WTB Hardtop Camaro
82-92, Hard top, trim/engine/trans does not matter as I plan to turn it into a street/Trackday car. preferably rust free.
I'm in Windsor Ontario, so I'm close to Detroit/Windsor border.
LMK!

Re: WTB Hardtop Camaro
Have you noticed that most 3rd gens for sale that are halfway decent seem to be either in Toronto or Ottawa (or in between)? Drove me nuts when I was shopping. I did drive to Ottawa once myself, car wasn’t as advertised and seller wouldn’t negotiate a single penny. Lucky to find my car within an hours drive.
Good luck on the search/project.

Re: WTB Hardtop Camaro
Yeah rust can be an issue but (no BS) garaged-winters is pretty common. Maintain your kijiji sweep

e.g. http://www.autotrader.ca/result/AdDe...frnID=10524140
and you'll have lots of potentials with those parameters.

Re: WTB Hardtop Camaro
No kidding, eh?. I window shopped state side a lot. I figured min 30% adder, as much as 40%, when exchange, out of province inspection, A/C tax, shipping, costs to drive/fly to view the car first just made it too much. If a $10k USD car costs me $14k CAN that's a problem.

My Charger for instance was a southern car, that had been brought to Michigan, all in, with exchange it cost me $2600 for the chassis, which judging by how Mopars have gone insane as of late, is not horrible.

Re: WTB Hardtop Camaro
I could see there being good deals but finding the rust free stuff gets harder the farther north one is. I could also see projects/chassis/parts being a great deal. I was only looking for a complete original car which made it harder. I'd love to have bought a southern car but I lacked time to shop locally let alone diving to Kentucky etc. lol
Ah geez, I have hijacked your thread, sorry about that.

Re: WTB Hardtop Camaro
You should look for an 82-87 so if you did get the itch to street the thing you could without having to deal with Ontario emissions. Look down south, I can't tell you how many cars I looked at in Essex county that were "really clean cars" to get there and see the carpet hanging out of the driver and passenger floor boards. I have seen quite a few clean third gens in boneyards in Nashville, TN over the years that people up north would have loved to have, and that's only around 8 hours from you. Also, clean ones a lot of times go for nothing out in Southern California because their insane emissions forces them off the roads. You could likely use an Escrow service to purchase something out there for not a lot and get it inspected, factor in $1000-$1500 for shipping to MI.
