disk brake rear end.
See if he can e-mail you pics.

The paint on it should be good. It was painted less than a year ago she said. However, I don't think the motor had new seals put in when it was bridgeported. I'm wondering if it's a really a streetport and not a bridgeport. The girl seems pretty up on her rotaries though. Too bad she lives 4 hrs away!
I'll be able to check it out monday, and I will take some pics of it. I'll see about posting them if I'm able. As luck has it, I have to drive to Lima, OH from TN for work, which puts me within 15 minutes of where the car is when I'm driving through. I'll have to see if it's worth it, then get a buddy to drive me back the 4 hrs to pick it up if I decide to get it.
Thanks for the info.
If anyone knows a source for some red interior trim for this car, let me know.
