    tax time is near and i will be getting quite alot back. i was planning on putting about 1000 to 1500 into my prix but a friend of mine has a relative that has a near clean 87 monte ss and they want about the same for it. SO! what would you do? the monte has the original 305 with an auto tranny in primer gray. all it need are paint, exhaust, and prolly a tune up...ect. i think i should get it.

    I would buy the SS. Especially if it is that cheap. That body style is killer. My neighbor has one. Not sure what he has under the hood but it is my wake up call almost every morning

    305 with new top end = 330 crank HP, 350 with top end kit is 420, 383 is 500 horse.

    So... get the SS, paint it, restore it. Then build a monster out of it and enjoy your GTP as a nice faster than most DD.

    awesome im gettin it. but if im goin to mod it, it wont be worth anything. if i leave the original block in and mod that then it would be worth more but a 350 in there would drop the resale value. trust me alot of small block guys in my town and they suggest stock if sellin it and 400 small block if moddin it. so... im gettin a 400 sbc

    Keep in mind that GM cars back then had crap fit & finish. New they were junk and stock they were lucky to get below mid 15s in the 1/4 mile. I like that style, but keep in mind reliability and body integrity were worse than our GPs.

    ESPECIALLY G bodies... Make sure the underbody is absolutely mint else you're buying soon to be junk.
