Re: 218mph camaro?

It's so strange how the car can go 219mph with the factory tpi, yet the speedo only goes to 110mph

I do like the fact in one of the first pics there's blocks behind the wheels, thats a real selling point

Come on man!!! At least put air in the rear tire before, taking the pic, then asking 5000 for it

Re: 218mph camaro?

How come no one mentioned the awesome black rattle can interior color change? Those extra shiny purpleish-black seats and crunchy purpleish-black carpet look great with the original worn-out red door sill trim and seatbelts.

I can just see someone buying this car and bringing it to a dealer asking them to "program the computer board for 96 Impala SS injectors". I'm sure that's a super-easy task for any GM dealer, and afterwards the car will be able to hit 218 mph again with no other issues since it's otherwise perfect.

Re: 218mph camaro?

This is the only thing I hate about 3rd gen camaros. There are more ******ed out ones than there are decent ones. Every one has gone crazy on what they think cars are worth. There is a 72 chevelle over here on CL and the car has no chance of being saved. Both 1/4 have LARGE dents from being hit in the rear hard and the roof looks like it has a small tree fall on it. On top of that the doors and fenders were trash. They were asking 3500 for this roller with no interior.
