  • Wanted: 3.8 5-speed f-body

    I am in the market for a new daily driver right now.

    I am looking specifically for a 3.8 5-speed fbody because my buddy has one and it gets FANTASTIC mileage while not being a completely lame DD. If anyone sees anything please let me know.

    It must be in good shape and relatively low miles. I am not buying junk to daily drive. I dont want to work on this thing too much It also must have cruise control because i do quite a bit of driving. Beyond that, i am pretty much open... i cant be too much fussier than that if i want to find one.

    Thanks in advance!

    Also if anyone is wondering, yes this does mean my truck is for sale now. I will be posting it here soon.

      Red isnt my choice color, but if its been taken care of i would definitely check that out, yes Thatd be about my limit on the mileage, but condition speaks much more than miles to me.

        I'll see if he still has it. I haven't talked to him in like 2-3 weeks. He is a tech and super anal about maintenance. His dad bought the car new and it's been taken care of and about 90% of those miles are highway.

                    thanks. yes, looking at both, would prefer newer. Id rather spend more than less and get a nice one but lets say 8500 is my limit.

                        These could be worth looking at joel. All would need a few things done (that wing) but are decent.

                              I dont want a modded car, that first one even has a notchback! nasty!!!

                              The red one looks nice, is this on the west side?

                              The silver one couldnt be any more perfect, but unfortunately I am second in line on that car and someone already put a deposit on it I am going to call again tomorrow and make sure it is sold.
