So it needs a new home.
Monday, August 22, 2011 1:36 PM
My 85 cavy vert type 10 needs a new home. It's a 4 speed manual with the 2.8.

As much as I want to keep it I just don't have the time or space anymore.

















I started swapping on Z parts to it as you can see and do have a front bumper and skirts to put on it still. The interior is stripped out right now as I was cleaning it out, and swapping in 3rd gen seats.

It's having a random dying issue that I haven't been able to track down yet. It runs perfectly fine then randomly cuts out. You wait a few minutes and it fires right up like nothing happen. An electrical bug of some form I'm sure.

I want this to go to a good home and some one I know will give the car the chance it deserves.

I know this should have been in the classifieds but I know the 1st gen owners on this site are die hards so figured I would put it here.

PM me for more information the car is in North Brunswick NJ right now and I'm willing to let it go very cheap.

I would be willing to bet if you replace the battery cables the random kill goes away. I had that several years ago...

looks like a good project, 2.8 manual droptop is a fun combination. I have that with my bird.

I hope it goes to a good home. I wish I had a barn, I would take it off of your hands

Type 10s hold a special place in my heart for some reason.

I was curious if the 3rd Gen seats were a direct bolt in , or did you need to do a mod?

Seats are a direct bolt in and on the hood is tape my temp solution to the typical fiberglass splintering.

John you talking to me or him?

Thanks for the info!! :-) Never knew the 3rd gen seats were a direct bolt in!! :-O Been tinkering on my wagon for years- had it since 2002. Just got the 2000 Sunbird a few weeks ago from a buddy at work. Not a rocket scientist here, just an old country boy tinkering and learning as I go.

Only if it was an auto....


The wife can't/refuses to drive a stick, and because of my health-she has to be able to drive it....



Looks good though. Can't wait to get my hands on another 1st gen...
