Got A TPI car
The other day a guy came by when I was washing my car and asked if I wanted to sell my car I replied "no" them he asked if I wanted to by one turns out it was a 1989 Iroc-Z 350 TPI, hypertech chip, 3 Inch exhuast Flowmaster deleated cat, B&M slapstick shifter. . He said it needed a little body work (that was a understatment) so I asked how much he said $600-700 dollars So I got the adresess and looked at it, its a ok car, and for 600 dollars HELL YEAH. I could part it out for more than that! so I went and drive it today and Holy Crap it would kill my car at half throttle!! It flys compared to my car!!! So I got it and here are some pics I am going to get it tomarrow. Cause it has a broke shifter cable and it was in low gear and no tag so I am going to get the tag off my car and some tires for it and drive it home tomarrow.

It got wrecked in 1995 and they didnt do a real good job of fixing it the front nose is not bolted in completely there are bolts missing like the headlight bracket and you can move it about 2 inchs up so I will fix that I am trying to decided weather or not to drive it or just part it out.
