I wouldn't pay $15k for that. Hell, I could get a TTA with low miles for that price.

You know, just cause someone enters there car in a show doesn't mean jack. It's winning it that matters. Anyone can enter, usually there are several categories, heck I could enter mine into the one coming up at Carlisle.

Yeah, I saw that this morning. The best thing about that car is the ramjet 350, but even it looks ragged out. The car might would be worth 6, although I wouldn't give that for it. What's up with the wood look on the gague panel?

Not to be a post *****, but he said his car was the best he's ever seen. Did you see that car on here with like 2,700 miles on it? It's a red iroc, but I don't remember who's it was. There were over a hundred replies to his post. It puts that car to shame. There are several other cars on here that I like much better than that 15,000$ showcar, ramjet or not. Just my .02$ Later

That car is worth no where near 15K! Maybe 5000. The hideous steering wheel cover?!?! Thats one of the tackiest thirdgens I have ever seen. And those wheels cant cost over 80 bucks each, they are extremely cheap looking. The only decent part about the entire car is the engine.

Wow for $15,000 I was expecting to see a mint, 100% original, 120 miles on the odometer, still smells new kinda camaro. Instead I find a car thats been completely molested. Am I just seeing things or is that car jacked up in the back? LMAO, is it 1973 again or something? They would have to pay me $15,000 to drive that!

That's right mark, it was raptory660's car. That thing is AWESOME. If any of you guys haven't seen it you need to look for it because it is the cleanest camaro I've seen.

Probably a fun car to own and drive, and it has a lot of potential. It's no where near show quality as claimed in the description!

Seat covers, scratches in the interior, the paint looks oxidized (sp)......and the seat covers are only on the front seats.... The engine compartment is NOT detailed and the holes in the hood are a good idea if you were going to force air into a carb, but not in this application.

http://bigfella.webpipe.net/nate/insiderightbig.jpg

and you can see the carpet is stained! Not to mention the badging on the dash is missing....looks unintentional also b/c the holes are still there.


I can see how he did put a lot of work into that car, but that doesn't mean it is worth 15K! I'd take 15K for my car too--and my hood stays open without a piece of pipe!!!

That thing is a POS!! !15k my a$$ look it how bad the engine compartment is and look it how dirty the interior is. $3,000 sounds more like it.

Holy crap I didn't even notice how stained up the floors and even the inside of the doors are. If he can sell that car for $15k I could sell mine for $30k

If that guy added up all his receipts and tacked on an extra 20% for labor, he still wouldn't be anywhere near $15,000. I think this is what is known as wishful thinking.
