So as most of you know I sold "Spankem" :(" , well turns out im back in the game...I ran across a LOW mileage 79 on a job I was doing and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse....as if that wasn't cool enough...NOW it appears I will be acquiring another 93 LTWon, again a pretty sweet deal...so I guess the quest for ALL gens will be well underway...lol ...more pics soon....SOLD car ...been sitting for8 years...let the fun begin..

New one looks to be in pretty decent shape save for the front bumper cover. How much it set you back?

I'm confused. What's going on with the '79?? The yellow one.

it is primered yellow..the car (look at the rims) was actually red and they primered it yellow (because they had the primer) to protect it....

ok, so you're going to be working on a '79 & a '93.
If that's the case, you & I have something in common.

Looks like a nice couple projects you have there. I would love to have clean late 2nd gen to do a healthy LS street car. Most of them around here are rotted out.
