New FC Owner from Ohio!
Hello folks, recently couldn't pass up the chance to buy a 1987 GXL locally for $400. Its Just a rolling chassis, no motor or trans, but I was looking for a project and this was a good price. I'm currently doing some research on swaps but for now I'm just getting it cleaned up and tinkering around a bit.
From the little research I've done this seems like a great place for info and the fan base seems huge! Looking forward to learning more about these cars! |
Welcome! Would love to see some pics of the car! Where in OH are you from?
|
Here it is as it sits currently. I'm pretty happy with how clean the shell is for $400.
I'm located in Sugarcreek, Ohio, sort of central / northeastern. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...efe7d4788d.jpg |
Nice score on that! Was that car recently on Craigslist? I saw one identical to it with some stupid skull sticker in the engine bay.
|
Yes it was, listed in Mansfield! He actually had a 305 v8 in it and tried to sell it like that, but ended up pulling it and selling it as a shell. I actually already picked up an ls1/t56 this weekend, I'm just getting ready to start digging in!
|
If it was already converted to a V8 car and if stuff was welded then you may as well put a V8 back in it. I almost bought that car as a parts car but decided I didn't want to deal with selling the things that I wasn't going to use. Glad the car went to a good home!
