Just saved 1989 Camaro RS
Well 2 weeks ago i ran across a 1989 camaro rs. I just sold my buick and this popped up on craigslist. i bought the car from some guy who didnt speak a word of english boy that was an interesting test drive lol. anyways i figured id take some pictures and share.

I got the car for $900 cash running and driving although not that good. The car was "Rigged" up to run so someone would buy it. heres what ive found so far.... Map sensor vac lines removed, siliconed 3 way valve in back of TB, Radio harness hacked to crap someone was to cheap to buy a install kit. no air filter in housing.... paper wedged in driver mirror to hold it up lol. after going through the past week and correcting those problems the car runs great and sounds nice.

305TBI/Auto Black interior
Still need to get new hood pass front fender rear bumper cover.

Also i put a set of Iroc rims on and installed new Eibach Sportlines with all new bushings up front still have to take it in to be aligned.

Here are some pics
