83' Camaro - 2.8/t5 (Dallas, Tx)
Hey guys, I'm thinking of selling my Black 83' Sports Coupe. It's got a 2.8/t5, 3.42 gears in it. here is whats wrong: *** No it's not the blue one in my signature***
*Needs new hood/fix hood
*some rust control (only surface as far as i know)
*needs new interior... it's rideable, but old and very used. also needs new passenger side visor (it's gone)
*driver side interior door handle (it opens from inside, but only with a tool)
*steering wheel has play in it
*ball joint needs replaced (go over a pot-hole and the car shakes)
*right rear needs new tire immediately, but all tires have little tread (has slow leak... 2-3 days and it's flat) - 14" tires (came like that)
the engine has something wrong with it. I think it's either a piston skirt, wrist pin, or something else (main reason why i want to sell it).
What i have done to the v6:
all new lifters/pushrods
new water pump
new gaskets on intake--> heads
new carburator
fixed driver side door so it opens (inside door handle i took off - it was a nub, outside i replaced)
cleaned top of heads, complete intake, valve covers
inspection and registration are good until march? or april of 2008
all new headlights/windshield wipers
As you can see i do want to fix the car.. but this has gone too much, there is something wrong... hell it may just need an oil pump replacement for all i know (the push rods squirt a little, but not shooting like most cars).
So, my loss is your gain. I would like 800$ obo. I don't have pictures yet, but i'll get some tomorrow after work if it stops raining.
Oh yeah, this thing has a sunroof, installed by previous owner - it does not leak, suprisingly. Everything is as gotten it except what i have fixed... when it was working properly it would spin the right tire through first and part of second... it would get up and go over 100 mph
I will not part it out, i want it gone. I have the blue title in my name.
The car is located in Sherman, Texas 75092... about 1 hour north of Dallas. best way to get in contact with me is message me or email me at: kickazz006@hotmail.com
i recommend trailering it. it will start up and go onto a trailer... well, it will drive across town but i don't trust that engine. But once paid for, everything is yours and is not warrantied at all.
Anyone can easily part this out and get a lot of money out of it. Oh yeah, I will also toss in an extra 89' front nose (including metal front bumper attached), a rear bumper, and a couple of other random parts that i have laying around that i planned on upgrading on this car... if it goes for full price, or around it.

Go here and browse all of the pictures. one of them i tried to take a picture of the VIN but it didn't work too well.

manual v6 83' camaro. 3.42 gears i believe. non-posi. needs new ball joint. sunroof does not leak. interior is semi-trashed, has the old car smell. ran great when the engine wasn't messed up. Valve covers are currently off, and the distributor bracket i lost (picking up one soon and re-installing it). but it will start up and drive... not a loud v6 like my 89', but it used to get up and go!
I would like 600 for it, but i can go a tad bit lower if needed. needs a new hood.
