Hi there!
-
Hey there, just wanted to say hi, I plan on soon to be purchasing a Eclipse GS-T Spyder (If I can find a purple or white one with a camel top) or consider a hard top within the next month or so. Currently I drive a 2000 GMC Sierra Newstyle 2500 4x4 with the 6.0L in black. With gas prices and life changing events I want to get something better on the fuel consumption and back into the car hobby again. I also have a 1989 Cutlass Supreme Phantom, 1 of 200 ever made that I had planned on restoring, but I think that dream is gonna go down the drain (long story), but I do plan on yanking it out of storage in the next week or so and may drive it around a bit. Some of my past hobby cars were a 1995 Monte Carlo Z34 which can be seen here:
A 1998 Grand Prix GTP:
The Cutlass Phantom(GFX is packed away):
And my current ride:
Anyhow, I fell in love with a friend's Spyder, and now I need one
So I am keeping my eye open and excited to learn something new!-Skip

Welcome. Buy jims spyder (link in one of the previous posts), the price couldn't be better for what is done with his car.

Well Monty I thought about another GTP, but I want something different and driving around my bud's Spyder was fun! The Phantom was a model only 200 ever made, originally only on he East Coast. They came in only white or black, has specific ground effects which I do have, I need to have them professionally restored, has special decaling, special spoiler, FE3 sport suspesnsion and badging, as well as a brass plaque with a small Oldsmobile emblem on it signifying 1 of 200. Has the 3.1, however I was thinking of swapping in a 3.1 IC Turbo, even though they have exhuast manifold issues, it would still be sweet and pretty much a direct drop in. Auto only, has complete digital dash. From history searching I am the only one west of the Mississippi that has one, even though I heard rumors there was a black one rolling around Fargo a few years ago, that has not been confirmed.
That's a bit about the Phantom. I wsa looking at Jim's Eclipse, a buddy showed it to me, I'd love to check it out, however I don't want to get my self something lined up until 2 things are completed, 1. I get my title back from the state on my truck, no one wants to buy a truck w/o a title...... 2. Wait for my divorce to go through from my cheatin' spouse, which should be in the next couple weeks, I don't want to make any deals until that over for obvious reasons. I'd also consider trading my truck........
So that's where I sit now,
