Hello, this is my soon to be 89 notch! its factory 5.0 auto also got shaved door handles/gas cap with key poppers installed. I believe the color is called tropical yellow, also has the sand beige interior(or what remains after all these years) it was my brothers first car in high school but in the early 2000s he raced a nitrous s10 and ended up blowing the motor! Now its been sitting since then slowly leaching back in to the environment (thankfully no major rust!) hopefully this year it will be in the driveway to be worked on!

I've also been a lurker for a while now and figured id finally join after running into issues with my buddies 1991!

(sorry for the bad photos its all I could find at the moment)

Man, that awesome that all the parts looks like they're there.


Dig that thing out of the weeds and get us some [good] images of everything.


Start looking for a donor 302 HO (maybe out of a truck) and an 8.8 with disk brakes.

Give it a good power wash. After that pull the seats, center console, and the carpet. You need to verify that the floor, door jam area where the door hinges attach, and the cowl are all free of rust. After that then start looking under the car at the frame rails specifically at the rear of the car and where the k-member (cradle that hold the motor) attaches to the front frame rails.
