That doesn't look like 4500 buck worth of 2nd gen. I wouldn't trade.

Haha okay any other opinions? Thought I'd a carbureted 383 sounds good. Always had FI'ed.

Cash with the '78, but I honestly think you would regret it sooner than later.

Does he have supporting documentation for the 383? Also, there's nothing wrong with a carb and if you feel it time to make a change, do it.

He has to get back with his friend he bought it from to find out details on engine.

Here are some pictures he sent me. He said the one where it shows rust should be able to be sanded out....what do you all think?

That rust looks like bubble cancer to me, not something that is going to sand out.
Unless you are cashing out some, I don't think this deal is anywhere near in your favor. Your ride is 20 years old, just imagine the additional use/wear/tear on a 36 year old vehicle...
If it was a 68-72 Nova I would say "YES!!!" :D

Not bad, its better than the 3 CL pics lead to believe. Ask to see some pics from underneath.

Just trying to figure this deal out. Your ad says "Hate to get rid of and said I wouldn't, but i need the money towards something else." Are you just tired of your 4th gen? A '78 carbed 383 definitely isn't moving you into a more reliable vehicle.

If it had an lt1 in it, or a 70 nose Conversion I'd be all for it, but a disco nose and a carbed supposed 383? Nah, I'd pass. Your lt1 prolly makes more power than it

Id have to agree with the majority here.......ive had my fair share of 2nd gens and while they are fun you will not get the same excitement out of it. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks I decided to keep my lt1. Speaking of seats I'm getting some grey firebird seats for $75 tomorrow. Whole set + belts and buckles [emoji106]

Well why dont you keep what you have then... none of what you posted as a trade is more reliable, or powerful that what you have.

Yep....guy at work didn't want it. Needed rear end fixed and had a bad misfire. Probably head gaskets. If I knew I could've used my government travel card I would've shipped it, but instead I sold it for same price.

I would be tempted to grab the Vette. C3's are on the upswing again, and that one looks clean. But, I also haven a soft spot for Vettes.

If it was a 69.. 70... sure. But those are a dime a dozen.
