Ahh.... I really missed out

There was a 92tbird for sale with a 347  stroker and t-56 tranny for $2000 with 10 k miles and 500 n/a dyno proven power. Some one traded it in to a dealer ship twoards a 2006 covette.

I called in on it 10 minutes after it sold.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

yeah. Honestly I am lucky it was to a dealer cause then they go by blue book. I was really close to getting it though. Would have been a fun car.
