honestly my plan for it is to get it fixed up just enough to be able to drive it to shows and leave a for sale sign in the window. figure if i can keep my inital investment around $2500 to get it on the road, see if i can get $6500 for it and make a nice little profit

That's great that the interior is in decent shape other than the head liner and t-tops. Go for it.

I'd say go for it but at the same time I've never delt with a car thats sat that long so I couldn't say much.

When I get back from deployment I'll likely be picking up a mid 80s or so Grand Prix. If I come across a good deal on a 2+2 I'll jump on it but most likely I'll have to settle for a regular GP. Not that I'd complain cause I really like those cars. You don't see them nearly as often at cruise ins and shows as you do most of the other G-bodies. Plus I have ideas. Sleeper-related ideas

I'd call NY and tell them one of their taxi cabs was stolen

Seriously, buy that one off of skylark65 Ryan. Drop in one of those big, bad-*** Chevy crate motors in it. I like the idea of a sleeper. They're fun!

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but if it sounds too good to be true....it probably is. On the other side, $1,500 isn't really alot of money if you like it enough and can afford it. Good luck with your decision!
