Hey everybody im selling my 2000 firebird v6 to get something more fun to drive . my buddy has an 88 camaro with RS body kit. it has a VERY built 350 with all forged and balanced bottom end and dart iron eagle heads with alot of work done about 425-450 HP. it has a good turbo 350 and 4:10 RP. now get this he bought the car from the guy who built it and said it was in storage from 92 till last year so NO RUST he wants 2800 and the car needs a few things like a paintjob and a small amount of electrical work. what do you guys think ?

I'm assuming it's carbed - which begs my first question ... is it legal in your area? Federally it's not legal emissions wise, but the feds don't check. But alot of states follow fed regs, and look for emissions equip. An aftermarket carb is not emissions legal on a car that was factory TBI or TPI.

yes it is legal in my area. infact in illinois only 97 and newer have to go to emissions in my county. yes it has a holley 750 and edelbrock manifold also im not sure if this was the correct area for my question and im sorry if it wasnt

That doesn't make it legal, it just means that in your area, they don't check for emissions compliance on a vehicle like yours. That's the important thing. But no where in any of the 50 states is that legal given that Federal law doesn't allow for the removal of ANY emissions equipment from vehicles made after 1973.

well it being an 88 would make it emissions test exempt in illinois and if i know correctly the only thing they could get me for is altered exhaust since they cannot make me leagally open my hood without a warrant so all i would need is legal mufflers and a cat or cat shell right. and truth be told the cops by me have alot better things to do then check my car out. but back to my original question is it a good deal in your eyes ?

It sounds like a good deal all things considered. But pics would help a lot in determining the car's ultimate value.

well its to say the least purple, primer purple. with black interior. its also one of few third gens with working original power hatch lol

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, I'd suggest checking the price of similar vehicles in your area to get a better idea.

Also, could a mod just make a sticky or something about how illegal it is to change your induction or tamper with emissions equipment, etc, etc, so every thread where someone mentions it doesn't have six people jump in just to say it's against the law?
