1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
I'm testing the waters here a little, but with a new house and family, I'm tight on cash, and the Camaro is on the list of things that may need to go. Its a nice car, very clean outside and in. Only rust is on the drivers side A pillar, and leading edge of the drivers side door. Interior is 4th gen leather, power drivers seat. Pioneer CD/Casette radio. Heat works, AC has been removed, still have all parts. 4 point harness on drivers side.
Under the hood is a crate 305, 20k miles since it's been purchased. Summit K1102 cam, ZZ3 intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, SLP headers (air deleted) and y-pipe, 3 inch exhaust, dual tips, vacuum advance Summit distributor. 700R4 trans, 10k miles since rebuilt w/ SLP shift kit and 2500rpm stall converter. Optima red top battery. 10k miles on Richmond 3.73 rear end with posi. Suspension is Tokico 5way adjustable Illuminas w/ lowering springs, Global West Swaybar, panhard bar, wonderbar, poly busing, Metco LCA's, fast-ratio steering box. ROH 16" wheels w/ BFG KDW's all around.
Car needs nothing to drive, it defintley has a new rag joint in its near future, there is some steering slop at the joint. It has a slight oil leak under heavy load. Temperature gauge isn't currently functioning, electric fans do turn on as they should. The car was originally a CC-qjet and CC-distributor setup, the wiring harness was a hack job, so it was removed for vacuum advance ignition and standard carb. I have not rigged a torque converter lockup, you're over stall speed at 70mph, so there isn't a tremendous RPM difference.
Its a nice quick car, about 9.6 seconds in the 1/8th, sounds good, and handles like its on rails. Extremly solid, the underside is very clean. I may entertain trades, otherwise, make offer. See my VBgarage for adt'l pictures.

Re: 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
I forgot to add in my description, it has a 145mph Z-28 dash cluster, the speedo has been calibrated for the 3.73 rear-end. All the gauges, work, I have a funky temperature sensor, so it will spike the gauge some times. Dash pad is all good, no cracks.
Price, I'd like to get $4000, but thats not firm. I would also entertain trades, I would specifically like to find an cheaper, higher miles, LS1 car to use for a daily driver, but may be open to other idea's.
Really, this is a nice clear car with a solid driveline, and great suspension. Its got a strong 305, but a nice 350 or stroker would really make this a sweet car.

Re: 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
The car is esentially designed for auto cross, just about every piece of suspension has been upgraded for increased handling. Its very light for a third gen also, so it is very nimble.

Re: 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
Brian is right, it is very competitive. I actually didn't have it to an event last year, only made it to the annual driving school I attend. But the informal competition we had at the end of the day showed it would be a very strong ESP car indeed. My instructor campaigns a 04 Z06, and he felt the handling was about on par with his setup, but without as much rubber.

Re: 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
Quick question what do you top out at with the 3.73's? Thanks and good luck with your sale, hate to see people giving up their third gen.

Re: 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe - Many Upgrades
3.73's in 4th gear with a 700R4 are good for a theoretical top speed of 175mph at 6000rpm. I doubt the car has enough power for that, I've had it to 120mph, that was enough.
