O-kay, this is just a feeler message. If things work out over the next few months in my new job, I will be looking to buy another 3rd gen Camaro. I miss my old one I had. So, if anyone is planning towards the end of summer to sell thier 3rd gen. I would be willing to listen to what may be offered. But this is what I looking for in my next 3rd gen:
1. T-Tops a must
2. 82-89 in years. (but really looking for 86-89, reason in next one)
3. 3rd brake light in spoiler. ( I know 90 was the last year for the brake light in spoiler, But with the switch from mech. to elec. speedo. 89 is the last year I want.)
That should cover it. It doesn't matter if it's a roller or working car. Would prefer 5 speed, but doesn't matter. Would prefer not to spend over 1k for a roller, or 2k for a working Camaro. With the project I have in mind. Engine swap, tranny swap, ect. It doesn't matter what condition the motor/tranny is in.
I should point out. I would like to have minimum body damage/rust. But then again...I may change my mind and go for a Camaro that is in almost top perfromance.
I know this is too early to post this. But I wanted to throw this out there to get in some poster's mind, that I will be out there (on here) looking. I trust the people on this board. Not the Ebay sellers.
Thank-you for your time.

3/29/2009: I thought I would revise what I am meaing with my idea on a project car, and my meaning on top performance.
What I have in mind on my project is getting my LT1 engine stroked out to a 383 and a new beefed up tranny. Then sliding it into the 3rd gen. And what I ment on top performance, was not almost drag strip ready, I was meaning: Stock Camaro running near A-1.

Thank-you for the post. If I was building something for the strip, then it would be great. But I'm not really wanting something in that neighborhood, with an cage in it. I am not planing to stray too far from stock on the 3rd gen. And really not looking into drag racing with it either. But again, Thank-you for the post.
OK, Great news.....I finally got things in motion....after a long search....I finally got another job. So that means i'll be in the market very soon. And I have now changed what i'm looking for, or updated it really.
Still wanting one starting in 82....but now only going to 88...looking for pre-VATS now. It now does not need to be t-top...but wouldn't mind if it was.
An still...doesn't matter if it's running or not...or even a roller...but still would like to not have any "through" rust spots.
Hope this update widens the market for ones that my be selling.
