What kind of weather will you be driving in? What are you looking to do with the car (track it, drag it, or just DD it)? Do you plan to modify it?

I still love em, one of my all-time favorite cars. Or you can get yourself an LT1 Caprice and beat up/mod it without worrying about ruining a "real SS". Throw an impala grill and spoiler on there and paint the chrome moldings body color and you got yourself Impala looks!

i think if its sold by the time you get there, you can find another F-Body at that price, shoot, ive seen LS1 F-Bodys go for less than that! Do it.
