Got a new camaro.

A just bought a new(to me) Camaro off of ebay. It was about 40 minutes from my house, I went and picked it up on Monday. Check it out. It's an '88 SC with a 2.8. It's very rusty, but the parts that I need are actually pretty nice, with not a whole lot of rust. The hatch has almost none! That surprised me since the whole car is rusted through. lol. anyway for pics go here... www.cogshighperformance.com/88sc.htm

Definitely rusted, but even so, I like that car. Perhaps it's just the angle and the fact it's resting in the grass, but the car has a nice stance.

Ha, yeah I thought it looked pretty nice in the pics too. The guy seems to be a pretty good photographer. Looks better in the pics than it really does, and that little area where he had the car was a good place to put it.

Yeah, it would be a nice car if it wasn't for the rust. No Ttops though. and yes Im sure this is a 2.8. And Id be glad to sell you that spoiler. But I am going to wait until I put a new one on. I'll save your name and Ill send you a PM or email when I take it off.

Hey I just bought an 88SC also. Now I just gotta get it running. For $150, I think I got a deal. No Rust at all.

Good luck on yours.

I'm not sure on the actual mileage. I think it's close to 200k on the body and 40k on the motor. I paid $395 for it. And that is a nice lookin SC for $150!!! And no rust?! Wow!
