thanks guys i wasn't sure if they did or noti don't mind haveing to buy a new trans cross member and thanks for theinfo 83gtragtop i will put it to use . if the car is as good looking in person as it is in the pics i will pick it up .see what you guys think of it http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/625153554.html .
the only known issue with the car is the brake booster is starting to go bad in it . the guy has other listings for it and he has sent more pics to my email so i have seen alot more than just the listing pics .
all comments and sugestions welcome, i was just looking at this for a dd and something for the wife to cruise in while i work on her 88 gt this summer .

You gotta get a double hump crossmember. Very cheap. I got one that was in good shape for 20 bucks. I haven't put it in yet, but it looks like it will fit perfectly.

Looks alot like mine except for the seats. CFI can be a PITA if you have problems. Looks nice though.
