1985 Z-28 Camaro "Resto-mod" to better than new condition. This car is equipped with a 5.7 liter 350ci engine built similarly to the ZZ4 Crate engine, T-5 World Class five speed transmission and 4.10 limited slip posi rear axle and 4 wheel disc brakes with only about 3500 miles since it was rebuilt.

The paint job alone was $4700.00. Two coats epoxy primer, two coats base coat, three coats clear (all PPG products), wet sanded, compounded and machine glazed and waxed with Zaino. That’s all I ever used on this paint since it was new was Zaino. From the car washes to compounds and glazes and their waxes, and that is the reason the paint shine’s and reflects the way it does. I replaced the whole nose of the car with OEM Parts. Fenders, bumper cover, hood and ground effects.

It has a lightweight racing Flywheel with a Centerforce stage II racing clutch with a 5500 PSI pressure plate. It is very easy to drive on the street but when it grips it doesn’t let go for anything. The rear end has a new Auburn Posi unit with new axles bearing’s and seals. Also it has the aluminum TA differential cover. It has 4.10 gears. ENGINE Engine is rated at 415 Horsepower and 470 Foot pounds of torque. The block is an American Made Good wrench 350 Block. The American made one’s are much stronger then the Mexican made blocks.

Each part is between brand new as in 0 miles and 5,000 miles. I am unsure how much I can get for this car. Make me an offer if your interested. I am also looking to trade it for a luxury car or a 4th gen camaro or firebird.

Few pictures... If you want more please e-mail me at licamaro85@yahoo.com

I am looking for a FAST SALE... I need this thing gone ASAP. Need cash for bills and the house.

Make any resonable offer.

very nice but you need to post a price that way ppl know where to start with offers... otherwise you might get lowballed due to you not posting a price.

I really dont know what to ask. I paid 5500 and put 11000 into it. I know im not going to get that back but i would like to get some of it back.

As long as I get what I paid for the car back I would be happy.

Video of car at idle then a few rev's to 1800RPM

You guys are telling me I can't even get 6,000 neg. for my car.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what it is worth then, Or what people "would" be willing to pay for it.

I am also looking for some import street bikes, yamaha, ducati, gsxr's stuff like that as well for trades.

Thanks,

Again PLEASE someone tell me what I could maybe get for this car?

The car has been heavily modified and is nowhere near stock condition. I would've assumed the asking price to be $3500 OBO.. when the price hovers around there let me know ASAP..

-Miles

Are you telling me that I dumped all this money into this car and all I can get for is AT BEST is 3500?!?!?! If this is true please some other people back him up....I am going to jump off a bridge if he is correct on this.

Also because it's not stock its not worth anything is what your saying... So someone would be better off buying a ******* white trash camaro for 2K thats all stock and put 15k into it then to buy mine is that what you're telling me.

$3500 I feel that is an extreme insult please again SOMEONE that has more then 9 post's chime in and tell me what you guys think here.

Thanks,

I would have to agree with IncredibleBulk. The Down side is that you can get a 84-90 camaro for around 1500-4000 (depending on the condition) and do the same thing you have done yourself and know it was done right (not saying that you didn't do it right). If you wanting to get 6000 for the car you will have to wait for the right buyer. It might not be a "fast sell". if you want a fast sell then it would have to be around the 3000-4000 area . So keep in there and hopefully you will find the right buyer.

So can one of you guys show me a car like mine for 3000. I looked and can not find one. I find one with paint peeling or a engine with 170000 miles or a blown trans all these for 3500. Then i find rs's in ok condition going for 4000 and it just doesnt make sense to me. Oh well if 3000 is all I can get for it then thats what I'll sell it for.

This is a perfect example of what i am talking about. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/ca...t-top-5-a.html (1988 T-Top 5 Speed AWESOME CAR! 5500 OBO)

There are PLENTY more on this board.

I didn't mean to insult your price or your third gen.. Just saying that the way the market for these cars goes, a customized '85 that is far from stock is not going to bring your ideal price. Selling the car locally could possibly bring a price closer to what you're asking, that would be my suggestion. Good luck w the sale!

Your car is hard to put a price on. Go take it to an appraisor and get a stated value and that will give you a ballpark figure on what to start from and work down from there.

Also, you just posted this car for sale a few days ago. This site is one of the worst sites to make a "quick sale" on. You'd be better off putting it on ebay in hopes of getting rid of it fast. I had a highly optioned '90 IROC-Z 5spd that was blue and was just a really sought after car and it still took me a couple of weeks to sell it on here.

you have a nice car. around here it is worth about 7 or 8k. I bought my 1992 z28 full stock with 98,000 miles for 4k. I have about 6 in it. good luck

Just popping in my 2 cents here, but I think that you would be best off selling something like that on eBay ot Craigslist. You won't get an audience there that has access to all the different cars on this site or one like it which drives down the price majorly. Plus a lot of people on those sites don't want to DIY and want a nice car for a reasonably decent price. So if you want to try any of these sites you will be able to put on a higher sticker price and maybe negotiate or have people bid on it to get some money back on the investment.

Craigslist.org
eBay.com
Carsoup.com
Cardomain.com

good luck with that

I think if you posted much better pictures of the ones you have posted that might help you and get you a better idea from others of what it's worth. The pics you have posted now are some of the worst pics I have ever seen.

Ok..wait..wait..You can get $6000 for your car, but it might take longer to get that price. Now trying to get $6000 on this site...well...It will be like pulling your teeth with pilers and pretending it doesn't hurt. People here look at stock with low miles and all original as the big money getters and fast sell. My buddy has sold 2 different Camaros for around that price. The first one was an 1991 Camaro RS T-5 350 he sold for $6500 and he posted locally. The 2nd one was a 1983 Camaro Z28 auto 350 he sold for $6000 in the condition your current car is in now. Now it took several months for this to happen. I think around 5 to 7 months , so it can be done . So post it up on craigslist and Ebay or autotrader and here , just get the car out there to be seen...you will get that $6000 but time will be your enemy...Good luck
P.S ...do not sell it for $3000 !!..I wouldn't

I wish I had $6000.00. That car makes me drool...........................Maybe I will win the lotto Wednesday................................

Can you get any better pictures of your car and send to t-mkuba@mail.com

PM and emails sent.

I'd like to make something happen, soon.

I think its worth a hell of a lot more than $3500. The only issue is finding the person that knows that and has the coin to buy it. Its been said but, I would ask 7-8k or so for it and be prepared to wait for the right person to come along. If you need to get rid of it quick then yes ebay.

Based on all the care and work thats been put into that i would say $3500 is giving it away. I've looked at a lot of Camaros that were a lot less car than this for $3500 (based on what you posted in the ad).

Don't sell it, all the hard work is done!

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/cl...1-l-i-n-y.html (L.I.N.Y.92CAMARO ripped me off)

alright sounds good

thats funney... i was gona post the link up too. i was just reading it but though the other thread.
to everyone just becarefull from who you buy stuff from. their are alot of crooks out their and if you dont do your reseach about em you might get gyped. Ive ,made that mistake once.....i didnt spot the warning sighs

How do you get 415 horsepower from a 350 with 083 heads a cam and a intake???? Do you actually have a dyno sheet on this engine please post it.

id like to see where this thread goes. but, i posted a thread to a different site with lots of info on the car, so let me know what u think

Yea I have dyno sheets for every pull I ever made. I'll try to get someone with a scanner to scan them and put them up here. Where are you getting that 415 is hard to make. That isnt alot of power at all for a 350. If i said 600+ H.P then i would expect people to want me to post up the dyno sheets...

judging by what i have read and this guys reputation i wouldn't pay more then 3000 for this car. the paint job is not worth 4500 bucks, the tranny is probably near death, and everything he says is questionable.. I don't believe anything this guys says. 11000 dollars in work... you painted the car, dropped in a t-5, and a 350.. if you paid 11000 to do that then you would have money to pay back all the ppl you stole from.. your a lier and a scammer.

DON"T TAKE THE CHANCE WITH THIS GUY!!!!

Please, fellow TGO members, take the time if you can to report posts like L.I.N.Y.92CAMARO's so we can get rid of them even quicker in the future.

L.I.N.Y.92CAMARO you are now on probation and possibly worse soon.
