Here you go: Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/RBEtWWZe4cb

At least it's not on those gettho rims making cost twice as much! You can still do donuts with the LT-1, and still leaves you enough money on your pocket to buy extra tires.

As far as mpg, I thought these cars were actually pretty good on that. Probably better than the trucks?

Well, if it is a '93 as they say, and the interior design seems to support that claim, it would have been a basic L05 TBI 350 from the factory. Doesn't mean they didn't swap in an LT-1. Just wouldn't be factory. Still worth low to mid 20's for mpg.

Good catch. Looks like the LT1 started in 94? I don't really know much about these cars, but the towing ratings with the factory towing option are impressive. 7,000 lbs for the station wagon with the LT1!? Self-leveling air ride, heavy duty engine and transmission coolers, 2.93 LSD, e fan setup? Holy smokes batman! That's more than a modern macho-looking Tacoma!

Recently on another thread there was discussion that some of these could of had the 14BSF 9.5 rear end. Dunno.

The LT1 has a weird ignition IIRC. @EthanBurdette can explain in more detail, since his Roadmaster Estate Wagon has one in it. They have some odd things but are basically good 350s.

My GMT800 ECSB 4,8 got 18.75 MPG every tank (16.75 with a cap on!) with 453000 miles on the original engine and exhaust. I want a 4.8 with a turbo (from a 6.5TD) for both of my trucks. Power when you need it and fuel economy when you don't!

Yeah. Who here would have ever considered 2.93 a towing ratio?? :jawdrop::gr_grin:
