I am looking for a new car guys, I sold the Firebird last weekend and now I want to get back into a manual trans car. I have had 3 days being snowbound to search the net and nothing is jumping out at me. Chris (bowtie) looked at a sweet car for me in Atlanta but we cant come to an agreement on a price. I trust everybody on here enough that if someone recommended a car I wouldnt question or be as leary. So, the wife and I are looking for a 70-73 Camaro or a 70-77 TransAm/Firebird, manual trans, does not need to be a numbers matching car. No rollcages or ex-drag cars. It needs to have nice paint and a clean undercarriage, I dont mind doing a little trim work or final touches on anything, just dont want to deal with body or paintwork. I am open minded to other GM 4-speed cars in the 1965-1972 era. I am looking to spend $15-20K delivered to my door. If anybody hooks me up with a good deal, I will gladly pay a birddog fee. So if anybody has a car or knows of one, let me know.
Thanks guys!

I will notify my wife about this and have her looking for around in TN for something. For some reason why she can find any car for cheap.

I have a 1970 Nova SS that I did a ground up restoration on. I have it at www.gatewayclassiccars.com. It's Black Cherry in color with black interior. If you go to the web site just look under chevy for sale and scroll down to 1970 Nova and you will be able see pics of the car. I would sell the car alot cheaper than the price they are asking. It's a very nice California car that I started out with. If it doesn't sell by March or April I'm going to go down and bring it back to my house to install a 4 speed and buckets. Probably drive it around this summer.
Check it out and make me an offer.
