Hello I'm interested in getting more info about this car I saw for sale.it says it has a pace car motor, I was wondering what is the difference between a stock 350 and a 350 pace car motor, just that the motor was in a pace car or what. Also any info on where to start restoration for a car like this. Thanks

My opinion about this car starts with the BS motor story and goes so deep you will need boots. Do you get it now.

 

Yeah, sounds like total BS to me. The only '350 pace car motors' I know of in Camaros are the LT1 in the 93 Z28 Indy 500, and the 350 in the 69 SS Indy 500 Convertible. I seriously doubt it has either of those engines. Assume it's a base carbed LG4 305. If the guy's not even smart enough to advertise it as a Z28, I would definitely not think he'd know anything about what engine's actually in it either.

Looks like a $5-800 car if it runs, drives, and doesn't have serious rust. Somehow I doubt this one's going to check out though judging by the pix and the idiot seller's description/claims.

 

At least it actually looks like an 84 Camaro.

 

No such thing exists. Just a collection of pretty words thrown together creatively.

Too bad we don't have a chicken-choking smilie on this site.

Probably a base-model LG4 car. If I was the betting kind, I'd bet, the LG4 is still in it. By the time you got it off his property it will have morphed completely from some romantic-sounding BS 350 back into 305 reality.

Looks to me like yerbasic 82-84 Z28 with a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD rattle-can paint job, done by somebody too lazy to keep the GFX the different color from the body like it used to be, from about 8 years ago, falling off of it.

I don't see any rust in the usual places though, which for a car in the Salt Belt, is not a bad thing at all. If it's cheeeep enough (to ME, I'd say, less than $400 or so) it could possibly be the beginning of a successful project.

Personally, I HATE red cars, let alone PINK; that would devalue it another couple $100, since I'd be too embarrassed to even park it in my driveway where people might accidentally see it before I got it .... concealed. But that's just me.

In case you can't tell, although I think it at least isn't already a total scrap heap, I think it's AHELLUVALONG WAY from being "valuable". Its history has left MANY marks on it. Time has not been kind to it.

 

1982 Daytona 500 Firebird Trans Am pace car had a 350 in it that was a "Pace Car" motor, however the story is BS....

 

Anyone call him out?
