Re: my $400 camaro!!!
looking at those pics, not to bad for $400. Will you be able to secure a title? I would start by checking fuses and tracing wires. Could be something as simple as a loose or broken wire. Do you have a service manual with a wiring diagram in it?

Re: my $400 camaro!!!
what a steal.
You should have asked him when the ignition problems started. Maybe he didn't properly install the ratchet shifter and it's tripping the neutral safety switch?

Re: my $400 camaro!!!
Thats awesome.
My 88 cost me $600. Had a stock low mileage 97 5.7 vortec motor. Straight body but faded paint, interior 6 of 10, crappy wiring job, and a blown 700r4. But the car came with a good junkyard transmission. So I got a pretty dang good deal too.

Re: my $400 camaro!!!
Not a bad find. Body looks better than mine, I got mine running (poorly) with severe rear quarter damage on both sides for 300 bucks. Fix it up slowly, make it a project.

Re: my $400 camaro!!!
Ill post up pictures of mine
it could likely sell for ~$1000... maybe maybe not in Florida but in in FL
waiting on the Title from the Navy guy that switched bases. i hope i get it too.
Trust me, its sweet. The hood has those race pin-lock things, and the guy put "Edelbrock" on door handles, and the floor mats say Mercedes Benz...............

Re: my $400 camaro!!!
$400.00 bucks???? Tell me you're kidding. Great deal man. Congradulations on that. I'm buying a White 87 Iroc Z from a member here for $800.00. The car looks great, starts right up, it needs the drivers side floor repaired but otherwise it's in great shape.
Once again man good deal. Let's see some pics of your build. Best wishes with it. *S*
