:rockon: :rockon: That is a nice car, but it did not sell the first time he listed it for $15,000, not one bid, so I dought that he gets any bids this time.

Looks real nice, but $15K is nuts. He says he spent over $65,000 on it? I don't see it.

anyone else notice the door popers, but theres still door handles.
theres no rubber around the windsheild. the car is supposed to have blue pearl and i know its a digi pic, but in at least one of the pics u should see the pearl, i dont. i was looking at the door and it looks to me like theres no door panel. if its a 91 why is there a carpet on the dash, my dash is from an 85 and i have no cracks, i live in canada one of the harshest envirovents for dashes and anything plastic.

i like the turn signals, looks good. headlights, where do they come out of? and do they take a screw in bulb? i want those.

he mentioed 24 lb injectors, were they foactory, wont help his supercharged 383 if u ask me, should have at least 30 lb injectors for the hoursepower that motor is making.

i must be really bored, its friday and im on the computer examining a camaro on ebay, time to go to the bar.

My 91 had carpet on the dash. Dosnt always mean the dash is cracked (tho it is a good indication). I think that car is alright but $15k is way too much. I dont see where that $65k went either.

Can a professionally built 383 with a Super Charger run on 24lb injectors? I would think that it couldn't!?!? Must be at low boost. Plus there is no proof of how "fast" it really is. Plus the roll bar is not even legal, is it? If the sides are hinged! I thought that was illegal so if it is, you would not even be able to run it at the track for yourself. If he spent 65k on that, i would want to see some proof, like reciepts! If he wants that much for it, he needs to back it up. No way is he getting that from any sensible person. I have seen tons of those cars around, camaro, firebird, mustang, and they don't ask that much.

65 grand...... must of paid someone to do all his work and even then i cant see 65 grand....maybe 30 or 35 if he is lucky, also i dont think that tuned port is going to help that 383 with a supercharger at about 4500 rpms i think it would be done.....to think what i could do with 65 grand to put into my 86 z28... i guarantee you would be able to see 65 grand in it:lala:

For $65 grand invested, you'd think it would have at LEAST a custom fabricated polished and anodized aluminum air intake hose for the supercharger instead of the Home Depot special.

if it runs good, the engine truly is documented as a 383 and the body is good as well as there is more don like suspension and the like 15,000 is reasonable.

you have to understand what goes into these mods; although for 65,000 that is supposedly into it he's been seriously ripped off.

the engine bay is anything but show worthy, the interior isn't in that great of shape and the paint looks nothing more than basic stock white.

looks to me like he threw a cage, seats, rims, and a blower and is trying to get more money out of it. it's an alright car; but i would definately pass it up too.

i wonder what rims those are......?

i agree with Kandied91z.

and if anything, those rims don't looks like they came from a camaro. right? i like the system he has in the back, but i think i would have spent more time and money cleaning and detailing my engine first...but that's just me .

looks good though.

they look to me like polished firehawk wheels.......

i love the firehawk wheels; but stock ones just don't look as nice as those that have been polished or chrome plated. but it's just my opinion. i'd have my whole car chrome plated if i could so i guess it doesn't say much.

Find a person who doesn't know how do do squat and having someone who does give a 'fair' price. You're correct...

$20 for a 'code retieval tool' at Autozone someone would pay because they aren't aware a paperclip does the same thing.... P.T. Barnum.......

Headlights are probably off a 86-88 Monte Carlo LS.. I'm gathering some money up right now to do that headlight conversion :hail: :hail: Heh, you can see the blue pearl in the paint just about as good as mine... hardly at all LOL

why would you want to do that conversion for anything other than looks?

yeah, pearl really won't show up all that much as it's mainly used to accent. you need heavy metallics to sparkle in pictures..

now in person those setups aren't necessarily the same.

65k is nuts. and it isn't worth 15k in my book, either. but i bet someone gets suckered into buying it.

although, i do like the smoothed in turn signals in the nose.

yeah, i also notice the aftermarket tops.
