Two MINT 1992 Heritage Camaro's on eBay

Ok, these two cars are emaculate. It's unbelievable how brand new these things are. The Z28 has 1900 miles and the RS has 400 miles! You can see in the Z28 auction the RS is sitting next to it.

1900 mile Z28

400 mile RS

That RS has to be THE LOWSET MILAGE THIRDGEN EVER!

First off, these are two fine cars as displayed. The only issue is that they've been on eBay numerous times, in Hemmings Motor News, Trader-On-Line, a couple of the national "Trader" magazines and other sales venues. They, of course, have not sold. I guess I am miffed as to why they've not sold over the past couple of years of attempts?

Because of the prices. There are a good amount of low mileage Third Gens out there still thankfully, but they cost alot.

hmm, on closer inspection, that one might have the hood unlatched which explains the gap. but i do see alot of them with big gaps there.

Yeah, that hood must be unlatched. If you look at where the edge of the hood meets the bumper cover all the way on the drivers side, there is like a two or three inch differential in height. Maybe he keeps the hood unlatched so he doesn't have to open the door and root around in the interior every time someone wants to see the engine.

Not that poping the hood requires rooting around or anything, but you know how car collectors are. They're nuts.

Those cars have been for sale for a long time. No excuse for the price when you car get a 67-69 RS/SS or Z28 for the same money. They are way over priced for now.

I agree, a 400 mile all origional 69 Z28 would command much more money.

But there many out there that have more miles and have been restored that go for 20,000 to 30,000. My friends 69 RS/SS Convertible comes to mind. he sold it for 20,000. It had over 100,000 on it but everthing had been redone. It was far superior in value for 20,000 than those low mile third gens. IMO

I do this on my '84 and a friend of mine does this on his '89. I've heard that it relieves the tension on the hood latch. But who knows? It's actually easier to disconnect the battery tender too by leaving the hood "popped".

First off, why in the hell would ANYONE pay $20000 bux for a damn V6 RS with stupid "heritage" stripes and a heritage badge. WHOOPDEDOO!

I just cannot imagine these cars to even be worth $20000 in the future, let alone a stupid V6 model.

Some people need to get their head out of the *** and drive their f*cking cars.

I don't mean to offend anyone, its just that a V6 heritage model (400 miles or not) is NOT worth that asking price. Its just absurd.

I think I'll go buy a brand new low-end Kia base model and store it for 12 years and see how much I can get for it in 2016.

Didn't think you were trying to offend anyone and I agree that is way too much for a V-6 1992 Camaro w/ the Heritage Package.

However, didn't feel that they are stupid Heritage stripes and it is a stupid V-6

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have either car.
The asking price is just not accurate. Maybe in 2016

I do LIKE the Heritage stripes, but.... If I understand it correctly its just an appearance package consisting of stripes, body colored grill w/ black headlight pockets, heritage badging.... therefore, I cannot see how it REALLY differs from any other 92 RS. I mean, all 92's were technically 25th anniv cars, what makes heritage so special

A RPO code, and the stuff you listed. It doesn't make the car really special, just its another option that I, and lots of others, like, and would pay a little more for, but it does not justify a 20,000 dollar price tag. That is more then the car costed new by a lot.
