Price for third gen?

I on't know if this is the right forum for this ad, but i was wondering what people are selling camaro's for with-out motors? I have a 89Rs that someone converted to a iroc. I pulled the motor and tranny out and the dash cluster. I am wanting to sell it cheap.. t-top car and they don't leak. I am trying to figure out a fair price. Can you guys help me out? here are 2 pics of it. by the way, the fiberglass hood isn't going either.

$200+/- is a fair asking price. IMO

That is a side pipe, we won't talk about that. 3in side pipes are a bad idea. I won't ever try that again!! I was thinking in the $700-$900 range for the price. i just wanted to get a ballpark on what you guys thought. I couldn't sell it for 3g's and sleep at night.

lumina for an engine..hehe ought to. I am putting the 327 into my other 89 and am building a 434 smallblock for the chevelle. I just got the block done about 1week ago and ordered the roating assembly yesterday.


I should post some pictures of the sidepipes after i took them off the car. My welds held up, but the rest of the pipe didn't do too good. there were a couple holes, some crushed areas, some pieces of pipe torn off. it was ugly. I thought they kept getting louder by the way there was no mufflers either. just straight 3in out.

here is a picture of the 69. It is pretty rough. It needs quarters, and rear window cowl trim replaced. I am debating on buying a fiberglass one piece front end for it.

No, i don't have any shots of the front yet. It's at my friend's house right now. I was out "testing" the motor that was in it, when it decided to junk a u-joint. I am building a motor for it, so i went out and had some fun burning the tires off!

Thats the way to go. This way you get to pick your own motor. Oh yeah I paid 900 for my bird with a engine. The engine was shot. Me my dad and my Bro did everything we could to get it running but it would only run for 3 seconds the die. Then I wouldn't even do anything except turn over with the starter. Well a while down the road I found a wrecked Camaro for sale for about $500.00. The engine was good so we swaped them. Yeah It took me about 2 Grand to get my ride on the road. And thats just the Begining!

Yup, I got my bird for 500 bucks with a blown motor. I'd say you could get 1000 for your camaro. Thats the way to go, build it how you like it.

well, i guess that was a pretty fair price. I sold it today. The only reason i sold it so cheap was because i had to get it out of the driveway.

I paid $200 for my camaro with a blown motor. Biggest mistake redoing a 6 cylinder, but if i had any more power learning to drive, id be dead. I paid $250 for my trans am, as the guy wanted it off his lawn and it didnt run. A $30 timing chain and 3 hours fixed that problem. But then again, me and my father redid the body and that was a lot of hours of labor, but well worth it.
