84 Camaro with a 350 Pace Car Motor
Hello I'm interested in getting more info about this car I saw for sale.it says it has a pace car motor, I was wondering what is the difference between a stock 350 and a 350 pace car motor, just that the motor was in a pace car or what. Also any info on where to start restoration for a car like this. Thanks
Here's the link to the website

Re: 84 Camaro with a 350 Pace Car Motor
Yeah, sounds like total BS to me. The only '350 pace car motors' I know of in Camaros are the LT1 in the 93 Z28 Indy 500, and the 350 in the 69 SS Indy 500 Convertible. I seriously doubt it has either of those engines. Assume it's a base carbed LG4 305. If the guy's not even smart enough to advertise it as a Z28, I would definitely not think he'd know anything about what engine's actually in it either.
Looks like a $5-800 car if it runs, drives, and doesn't have serious rust. Somehow I doubt this one's going to check out though judging by the pix and the idiot seller's description/claims.

Too bad we don't have a chicken-choking smilie on this site.
Probably a base-model LG4 car. If I was the betting kind, I'd bet, the LG4 is still in it. By the time you got it off his property it will have morphed completely from some romantic-sounding BS 350 back into 305 reality.
Looks to me like yerbasic 82-84 Z28 with a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD rattle-can paint job, done by somebody too lazy to keep the GFX the different color from the body like it used to be, from about 8 years ago, falling off of it.
I don't see any rust in the usual places though, which for a car in the Salt Belt, is not a bad thing at all. If it's cheeeep enough (to ME, I'd say, less than $400 or so) it could possibly be the beginning of a successful project.
Personally, I HATE red cars, let alone PINK; that would devalue it another couple $100, since I'd be too embarrassed to even park it in my driveway where people might accidentally see it before I got it .... concealed. But that's just me.
In case you can't tell, although I think it at least isn't already a total scrap heap, I think it's AHELLUVALONG WAY from being "valuable". Its history has left MANY marks on it. Time has not been kind to it.
