[DarkShadow]

so its either a Lumina, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Corsica, Or beretta.....

all pretty icky choices...

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE LIM GASKETS!

 

[Dasfinc]

For winter, I'm just gonna replace the brake pads, a missing door panel, and fix the trunk latch and call it done. If I decide to keep it more permanently I'll due a tune-up in spring, it runs/shifts great right now, so I'm not gonna fux with it.

I had mentioned I wouldn't have a problem with a 94+ 3.1 auto powered car due to the electronic trans.

Its a 2 door.

Its black.

Has cool-ass factory wheels.

 

[DarkShadow]

so that narrows it down to a monte or beretta

probably a beretta z26 considering theyre the only ones with cool lookin wheels from the factory...

 

[EmersonHart13]

They had a Beretta manual with the V6, that was fairly cool.

lumina van

 

[Dasfinc]

*not actual car that I bought, but identical, same year/color/wheels, mine just isn't as minty as that one, Mine has a few small spots of surface rust, otherwise is in damn good shape.*

 

[Yaj Yak]

put an l67 in it.

You're already the second person to say that, Lol.

I highly highly HIGHLY doubt I'm touching this thing.

Its got new tires *nubbys and all* a new head unit, a drives/runs/shifts GREAT.

It may need a power steering pump, and it needs the front window track for the driver side, and the driver side door card, and that is it

There's also a chance for the LHC to end the world before spring, so we will see. I was hoping more for SHO wagon come spring, not L67 Beretta, that and I miss RWD already.

Nice! Good choice

 

[Dasfinc]

Nice! Good choice

I told you guys I had no problem buying a 3.1 so long as it was newer than a 94

Drove it home from barrington last night, nearly 100 miles non-stop, not a peep out of the car, ran flawless the whole way.

Can you wield duel berettas while driving your beretta? Counter-strike style?

I've got a Car and Driver issue from like 1989 where they compare the car Beretta versus the gun Beretta

 

[Nasty93]

i had a 96 z26 and honestly... i loved that car to death

 

[CamaroSS]

i had a 96 z26 and honestly... i loved that car to death

ive always liked them, and for awhile i wanted one for a beater, something about them

 

[Dasfinc]

Its a sturdy little car, runs like a top, motor is pretty damn strong, and shifts wonderfully *which were my 2 biggest worries*

I think its a sharp looking little car, previous owner got a DUI, dumped it dirty cheap.

they look like mini Turd Gens.

 

[Poopshinanigans]

is this how you'll be rolling now?

 

[Dasfinc]

Nono, use this picture instead on that:

 

[slowchevy]

needs moar pix. FWIW, I've always had a thing for those.

 

[LSx S10]

now, the next thing you need to do is get a 3400 or 3500, and then turbo it. go to v6z24.com, for some reason they all go 60degree v6 instead of a 90. always swapping them into 2nd gen cavaliers and Berettas. lots of info there.
