These cost about $12,000 in the mid 80's when they were new.
If you have one now in reasonably good shape, it's worth at least that.

When I was six years old my dad had an Iseta for commuting the four mile trip to work. Built by BMW, it had a neck wiping 13.5 HP.
I worked on plenty of those back in the day and didn't recall the rims being different diameters or the tires being a different size.... what I do remember was the offset (read: backspacing) of the rims were different and they were marked "front" and "rear" so they couldn't be rotated.
Most guys did what you said, burned the tires up and bought new ones. For the occasional customer that did want the tires rotated, we would have to dismount all four tires and remount them in the rotated position.
keep rockinI've "raced" this in a game called Highway Rally. Handles very well.
I don't think there was any year of the Firebird or Camaro that I didn't like. And c'mon you could get t-tops in 2002!

My old boss had an 01 trans-am that he flung into a fire hydrant. Last time I was at his place he had the front clip of a donor car sitting next to his wrecked and dismantled car
My 1998 Firebird looks just like this.
Nice! I had an absolute obsession when I was little. I'd unintentionally scare my mom in the car when I'd spot a camaro or firebird. I felt the need to point at it and shout out what it was.
In light of the above, I'd certainly be remiss if I didn't put forth this aviation-inspired automobile.

If I could live without air conditioning, I still love to have my old 1968 912 Porsche. Light weight (around 2200 pounds) and moderately powered, it was great fun and economical to drive (30+ MPG).
