And another Ebay 1LE

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...fCarsQ5fTrucks

Saw this in another thread. Supposedly original but I noticed slotted front rotors and are those accel intake runners? Noticed an Accel sticker next to the tune up sticker under the hood. Seems a little pricey if it has been molested but otherwise looks nice

Thoughts?

Re: And another Ebay 1LE

Those runners look stock to me... They're not even the rough cast look Corvette runners, but the standard smooth/glossy Camaro/Firebird runners. The tag reads its for part# 74196 which is the Super Ram... Obviously if the car had a Super Ram at one time, it doesn't now.

However, the plenum has been painted, the alternator is a parts store replacement, the seat belt guides, and rear bumper emblem are missing. Overall it doesn't look bad.

Edit: I almost forgot... Goodyear RS-A tires are garbage. In addition to not being accurate for the car, they'd make the car seem like a real powerhouse since they don't stick well even in ideal conditions. They're dangerous with even a hint of moisture in the air.

I think the Plenum is the plastic plenum.. I am not sure who made it, I want to think Arizona speed & Marine... My neighbor has a plenum just like that in his attic IIRC...

Re: And another Ebay 1LE

I've e-mailed back and forth with the seller and they are pretty firm on that $16,000 price. I brought up the obvious issues in the photos and as far as they know it is 100% stock. It did at one time have a Super Ram on it but they converted it back.

The slotted rotors concern me also. Even I have a hard time burning through rotors in 12K+ miles. Why the missing seat belt guides/emblem he had no answer. Definately not a stock un-molested example

I'll pass on this one.

Re: And another Ebay 1LE

The exterior and interior of that car is identical to mine, minus mine is a 350/auto, had a CD player, no rear defrost. I still have my seat belt guides I believe somewhere. The odd thing I saw was there was no emblem on the pass side rear bumper. I bought mine in 2001 with 19,xxx miles for 12k.
