History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!
Blue, tpi 5speed, charcoal interior. That is a great car. Might be a repray but it still has all the right stuff. If that was near me I would be checking it for sure.
What do you mean that it's "probably" a respray? It's very apparent that it's a respray with the overspray all over it! Without knowing more about it, a car with 106k miles, the price could be low, it could be high. Someone needs to look at it and find out what's being hidden. I don't understand how people can advertise the car as a investment/show car when it's not even detailed.
I mean.. any car can go to a cruise night and IROCs do turn heads, but this is no show quality paint job..
Looks like a car that looks nice from across the street but I can only assume the texture of that paint up close, in person is not so hot..
Also in an ad where the seller says “It’s worth $16,500 but I’ll sell it to you for $8200” you have to wonder “why the discount?”
It is a desireable combination, metallic blue, 5-speed, TPI, gray deluxe 87 interior.. but it has issues.
In my experience these cars start having a lot of issues around 100k as well.. You’d have to see how well it was maintained. By 100k there would have to be oil leaks addressed, front end, brakes, clutch, exhaust, etc.. Usually stuff like the trunk pull down will stop working..
Was the car ever hit? How rusty is the underside?
I have a feeling upon close inspection $8200 might seem high..

Whenever I see a paint job like this, I have to wonder how bad the original paint was to consider this an improvement.
1.
conforming with generally accepted standards of respectable or moral behavior.
"the good name of such a decent and innocent person"
2.
of an acceptable standard; satisfactory.
"find me a decent cup of coffee"synonyms:satisfactory, reasonable, fair, acceptable, adequate, sufficient, ample;
not bad, all right, tolerable, passable, suitable; informalOK, okay, up to snuff
"a job with decent pay"
Also, who's the appraiser? A buddy who said it's worth $xx,xxx? Where's the written report, and why not present copy?
Car is appraised at $16,800 and keeps going up, this is an investment car/show car/Sunday cruiser.
Let's hypothetically say that it was original paint and was never resprayed, would it really be worth $8k? that just seems high to me considering the miles.
I kinda chuckled at the 16k appraised thing also, lol! I should ask him who gave him that number and have mine checked out! But yea, obviously the repaint isn't great. But if i was looking, (actually I'm always looking, but i can't put that kind of cash out right now), I'd definitely go look at it. That's why i posted it. Very desirable car. And if it's clean and solid might be worth close to his asking price. Most people are a little more flexible when you got a handful of Benjamins in front of them.
