Hello,

Someone if offering me to trade is 1985 Chevrolet Camaro V6 for my 88 GTA + 3000$.

His car seem pretty clean so I may say yes since I can't afford the GTA for much mire longer... Is this a Berlinetta or a Sport Coupe? Do you think it has been repainted? Any comments would be appreciated, you can see pics here:

Its a Sports Coupe. Couldn't tell you about the paint.

 

It's a Sport Coupe. Definetly a repaint IMO. Nice looking car.

 

Nice looking car! I personally like my V6 Camaro Daily Driver, gets fairly good milage too, roughly 280-300 miles per tank. If you need to get rid fo the GTA, I would say go for it!

 

Okay, I wasn't sure because the guy told me it had IROC-Z wheels for the summer and Berlinetta wheels for winter...

 

nice, remove the mud flaps and lower it and it would be a way sweet ride..... that and put a v8 in it.

 

it -Could- also be a berly, if the car's be repainted its possable that the berly badges were never put back on... would be intresting to get the rpo's off of it

 

Well the mirrors and door moldings are painted black, so I'm gonna guess that it was repainted.

 

I didn't even noticed the mirrors.

 

Im pretty sure its a sport coupe....If you look on the passenger side of the dash that emblem says "camaro"....On berlis it said berlinetta.....I used to have one

 

Well the fact all the goodies arnt in the dash tells me that isnt a burly.

 

Im guessing you mean the digital dash? my berli didnt have it....

 

Either does mine...

 

yeah some didnt have the space shuttle cockpit thing lol

 

wow, incredible looking sportcoupe! i wish i could find something like that in my area that was reasonably priced so i could have a daily driver that resembles my fast car. and just to show you what the right wheel combo and stance can do to a no-gfx car...GFX HATERS UNITE! lol!

 

Thats a bummer to hear WaOnFire.. You have one of the cleanest GTAs. Sad to see that thing go. I hope it goes to a right owner. Beautiful car you have, ashamed that it has to go. I remember you had a V6 yellow Firebird a year or two back. Was that you? Goodluck on the trade/selling the car.

 

Yes the yellow Firebird was me...

It's still not sure that I will trade it with him, but I need the cash... My girlfriend haven't worked for a while and for a couple of years I'm only staying alive to eat and sleep... I can't take it anymore With some cash I could pay off some things and everything would be better after except for the fact I wouldn't have a GTA anymore... But at least I would still have a nice little thirdgen, even if it's a V6.

 

i wouldnt trade a GTA for a sport coupe if my life depended on it imo there ugly as hell

 

I don't like them as much as my GTA but at least I would have a clean one and some cash to pay off some loan.

 

Actually the rims on it are probably off a Z28 or an RS. Iroc-z's did use them but only on 1988's.

 

cool car!

 

Looks like original paint to me.

I wouldn't trade a GTA for it though

 

Yeah but he will give me 3000$ with the car too...

 

Back in the old days with those cars were new it was common to see them with black mirrors. Those are Z28 wheels, the odd 88 IROC 15x7's have a different center cap and are 'all paint', no aluminum showing (I have a set). Nothing wrong with an SC

 

I wouldn't trade either.

 

Except for 85 . 85's were still rockin the body color mirrors and side moldings . That car looks like a 86-87 , those years DID have the flat black mirrors , the lower portion of the body and the side moldings in flat black as well .

N/M - look at the side view photo , the hatch has a bubble 3rd brake light on the top of the rear hatch . That is a 1986 , not a 85 .

 

Yeah you are right, the owner tought it was a 85 but when I told him about the top light he said it was a 86. So this car look all original then. Good

 

The deal fall trough... Well, to tell you the truth I don't know if I really want to sell my car.

Right now I work only to stay alive it seems... But, man, it's a GTA!

I have to keep working hard until august 2008 when my loan for the GTA clear.

Than I'll have some cash to spend!

So far........... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

82 & 83 berlies had the standard style dash. 84-86 had the *Star Wars* Dash.

Maybe yours was a pre 84?

 

the digital dash was an OPTION 84-86...it was not standard.

 

pop the hood look for over spray if you cant find any like on the fender bolts run your finger on the inside lip of the fender under the hodd it should be pretty smooth if it is all rough and you fell little paint spots all down it. them most likely it has been repainted. this is important especialy when buying a salvage car because if it has been repainted then it most likely has been in a wreck.

 

man that car grows on me more and more every time i look at it..best looking non gfx car i've ever seen. hey throw some gfx on it i think it would look good lol

 

thanks man, it means alot when another thirdgenner (especially GFX supporters) like my car.


too bad i don't have those wheels anymore...

 

what wheels do you have on there now? i think your car would look good with some prostars

 

i would love a set of prostars...however, i can't hardly afford the rest of the car right now, so prostars are out of the question. i'm using these wheels right now, but i wanna do another color than the black....my father has these same wheels in gold on his black z28 and i really liked the way they looked like on my car when i tried them on...so i may redo them in gold.

 

nice, the black looks good with the black headlight buckets and grille..cant picture the gold really but i'm sure it looks good.


didnt mean to jack this thread btw

 

the only way i would do the gold is if i did it JUST like the factory did, with polished lips and the black center.
