Hello all!
Brand new to this forum.
Got interested a couple of weeks ago when I went to the local cars and coffee gathering every Saturday morning in Great Falls, Virginia and saw a beautiful Buick Skyhawk parked near the center of the action. Not only was it clean from top to bottom but someone had put a lot of love and wrench time in that car.
Wow, what a treat to see! Moreover, I wasn't the only noticing it. Even with all the Corvettes, Ferraris, and Porsches surrounding it, the Skyhawk was still getting noticed.
So I'm hooked. Started looking online and am interested in the Starfires. Got two candidates so far: one in Montana--needs a ton of work but has a 5speed tranny AND one in Maine that seems in pretty good shape with an auto...both have the 231.
For anyone who owns, has owned, or ever driven a Starfire, I wanted to ask what your take is on its handling, roominess (I'm 6'1" so can I get in and out without scraping my head?), and whether it would be better to try to boost performance of the V6 (to around 250-300hp) or just get a 350 (seen crate motors with 325 and 365hp ratings).
All advice/comments/flames welcome!
Cheers,
