Re: 1989 Camaro- A Good deal?

I've driven my Camaro in the snow for 5 years. Its doable BUT NOT FUN. Buy if you want to get good at driving in the snow.

Re: Car runs no ecm

Re: 700r4 swap to turbo 350

Including the price of the transmission from a salvage yard. Looking at around $400 is what we got in the swap. The B&M kit is $100 alone.
