--------I didn't know where to put this mods----------

I don't have any pics yet, but I will.

The car is a '91 or '92 RS with t tops.

On the window it says 1000 OBO

The car has seen better days, but the good part is the body is pretty straight. Someone spray painted from the doors back with a rattle can and the t- tops. It looks like black paint on the t-tops the rest is red, and yes the t-tops are painted.
There is surface rust on the panels and around the glass, it seems to be minor, but then again you never know.
All of the rubber is dry rotted.
The driver side door and the hood alignment is way off.
Tires and wheels are trash, the interior looks like **** too.
BUT, it's a complete car and i'm thinking about offering the owner $500.

I need some opinions here.
I'm still working on my '92 RS, it's almost done, but I work slow.
I can buy the car and leave it outside in the weather for another year or two.
On the flip side I can buy another Camaro in two years that is a better off, if I come by one, and not have to put so much time and money it it.

With all that said, these cars are not so common like they used to be, not in these parts. I would hate to pass up a opportunity..............

 

youve got 1 bada$$ ride allready!

just let it go...

 

you do have a bad assssssss car but yeah 500 is cheap that is what i got mine for and mine runs strong just needed new spark plugs so i mean it really depends if you wanna put the work in it. where is this car located?

 

i'd pass, body work is more expensive, just buy a nice solid car later on down the road.

 

Charleston, SC


Thanks for the input guys!

 

I'd pass, unless they take $400 for it. You could use the car to "practice" with.

Things like a higher powered buffer, the "paint added to wax" detailing myth, stripping paint from glass, repairing rust, etc.

 

Hard to really say without pictures. But being from SC you won't have a rust issue so that is a plus. If you can get it for $500 and it runs then I say go for it. You can at least fix it up enough to sell for more than $500. Like you said these cars are not at a premium. Plus it is a T Top car. Add up what it will cost over a period of time to restore and determine if you are willing to pay that much.

 

NICE CAR.... post some pics up and see if there is anything on craigslist or autotrader to see if there a better deal if not id go for it..is it a 305??

 

Not sure....

 

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT IS SELLING A Z28 FOR 750.00 NEEDS MOTOR AND TRANNY WORK . INSIDE IS OKAY OUTSIDE IS IN GOOD SHAPE HAS ONE DENT IN DRIVERS REAR QUATER BEHIND THE WHEEL. NO RUST BUT NOT A T-TOP, HAS A 350 /700R4 W/4:10'S. IN NEW ORLEANS THESE CARS ARE VERY COMMON,BUT SOME PEOPLE WANT 2 MUCH $$$ FOR THEM.

 

I just talked to the owner, it's a '91 V6 with about 125000 miles on it, oh and it runs that part shocked the **** out of me.
He ask me what I was willing to give for it before I made a offer, I told him $300 and he didn't say no. Sounds like he wants rid of it asap.
I'm going to call him back in a week and maybe offer $150.

For $300 or under, can't go wrong. Above, I'd pass. I got my 1992 for $800, with body in great shape except for one dent in pass 1/4 panel, but the rest of car in and out was in great shape.

 

if ya could get it for 400-500 i would pick it up and just part it out =)

 

That would be great to get it for $150- $300 range. I bought both my my 86 iroc and my 88 gta for 2500. The gta had a 350 and 60k original miles and one owner, and the iroc has 104k and one owner with a 305 h.o. I put the gta at my friends warehouse,he is a car collector, since it was in such good condition except the windshield tires,which were replaced i thought he could show it off,so i sold it to him for ...get this $8k and i only paid $1250 for it, but i would have kept it if it was an older body stlye...didnt like the front cap or ground effects. I like the body oy the camaro,plus i am a die hard camaro freak, when i got married my wife knew i liked them so much she did it in all old school camaroes, 67-69. Lets just say i was very xcited. but any way i dumped all the money i got from the bird into the new motor in the iroc. Sorry bout the rambling but ne way buy and part it out to make more money to fix ur camaro!

 

The only thing I'd be concerned about is that fresh paint. Could be covering 20 pounds of Bondo. But for that price, you don't have much to lose.

 

just a small question. when you guyz put a 383 in ur cars do u stroke them or no?

 

why dont you save the money and put a 350+ into the car you have now

 

I'm looking at a crate motor from Jegs.

But i'm having a hard time deciding on it. Money isn't the issue it's the smog laws that we don't have here in SC, YET. I'm afraid that once I change the motor to a carb some stupid law will get passed and then i'm screwed.

BTW- Does anyone know if cars older than 20 years are exempt from smog laws?

 

The Chevy 383 is a stroker motor. So yes, you have to.

Unless you're talking about a Mopar 383. Then you don't have to stroke it.

 

i had a friend that put a 383 in his rs and said he didnt stroke it thats y i really asked because i knew that u had to stroke it.

 

If in fact you are talking to me,I do have a 350(ramjet)crate motor, with a pro comp cam(.480 lift), world class comp heads ported and polished, ported and polish intake maifold, heddman shorties, high flow borla cat back quad exauhst,roller rokers,roller timing chain,56mm tpi, 25lb holley injectors.the attachment is my old 305 h.o. to see my new motor check out thread that says engine color.
