looking at another camaro

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/car/309839331.html

he is about half an hour away.

how much do oyu think it is worth?

i will ask him what "updates" he has done.

overall i like the paintjob, atleast from the pics.

It has 137.000 miles and it is a V-8 305 or 350
> and it has been updated with cam, exhaust and such!!

Re: looking at another camaro

The pictures don't say much, but I don't like that it's sitting out in the snow. "No rust?" Yeah, right.

It probably has a 305 TBI, it has 137000 miles, it doesn't have any seats or guages? I think that's what he meant in the ad. And guessing by those pics, it looks like it's been for sale for a while. I'd offer him $2500. But definitly take a good look at it first and ask about the "updates". Good luck!

if it does not have any seats ill offer less. i thought he ment racing seats, i can live without seats until i buy some or w/e

Re: looking at another camaro

The RS wasn't available with a 350 unless it was a B4C, and that option wasn't available till later. If it's a V8 it's a TBI 305, not exactly a power house. At the very least the hood has been changed, since it's a Z28/IrocZ style hood, and the RS was only offered with a flat hood.

Of coarse this making the assumption that it's still original. And how do we know that for sure? The hood isn't, that paint isn't (although might be the same colour as original), the wheels arn't, the seats arn't (there actually don't even seem to ba any?), the gauges arn't (missing as well?).

This advice is only for regarding what that ride did have or should have, not neccessarily what it does have. To determine what kind of drivetrain is actually has may require investigating casting numbers etc, unless you really trust the source. After 18 years and the mods it has already, you may not know for sure.

Good luck.
