WTB 85-89 Camaro w/ manual trans

Hello all,
Looking for a CLEAN AND LEAST AMOUNT OF RUST Camaro. Preferably an Iroc or z28 but has to have a manual trans. No color preference or motor preference because it will be swapped to LSX.

** not looking for a 10k car, just a reliable car that I can daily drive. All I care about is if it has Rust or not, and how much rust there is.

I live in south FL but do have an enclosed trailer so I can arrange a pick up if within a 1500 mile radius.

Contact Frank @
Email: Pavlockmotorsports@gmail.com
Phone: (954)850-0519

Thank you !

Re: WTB 85-89 Camaro 5.7/manual

Any 5.7 with a manual transmission will have had a transmission swap. No 350s from factory ever came with a manual.

Doesn't sound like you're going for a factory authentic car, but just wanted you to know.

Re: WTB 85-89 Camaro 5.7/manual

Also if you do find a car that has either been trans or motor swapped to get the 5.7/manual combo, that the trans will hold the motor. Seen a lot of 305 5 speed cars that have had 350s swapped in and the cars are still non World Class T5s.

My '87 iroc project was a tpi manual car from the factory and i swapped in a vortec 350, but have it backed to a WC T5 out of a newer car. Im hoping if I keep my foot out of it the trans will last until I swap in a TKO 5 speed.

Yeah I knew about that, but I figured a lot of people who had manual trans had swapped motors to 5.7s. I updated the original post to widen my search, thanks fellas !
