I AM REPOSTING THIS THREAD DUE TO ISSUES THAT THERE WAS MISINFORMATION ON IT AND I WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE. THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLEAN CAR/AND YES IT DOES HAVE FRESH PAINT.

THIS CAR WAS CONVERTED INTO A CONVERTIBLE BY ASC IN 1991. DOOR TAG IS THERE TO PROVE IT.

Check out this website. I found this regarding this car online. The current owner didnt know anything of this webpage about his car or that this had even been done to it.

This will give you its vin code, pics of it stripped down and car fax.

I will also give you the link to his craigslist ad.

***CAMARO IS RUNNING AGAIN, HE SAYS THE INJECTORS WILL NEED TO BE CLEANED OUT*****



I AM INTERESTED IN TRADING HIM FOR MY 1995 DODGE RAM 1500 OFF ROAD TRUCK. THE PRICE ON MY TRUCK CASH, FOR THE WAY HE WOULD BE TAKING IT IS $3700. HE IS ALSO THROWING IN A OLDER STYLE LARGER DIRTBIKE IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION


I am giving this car a second glance due to the fact that it did get better reviews than the 1984 Z28 that i was looking into. I hope this helps clear anything up that i may have missed in my original thread.

 

after reading the last thread and looking at that site i would stay away...theres too many things changed around and what looked like a ton of rust, not that i am against fixing these cars cause believe me i am all for it, but you don't know if it was good work or shotty work....if you want one i would save and buy a nice one thats mostly original and then you won't have to give up your truck and you can have both, thats what i do, and my winters can't be as yours. but what it really really boils down to is what you want. if you want it do the deal

oh and i would say that 9 times out of 10 when someone who is selling one of these cars says the injectors need "cleaning" they really mean or replacing, or it doesn't run right and they don't know why

 

ALRIGHT WELL I THINK IM PRETTY MUCH DONE LOOKING AT CAMAROS FOR AWHILE THEN. I THINK I MAY JUST SELL THE TRUCK CASH OR TRADE FOR AN SUV. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ON HERE IS THESE CARS SEEM TO BE PRETTY COMPLICATED.

THANKS FOR THE INFO

 

third gens arent that complicated, but they do tend to be a love / hate kind of affair,.

the 2 deals you were looking at just were just not right. plain and simple. there are better deals out there.

Heres another car, cheaper and needs work. If i cant find a car near me for an affordable price, can somebody please refer me to a site where i can find a good car...?

 

I know this is no where near you, but this is what you need to look for.

this would be a great platform to start with. If you wanted to be a stock-****, it wouldnt take a boat load of cash to get it there. OR if you wanted to go more performance, the car is unmolested and then YOU would know what is in it.

 

that is a very nice car, i like it except for the fact that it has high mileage. I wouldnt pay cash for anything that had over 130,000 miles. I suppose i should conquer one issue at a time, first being sell my truck so i had the cash to work with.

This car is a bit more expensive but it looks VERY NICE!!!

Here is another clean car within 100 miles of my house

Read his messsge in the post.. His daily driver broke down, but he drives this car to work? It also says the "new" engine has maybe 50 miles. (doubt that). He is willing to trade for a sport bike, who in MI does that if the are in need of a daily driver. I am from Mt. Pleasant and I know that the 3ft of snow make it hard to ride a bike. This is one of them deals that sounds to good to be true. $2,200 for a 400 horse bird, w/all the extras he has added on?

 

Look for something '85 and newer with the TPI in it. When buying a vert I would stay away from anything that seems remotely cobbled up. If you want a suv that will tear things up look into the '98 jeep grand cherokee 5.9 limited. I had one for a while and it was a blast to drive. Take your time and save your money for a fbody that is in good condition, its amazing the difference in car you will get when you go from spending 3500 to just 5500. Good luck with things.

 

I agree with loneroad. Third gens are actually quite simple and the later years only had a couple of models. They are quit simple to work on. Still offer decent handling and performance (350 auto / 305 5spd std) compared to today's cars. Clean ones do turn heads. Clean convertibles can turn a lot of heads. They only tend to get complicated when they've been messed with and have mixed parts and non-stock mods. And after 20+years the latter tends to be the case. But scoring a decent ride can be worth the effort. You also won't find them at a better price at this stage in their life. As for the bang for the buck, these cars are really hard to beat.

 

ive now bought this car, i have no clue what ou all are talking about, come to find out the timing was 180 deg, out of time! they put the dist in wrong and had the firing order wrong... along with 3 injectors were clogged, i had this car running withing 2 hours, this thing is super fast, i dont know what this car has as far as performance mods, but i know its not all stock... if anyone wants updated pics let me know,

 

Im so glad the car worked out for you! Honestly I was very hesitant on it due to the feed back and speaking with the original owner, who did not have any good things to say about the car. But congrats tho! I hope u have a blast! I've got a 95 eagle talon now, which is pushing all sorts of crazy power from numerous engine mods....but hey I'm glad it worked out for everybody.

 

thanks, i was the one you were talking to who had the 84 camaro, this car is clean, no rust no nothing, just a tiny dent in the finder but ill have that fixed in a day or so

 

and you thought a 3rd gen was too complicated? wait till the timing belt goes out

 

THANK YOU! id like to see this talon pull upto one of our thirdgens, ill blow its little wings off, those cars are ugly let alone in the ***** fact, nothing beats a good old thirdgen chevy or pontiac

 

and for the record, the car has no rust on it anymore, the floors were completely replaced from the firewall back to the trunk, this vert is rust free now, and it runs great, she made this car look like a total peice of ****, when its really a gem, heres a video of it running, sorry the audio is alittle off, my iphone has been acting up lately

Alright...so I really don't give a **** who bashes my new car on here. lol, this site is for camaros, so I new it was bound to happen. I just wanted to say that I was glad it worked out for him, and thY I am also very happy in the trade I got as well. my car was professionally built in cali, not some back yard hicks piling a bunch of parts together. anyways I am finished participating in your immaturity so have it it with my eagle talon.

o..one more thing. a dsm forum would rip you to shreds

 

back yard hicks? you should see some of the cars on here little girl, people have thousands of dollars into the PROFESIONALY BUILT MACHINES!
`
no one throws anything together in the site, its previous owners who do it and we just so happen to be the guys who save these cars from ignorant people like yourself who would more then likely blow the engine trying to put it into gear...

so before you run your mouth at us thirdgen guys and girls... i suggest you hold your tounge, you will be banned from OUR domain,

and the DSM BOARDS! HA! dont make me laugh, those boards are for mexicans and re tards who cant handle the power of a v8, and if they so called can i bet its long enough to wrap it around a pole...

you couldnt handle a thirdgen anyways,

F&%K YOU, AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

oh and another thing! why spend 3 grand on a turbo when you can spend 3 grand on another engine and have a good 500hp to play with? ingorance....
