Roller widebody w/ sunroof for project in AL/FL/GA

I figure this will take a while, so I'll post now.

 

I'm in the Tallahassee, FL area and am preparing for my next project. Having done some research, I've researched a feasible late model motor/trans swap idea (Ecotec/MA5) and need a car to put it in. I've owned an '86 and an '88 SQ & like the car.

 

Here's what I'm looking for- I'm not in a hurry, so I'm particular about the car & location:

  • Widebody
  • Prefer manual, but will consider an auto
  • Sunroof
  • Black interior- may consider tan, leather or cloth makes no difference
  • Interior must be complete/nearly complete- i.e. dash, climate controls, etc.
  • AC- need the main parts to be there- condenser & evaporator under dash
  • No rust through on rails or sheetmetal
  • Paint condition not so important. Color preference yellow, blue, black, red, but will consider others. I also like white, but it seems like all of them have the maroon interior (see below)
  • Low cost- looking for a project that got started and ran out of time/money/interest, price range around $500
  • Donations for a good home. I have a shop and keep my "kids" out of the weather, so if you have a car you just can't get rid of but don't want to scrap it, I'll save it if it meets my criteria

 

Here are deal killers- please don't waste your time and mine asking about these:

  • Maroon interior
  • Maroon interior
  • Maroon interior (get the point? ^_^ )
  • No sunroof
  • Rusted through rails or sheetmetal
  • A great deal 1,000~2,000 miles away- the cost to ship an inoperable car is more than the cost of the car

 

 

I have a car hauler & could pickup in the north part of Florida, the SE part of Alabama, or the south part of Georgia.

 

You can reply here with any candidates or PM me.

 

Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm not on facebook. I'll see if there is another way to view the car. Don't need all that extra stuff, so maybe the price would be lower. Also had one pop up tonight in Orlando:

starion 1988 is sold complete less engine and transmission. For more information you can call or text 4077314436

 

I just can't understand why people bother to take the time to post an ad, and then use the smallest picture (or no picture) they can and then list next to nothing about what they are selling. They are only hurting themselves with needless inquiries. That is if they ever bother to reply.

:wub:

Update- the shell in Orlando was re-posted at $1700, way too high IMO. I've asked for more info for the yellow one in Illinois posted in the FS section here.

 

I see the $1700 price has disappeared:

I'm in nw Florida and this is probably the hardest part of the country to find any of these cars.

Gl man and if I see one around I'll let you know.

Check pensacola cl also u might get lucky.

I may know of one around the Marianna or fountain fl area I'll check on.

I drove 12 hrs for mine round trip ..every time it seems about the same distance and time it takes to get one.

Um, thanks, but I posted this in August 2013. :)

 

I made the mistake of buying a C4 Corvette the following January when I couldn't find a SQ (an ideal one turned up in Orlando 2M later) and have listed the Vette here as a sale/trade.
