I ended up selling my Camaro to my engine builder. He wants to buy the car and build a drag car out of it or part it out (depends on if he races next season) He is giving me a little over $1000 and he is building another 425-450 HP engine which I am selling to my friend, Black85transam.

Yeah, I will miss her, but as soon as she's gone, my 72 is getting bodywork done and painted. That leaves me some money there for getting the Monster engine built (455)

 

$1000!!!!!!! thats it!!!!!!! man, he is getting a steal man, did you post it on the classifieds or on ebay?

 

Its my understanding that he is getting more than $1000 for the car...

$1000 + Sale of the motor = More than $1000 ?

 

Well that's no fun........

 

i would have driven out there and bought it for $1000 =/

 

Well then, don't ever come back to this site, unless you get another 3rd gen.

 

wait, for $1000 are you selling him the body? I thought you had posted earlier that you were selling the body and the engine seperately right? or am i mistaken

 

Originally, I was selling the engine to Black85transam, but the guy who helped me build the engine and pretty much the car wants to buy the whole car from me. THen he is building a new engine for me, which will be sold to black85transam. So I am pretty much getting about $3000 for the car. Not bad, losing about $500-1000, but I doubt the car is worth much more.

 

Yeah I did the same thing, sold my camaro and started on my 71 Monte Carlo. Absolutely no regrets here. Good luck with the Pontiac.

 

IMO you guys are pretty crazy to sell nice Third Gens to work on those cars. I think I'd just keep both, 1 as the main car and 1 as a project.

 

That seems like a steal to me. Maybe F-bodies are overpriced here. Yeah I think they are

 

I don't ever plan on selling my current car since it is my first car and worth about $800. I would have just kept the IROC until the 72 was finished, unless you had a third car.

 

I don't think they are crazy. They are selling them so they can work on their dream cars. Good luck man!

 

Man it's sad to see it go :**( But at least you'll get to work on your baby some more. As long as your happy, that's all that matters. Good luck bro, hit me up on AIM sometime. Later.

 

Unless you are extremly attatched to your thirdgen, you eventually have to let it go for some reason or another.

 

Thanks guys, I will still hang around on here and still help people out or put my 2 cents in.

RamAirZ-Yeah, I'll find you on AOL, just been busy with school lately.

"I don't ever plan on selling my current car since it is my first car and worth about $800. I would have just kept the IROC until the 72 was finished, unless you had a third car."

My first car was the 72. Coolest car at school! The third car is the 68 GTO.
