My car, pics inside

well this is my camaro, its a v8 ( lg4 ) but it gets the job done and has a very good condition engine with only 73k miles on it, its a 305 5.7L '87 LT camaro. heres some pics.










the paint job is a really nice one and cost a pretty penny, no MACCo bullsh*t, it really shines in the day, aside from being an lg4, i like it a lot.

im assuming you meant 5.0, not 5.7(5.7 is a 350). anyway thats one clean car. Get some rims and tires on that thing and it'll really stand out.

thats a nice shirt BTW

is it 5.0, its either ive been wrong, and its a 5.0, or ive been wrong on the opposite side and its a 5.7 350, but when i checked the vin it said 305 5.7L and when the engine had work done to the receipt said 5.7L also, it didnt say anything about cubic inches, im not a real big engine fanatic ive just loved camaros since i was like 8.

Yeah, it is a 5.0

305=5.0
350=5.7

I can tell you from looking at that picture its a 5.0 305. Check the tech data too. It isn't a 5.7 man, no matter what your receipts aren't a good place of info, mine say 5.7 everytime I get an inspection, juss cause they are stupid. I don't know where you checked your VIN number, but try this websites VIN checker, i doubt you'll get 5.7 unless you are doing somethign wrong. Notice the configuration of the alt. and a/c gen, 305 lg4

Another thing, you wrote its an "its a 305 5.7L '87 LT camaro" will if it was an LT CAMARO it'd be an v6, second thing if it is an lg4 its an 5.0 (305)there are no lg4 350s. Go look on the block for the numbers and post them here to be sure.

I agree... Nice car, but needs rims BADLY. Buy some 91-92 Z rims (which Mac has for sale) then if you have money, buy a 92 RS (which I have for sale )

thanks, yeah i do need rims badly...real bad, so bad it hurts to think... and i need new seats and get the inside cleaned out, because it looks like a beatuy on the outside but its a beast on the inside and how much would a set of ground effects cost, theres also the problem of getting them painted, and anyways ill probably be scratching them because its so easy to bottom out around here and with gfx it'd be worse.

ya looks like a real clean car but the clebrety caps arent cutting it man, its killing the look of the car, even if u are strapped for cash just buy some OEM 15 inch z28 wheels which u can probably get for about 100$ a set just about n e where. but if u have around 400$ laying around for the set than id say the IRCO wheels, no ground FX, unless thier OEM for that paticular car i feel it ruins the cars intregity JMHO
