Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
I just went and checked out this car tonight:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/379335669.html
This guy has two binders full of stuff on the car including the original build sheet and dealer order sheet. He also has a real shop manual to go with and it drives pretty damn nice as well. The car has added AC and the only negative on the car is the miles and the there is one hole by the passenger side key hole were someone used a screw driver to break into it, but looks like an easy fix. What do you guys think of the car, all opinions welcome, and he said he would give it to me for 4k.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
whats with you and miles. miles mean nothing
if it is a true 1LE then Id say thats a hell of a deal. say's upgraded brakes, what kind of brakes does it have?

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
He's just referring to the upgraded brakes that come with the 1LE package, I looked at those too and they are the bigger aluminum calipers and bigger rotors, and yes it is a real 1LE.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
That car is too "Camaro-ish" for you, aren't you more into wingless 'birds?
And an automatic 1LE, with A/C and a radio? SHENANIGANS~@~!~!

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
I like it from what I can see, good year and options.
Sounds like the meticulous type of owner you'd want.
Don't really know what the value is of the 1LE's, let alone most Camaros.
I'm assuming 4K is a pretty good price for it, considering the miles, which does play a factor in price IMO.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
The guy added AC to the car (its switch controlled) and it was originally a no radio optioned car, the guy added a stock radio to it a while back. Thanks for the actual opinion Del, anyone else want to add more than a “snork”?

I don’t know where the beating the dead horse image is but that’s my reply to Vin’s constant posting on the penguin.

Secretly, I'm jealous.
Buy it already so I can have an excuse to meet you and show that I'm not just your run-of-mill smarta55.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
Just because I like AC on my 1LE, doesn’t make it fake (I have all the stuff to convert it back). Whats wrong Vin, dont like people asking you to shut up when you keep repeating the same **** with nothing of substance to post.
I will post up soon enough with a pic.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
Most of my posts were actually talking about your new Camaro as well, don't blame me if you're too illiterate to figure that out.
I would definitely convert it back so you could be just another 17yr old who wraps a rare car around a telephone pole.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
It was a black GTA w/o a wing so someone thought it would be funny to call it a penguin.
I had enough class to say you kept ‘beating a dead horse’, but apparently you couldn’t see I was trying to ask you to shut up.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
Keep it decent ladies.
So it's a true 1LE via the RPO codes, right?
Congrats on the buy, glad we don't have to hear about possible future purchases anymore.
If only we could get 0utcast to stick to one now.
What're your plans for it Cam? Or should I ask how much NOS?

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
To clarify, there was no crying of any sort and I have only posted one car I was considering to buy.
The car is a verified 1LE with a build sheet, and EPA window paper.
I don’t want to run spray through it and don’t want to do more than CAI and a cat-back for performance.
The car came with a few extra things that I will be selling shortly.
Here are pics after thoroughly cleaning it.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
I got a ton of extra stuff with the car: whole entire red interior(everything for the interior except seat covers), Spohn subframe connectors, all parts need to convert to no AC, the original rims with tires, new head cover gaskets, new intake gaskets, a rear hatch panel were the wing attaches with holes welded shut (in I want to go wingless), rs spoiler, TPIS afpr, actual chevy shop manual, and a NIB edelbrock cat-back.
Personally I think the rims look good on the car, but I will be selling them.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
What kind of rims are those? They look kinda like AR torq-D's.
I don't think they look bad, but stockers are good too I'm sure.
As far as the wing, it's a bummer you're removing it, that's the only style I like on the Camaros.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
The wheels are from Vintage Wheel Works, there are called V45’s. I will be posting a for sale thread soon.
I meant to say I had a welded rear deck “in case” I wanted wingless, but for now It will have the high rise.
And I will probably get them welded in but would want to do it my self so I could take my time.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
except for CAI and cat- back it should stay stock, I will probably get SFC, wonderbar, and STB but I'm not for sure yet.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
They wont be cheap, they cost $300 a rim, and the tires have could tread on them. They aren't perfect by any means, I am cuurently trying to find what they have been sold for used but haven't found anything. All I found was a couple threads talking about the rims in a magazine a while back.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
might as well add this car to the crushed 1le list
if you take off the rear hatch of a matching #'s 1le for a wingless than that is the most hacked thing you could ever do to a thirdgen and you should be slapped sideways for that.
well anyway congrads on the car please dont hack the car up more put it back to orignal and keep it that way AND PLEASE BUY A DAILY DRIVER
id be glad to help you return it to orignal just buy the pizza

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
F*cking what the F*uck, I said for now its staying with the wing, and thats mostly because its a 1LE. And thats why mod wise I won't be doing a whole lot to it, I am trying to sell the Two Brand New nitrous parts I have that way there is no reason for me to use spray. This will be my daily driver.

Re: Thoughts/Opinions on this car FS
I get defensive fast when someone says I should be smacked sideways for doing something that I clearly stated I was not planning to do, that’s why I am selling the wingless piece, dont plan to use it.
