I want this camaro? Anybody wanna loan me $5000??!!

It's on ebay, couldn't get the pics to post on here, check out everything that's been done to the camaro and look at the pics at the bottom!! I creamed my pants when I saw this car.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6161

 

that camaro has been on ebay a few times, the guy is asking too much, he cant seem to sell it.

 

looks pretty good, but i wouldnt buy it

 

i dont get it, 8500 buy now? looks like its had mad work done to it, how can it go for so cheap? somethings up, and btw

its not better then mine! :lala:

 

why wouldn't yall buy it. engine and tranny with <100miles, nice paint job, everything sharp and clean, engine and engine bay lookin good, i had him send me interior pics and the inside's as clean as the outside. i think the body, plus the engine and tranny he has in it, is worth a good $5000 there, plus it's all in great condition and he has expensive suspension airbags, shaved handles, nice wheels and tires........do yall know something i dont about it? i think it's a decent price for the condition the car's in...

 

1991 Z-28....yeah yours is one of the best i've seen, i've been plannin on painting mine orange though so even w/o the condition the cars in, i'm sold on it already

also....i've changed my plans for my camaro alot....at first i was gonna install a crate engine, but it's too expensive and i'd have to replace the tranny....then i was gonna get a 99 SS LS1 engine w/ tranny but too much custom work has to be done.....so now i'm going to (ouch!) sell my camaro and use the money i make during the summer to purchase one that's already tricked out pretty good w/ engine mods, paint, etc, since i can get that for much cheaper than doing it to my own car. so just out of curiosity, what would a car like yours cost? like if you sold your car for some reason, what would be your askin price? just wondering so i can see what ballpark of cars i'll be lookin in...

 

Actually he is a member here on 3rdgen. I have seen many pics of his car, and it is very sweet! $8500 isn't to much or to little. He has it priced right to sell. Hey if I needed a new toy and had $8500 US dollars to spend on said toy, I would pick that thing up right away. Dand I can't remember his name on here...anyone else remember??

 

yeah, somebody please remember his name! this is almost exactly how i've wanted my camaro to look, so i wanna talk to him about it. i think $8500 is a great price too, (well i wouldn't mind if it was $3500, then i could actually get it!) yall tell me what you think about this car. it's my fav. 3rd gen i've ever seen, but that's my opinion, but yall tell me what you think bout how it looks and how it's priced!

 

I think it looks great and the price seems right. You can email him through Ebay. Just click on his username on ebay.

 

yup i did that already to get some interior pics....his mom is the one that answers to that email addy though

 

in my opinion it would be complete with a 91-92 Z28 high rise spoiler and soem black outs.

 

the 91-92 Z-28 high rise spoiler....that's the same spoiler that comes stock on all 91's, right? if it is, i dont particularly care for those. and i agree, blackouts would make it better....i have one question...does anybody know if the blackouts on 3rd gen's make your beams not as bright? i mean most car's blackouts are right up against the light's, but with our cars it's like 5in. away from the light...aren't blackout's illegal at night? just curious...

 

I believe thats SSaudio's car from this site

 

ssaudio has chrome c5 rims on his i believe

 

yup your right my mistake

 

I take it that you do not see many Camaros?

 

i know for a fact it isnt lol he lives about ten minuites from me lol i see his car all the time.

 

I don't know about that car. When it comes to more "crazy" color combinations and a not-stock look, I think the MYZ was one the of the better ones. With PSed TT2's especially.

 

yes blackouts would still make the lights dimmer despite the fact that they're a few inches away from the actual light and yup they're still illegal

 

It's not the best Camaro I have seen, but it definately gets in my top 20 of favorites.


That engine bay is almost as colorful as mine.

 

I don't understand why some people here object to paying a bit more for a Camaro with major mods done to it. It is almost always still cheaper than starting from scratch and paying for it all piece by piece.

 

That car is beautiful...very clean. But...I think it is way too low for my tastes. Pullin in and out of driveways would ruin the paint on that car in no time. If it wasn't lowered as much, then I would like it a lot more. But I wouldnt spend that much on the car...5 grand would be a fair price. But I would rather buy the MeanYellowZ(one of my fav. thirdgens ever...even though I am more of a TA guy)...or a '91-'92 Z28. I just love the stock hoods where the top like pops out...I love the gfx..and I love the spoiler...actually 1991 Z-28 your car is beautiful...Ill give trade you my TC even trade...lol jk( i wish).

I like the color and rims, but the engine bay is way too busy.

 

Just about the ONLY thing I like is the is the time and effort he put in. Don't like the rims at all. Engine bay is WAAAAY too busy and those yellow wire tube things, YUCK. Color is OK.

Don't like.:lala:

 

he's got airbag suspension, so he can raise and lower each wheel seperately from inside the car.....probably drives it up, and shows it off down

 

I think it looks really cool. And I'd think he could get more for it.

Although I dont like the funny bumps on the wheels, if they were crome without the bumps they would be cool.

 

Personally, I think the engine bay looks like crap. Too sharp and in-you-face. Too much show. Too low. Bad color. And I hate nitrous. I'm not at all jealouse, my '89 'maro IROC is way nicer than that! -89IRO

 

IMO, 1991 Z-28's car is 20x better (on the outside at least). -89IRO

 

I agree the engine bay is a little too wild, but overall I like the car.

 

I dont see how nitrous and air bags mix...
I doubt youd get good handeling at high speeds..

 

he doesn't use the nitrous, and that the bottle has never even been filled up. he enters the car in a lot of shows, so that's all that it is for, show

 

well despite the air bags, would you really get good handling on a car with stock suspension and nitrous? i just never thought nitrous and handling went well together no matter what the suspension setup

 

nope you wouldn't have good handling. but i dont know anybody who uses nitrous when they'll need handling, just when they're goin straight. i'd be scared to hit the nitrous goin around turns, even if i had awesome suspension

 

Beauty car.

 

I'm not a fan of it. The wheels look good. The paint looks like it's painted well, but I'm not a fan of that color. Engine bay is way over done. But these are just my opinions.

 

true true true

 

sorry, double post

 

If and when someone claims that their car is nicer, they usually post a pic to prove it. I don't see any pics, now do I. And no offence, but at 17 years old, unless you have rich parents that pay for you car. I don't see yours being any nicer. Sorry, but the truth hurts sometimes

 

well the trick is so search around for along time and once u find the perfect one, GET IT.... low miles and sitting in a garage its whole life is the best way to go...
i paid 8500$ for my car... (Yes thats bit high), but it was sitting in a garage never driven for 5 years, and it only had 40k miles on it... the paint and everything was original and looks awesome... in that picture i posted all that is done is rims, thats it... so 8500 from 2200 for rims, and you have my car and its low miles, perfect...

but i just spent 10 grand hooking up my car... its in the shop now getting zz4 350, t56 6 speed, and everything else u can think of... but i have seen on ebay and autotrader.com some nice ones, you can get a 91-92 z28 with t-tops for around 7-8 grand , one with very little miles, u just have to shop around and wait for the one to come up and jump on it! before someone else does

 

it looks ok..

 

naaah nothing for me. Anyway its way too much money for that car.

 

first i don't understand why anyone would do anything less than an 8 point cage because anything less still allows chassis flex and second, the engine bay is WAY to cluttered, even for a tpi car.

 

When it comes down to it, a car is worth what someone else is willing to pay. This especially hold true when you get into custom cars. The blue book value of a car is a good indication of how much its worth, but with alot of custom work, the blue book dosnt mean much. Alot of custom work can make a car worth more (to people who like that car) or it can make a car worth less (to people who collect). When a car reaches a certain level of customization, you should really double check the work and make sure you're not buying someone elses heartache. That is probably THE main reason people wont pay more than the blue book value without really checking it out, or having a love for that model of car. That orange car is really nice, but would I pay that much for it? Nope. I wouldnt want Air Suspension. I'm sure someone else out there would though. It all depends on who the buyer is. So CamaroRS385hp, if you think its worth it then go for it.

Even if you dont get that one, I'm sure you'll find something someday. These things just take time. I waited 2 years before I found the right Camaro for me. $6500 later I had this orange blown 91 z28 ...


*thks for the touchup Lessk!*

Haven't started modding it yet .... soon ... very soon .... Just take your time man ... good things happen to those who wait ...

 

Cruzin Kaz- The truth DOES hurt, now doesn't it? It all depends on what your definition of "nice" is I guess. I am not at all rich and if I was, why would it matter to you or to anyone else? My car has the original 13 year old paint, a nicely detailed TPI engine compartment and a pretty rough interior, but in my eyes, I think my car is better than that orange one. Jees man, I was just saying my opinions on that car just like every other person has said. I would post a picture but have never been able to figure out how with this damn new digital camera, but that's ok because I have nothing to prove. Oh, crazyhawaiin- nice car, what color is that called? -89IRO (17, what the hell does that have to do with anything?)

 

I mean the paint looks of very high quality, maybe if it wasn't such a barf-colored orange. -89IRO

 

Its the same color as carrots when you barf them out. Sunset Orange Metallic.

 

Valuing a car that has been highly customized has a value X dollars. There is no specific value to go buy because every customized car is different. The prices in the blue book are for stock cars in various conditions.

Personally, I would buy it because I see it as a finished car. It would be nice to have a car that I can't think of anything else to improve upon. With my thirdgen, I have a whole lot of improvements to make.

 

Ahh, Devianb, working/customizing on these cars is half the fun! Crazy- what color is that called on your car? I like it. -89IRO
