Paid $500 for my 3800SC, did my own mounts, and a lot of other fabrication (exhaust, wiring, alt mount). That's keeping it on the cheap side. Aside from the engine, it's all the other little stuff like fuel lines, hoses, CA intake, and belts that adds up. |

I paid 500 for my GTP too. I got the 86 GT (the motor had a rod knock, 40K MI, go figure) and an 86 SE (running with no title) for $1300. I sold the 86 SE for $400 and took a set of good BFG radial TA's off it. So $900 for the gt with good tires and spotless interior.[This message has been edited by hercimer01 (edited 05-13-2011).]

I have friend who has me RR transmissions so he can rebuild them in his garage. He wants me to rebuild it, $500 for parts and he will step me through the rebuild for one RR in exchange. I can work off the money, 200 for each RR. That's how I paid for the motor gaskets.
The tranny fluid was pitch black with 130K miles. Honestly, I want to take my chances with the trans as is, new fluid and filter. I drove it before i took it apart and it seemed fine. What do you guys think.

Should I have cleaned the grime off before I took it apart?
