Im thinking of getting this camaro. i wanted to know if you could tell me if i should get it and what to do with it if i do. it looks to be in good shape all but the dent in the door (w/replacement door )and some clear coat running. its got 120k miles on a 305 TPI lots of new parts 700r4 trans auto new exaust sys.. its only $1,000 its the cheapest i could find. let me know if i should get it .If i do get it i was thinking about getting new tires and rims on it cuz the ones on it look bad.If you could tell me what kind would look good.and iwas thinking about having the windows tinted dont know if it will look good though if you have any other sugestions that would help

Thanks

 

Only a $1000, I would be looking for something wrong, especially with only 120k miles, with new parts, and new exhaust. Have any pics of the car?

 

I cant get the pics to work but its a 1986 Black Iroc-z with a small dent in the drivers side

 

here's a pic of my tint.

 

As long as it runs fine, I think it's a good deal, just need new tires and rims and some body work. If you're looking for some IROC rims, I might sell mine, I'd really like to get the chrome IROC rims, just figured I could sell mine to help pay for them.. Not sure yet.

 

Whew...you weren't kidding. Those wheels are hideous.

 

Oh well guess i got the pics to work it was lady driven and she said she goes to school and bought anouther car and needs the money that she spent on it back. Hers her discription of it Iroc-Z28 305Tune-Port Injected, 700R4 Transmission with shift kit, STARTER ALTERNATOR, PLUGS, WIRES, CAP AND ROTOR FRONT STRUTS AND REAR AIR SHOCKS OXYGEN SENSOR, NEW EXHAUST W/ CHROME TIPS BRAKES FRONT AND REAR W/ ROTORS, SEALS AND BEARINGS, CALIPERS,REAR DRUM BACKING PLATES ALL NEW REAR BRACK LINES,FUEL FILTER,AIR FILTERS THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR (TPS)

 

Only $1000 for all those new parts. I would be cautious, then again, it could be a steal of a deal.
Oh, and not to nit pick, but from the pics are those chrome tips?, doesn't look like it.

 

She said they where chrome but i would replace them if i get it.Sweet ride Mark Thats what i want mine to look like in a few years.I listened to your exaust clip what was the name of the system you used it sounds nice.

 

what is that on the tach? it seems like it's stuck??

 

Thanks, it's the Hooker cat-back. Gets a little messed up around 3rd gear, I guess the wind messed up the recording.
For the tach, there's a wire that connects to the distributor for it, make sure it's attached. There are 2 wires however, I'm not sure which. Looks like the interior needs some work, but still to me $1000 ain't bad as long as it runs well.

I got the same steering wheel.

 

Your wheels are rally wheels off of a second gen, they're not that bad...

 

$1000 is the upper limit that I would spend, but I'd say go ahead and get it. If you're the type of person who enjoys working on a car, that is... If you're not, then move on.

 

doesn't look to be in that bad of shape. just needs to be cleaned up alittle and be given a little TLC. Something about the suspension looks funny to me. I think it may have the GM syndrome......lazy front springs causing it to droop in the front. easy fix though

I got my car for only a grand. 1990 Trans Am. Guy needed to get rid of it. Runs perfect. Just needs paint. Mine was in a lot better shape though (no offense, man) . I say go for it.

 

TPI for 1000? i 'll take it!!!!

 

Not bad body for 1k, but be sure you have it thoroughly checked out by a mechanic before you fork over all the cash. Seems way too cheap for the price.

 

I can see a few visual problems with this car, move along, are you sure its an IROC, whats the VIN number, looks like Its been repainted, cuase the stripe is there but the IROC-Z decals aren't. Interior looks ragged and under the hood looks damn dirty.

Alot of new parts can be a sign of alot of problems too. Unless its things like performance cam and alumiumin heads, things that don't really need to be added to keep the car running, but those all sound like things that replaced to solve a problem.

This car looks like its been pieced together. Check the wiring too. My Rs was pieced together, while it looked and ran great, cuase they did a decent job, the wiring was a mickey mouse job. **** poor and hot wired everywhere.

 

If I were you I'd pass that thing up and save up another 1000 bucks, you can get something nicer for cheap, look what 2000 bucks got me orginally:









And I sold her for 3500$ bucks to a navy man. Of course I put close to 900 dollars in her, fixing the tranny fuel pump and new tires. But I still made a good profit from her.

Allowed me to buy ....... \/
