1LE a total loss! :(

Well guys, the verdict is in-she's a total loss!
Body damage alone was over $3500! Plus the frame damage there definitely is a point where -even though it's a 23K mile 1LE, it just isn't worth repairing. So I will be parting it out starting next weekend. Here's some general parts:

Full 1LE brake set-up
Rear End-7.5 w/ Auburn posi, Richmond 3.73's (disc to disc-gears & all new bearings under 3K miles)
Tremec TKO w/ hardware, steel driveshaft balanced to special Tremec yoke, Hurst shifter, bellhousing & Centerforce dual friction Clutch-6K miles
Autometer Phantom Monster Tach, AFR & Fuel Pressure gauges
Koni adjustable rear shocks
SLP 1-3/4 A.I.R. headers
Accel/Lingenfelter 58mm TB
Edelbrock Runners & Intake
24# LT1 injectors
Weld 16 x 8 XP Draglites (Only 1K miles if that!)
Weld 15 x 3.5 Draglites w/ Brand new Kelly 165/15's
Competition Engineering bolt in Frame connectors (will have to check for straightness first though)
Perfect Dash Pad
Full Red interior
Z28 Hood Blisters
Z28 Spoiler
Z28 side ground effex
Brand new OE nose
used Z28 rear bumper cover (not from this car)
any other misc little parts....
WP Sportsman II heads
MSD 6AL
Crane Hi-6 Coil

Probably some other stuff I can't think of-I will be slowly tearing her apart over the next month & taking reasonable offers on all parts-I WILL NOT sell the car outright-I would lose entirely too much $$$$ that way. Any questions about any parts I may have forgotten or about parts mentioned above feel free to ask. Thanks gang & please take a moment of silence for our fallen 1LE.

ED, i'm sorry to hear about your loss, that really sucks.

I'd like to be first in line to buy your entire tranny setup, including clutch and driveshaft.

Just let me know a price. No big hurry on taking them out though, the car won't be ready for a good month or so anyhow...

Sorry man

Eric

I am sorry to hear of your loss. It really sucks when your car gets messed up that bad. I've been there. Hope you find something cool to replace it. I would like the MSD 6AL for sure. I'll offer you $125. I would also be interested in the Accel/Lingenfelter 58mm TB , Edelbrock Runners & Intake, 24# LT1 injectors assuming they will work with my stock L98 TPI in my 92 B4C. I have to check and make sure. I honestly dont know what they are worth so you'll need to tell me what you want. My Email is CrazyHayan@Yahoo.Com Thanks!!

Those ILE brake systems were awesome, especially considering that you had to delete your AC to have them. Total loss, bummer.

It should. Why would you need the AC pulley if there is no AC?

Man, that makes me want to cry. There were only 175 1LE Z28 Camaro's built in 1991. I'm from Indiana and I go to college. A guy I know whos goes to school with me has one of the 1991 Z28 1LE's and he paid $10,000 for it. (30,000 original miles) I know it would cost a ton to fix yours.....but if I had a 1LE......and knew that there were worth that much....I would go ahead and have it fixed....but....I hope everything turns out alright.

he's still parting it out, cept he's not sure if he wants to keep the motor or not, though.

i asked about his brakes and I think a $250 offer was made to him, too much for me.

Sorry guys! Replied to PM's but didn't go through!

Hey guys, I apologize-I responded to all the PM's I received (over 20) but for some reason they didn't go through. I was on my roomies computer & it kept logging me out which is why I think. I'm on mine now so we should be good. I'll try to respond again. Just wanted to let you guys know I wasn't blowing anyone off! Thanks!
