I just picked up a 1985 gt standard with some mods like full duals H pipe with cats long tubes, K&N filter, accel coil, a bigger rad and oil or tranny cooler not sure which, sub frames, and more. It has stock ten holes with 275's on the back. Anyway $340cdn needs some tlc but I think I lucked out. I am planning on turning this in to a street beast and any and all advice will be appreciated. I will be modifying as money permits and will post pics asap.
 
Looking for draglite rims, new seats, pro 5.0 shifter aluminum driveshaft possibly 8.8 rearend and possibly other mods that can be shipped to me. Obviously I am trying to get parts cheapest way possible. Anyone know any local performance places or have any good deals.???
 
That is not a typo it was $340 and its not a pos either I am having trouble starting it with the key but pushed it a few times and besides idling high and a little hesitation when you step on the gas, it screams!!! I have yet to road test the car really but with some work I think I will be very happy. I bought a new battery,solenoid and starter and checked all the connections besides the clutch safety thing I dont know what. I charged the battery overnite then tried to start it and it cranked for about 1 sec the nothing I gave it maybe 2 more tries with the key.......nothing then had to jump out of the car to unplug the battery charger that was billowing black smoke. I guess I should of unplugged it before trying to start the car but I do not think that should of happened either way ..no..?? The kicker is I borrowed it and I will likely or shall I say will likely be asked to replace it just because thats the way the guy is because the charger is probably older than me.
 
Just wanted to add it starts now the soleniod (starter relay) was not mounted properly to the fenderwell and I got better bolts and she fires right up!!! Best money I have ever spent.(buying this car).
