Just found this randomly.

Real original. I wish mine had a "rebulit" 350.

Some super clean, but super expensive 80s GM stuff for your viewing pleasure:

It still blows my mind that Montes are commanding more money than the IROCs. These are both pristine examples of 80s greatness (at least in exterior style) though.

Or for just a bit more, you could have this: http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/5310804993.html

The front and front 3/4 view on the 3rd gen is good. The rear or rear 3/4 view is not, mainly because of the totally 80s bumper and totally 80s taillights.

That's half the reason those cars are awesome.

This also came up when I searched the term "project" on craigslist.

That actually doesn't look too bad for $1500. Not sure how long the spoiler has been off for. Is the rain just going directly into the trunk? That is a common rust area.

The pictures don't show the other common rust arear very well but I have to admit, this could have potential.

So it seems that V1s have hit bottom and are coming back up slightly. Unless this is a weird time of year to look. I thought I saw some dipping under the $10k range a year ago or so and now ~$11k-ish is about the bottom end. Now a LS6 + T56 takeout is worth $5k or more depending on mileage. And research is required to understand the full extent of any chassis differences between the base car and V.
