He's had it for about a year. Didn't have an engine (just the body, trans, that's it..) so he transplanted the one out of his old 87. Of course the wiring would be off so he never hooked up the comp (direct wire). Just shows EGR Code 32 and Low Coolant.

Runs it with two wheel brakes (Fronts, I have no idea how..) because the Tee at the rear axle is either rotted, or stripped. All it needs to be a fully operational battle station (Berlinetta = Starwars Camaro) is a new 21 buck Tee fitting from Advance Auto down the street and a 30 buck carb rebuild kit. Would have done both himself but got busy with work and college (the inverse of myself.)

Gonna drive it on Saturday because today got scrubbed due to him getting shafted into working late today. Gives me more time to budget. Asked for more pics of the typical rust out areas on a 3rd gen to see just how good the body is (looks to have been restored).

He's asking $1200 (it's got no computer by essence and needs a brake and carb job..) Mileage on the body is not really known but the engine is (again, came out of his '87) and at least I know he's no 3rd gen novice.

Make sure you check for dash cracks too - a common problem on third gens and a BIATCH to fix if you ever decide to fully restore the thing.
