Nice car, but description all wrong. Among other jewels this: "The TPI system was known for its short runners...." Well, from the pics, the car is most definitely NOT a TPI and he gets the TPI's characteristics wrong anyway, LOL.

They do say it is a factory 5.0 TBI and then ramble on about the TPI system that has nothing to do with this car. Interesting car though Sport Coupe vert with a 5.0 5peed that looks to be an ASC conversion.. Seems like a strange factory order combo. Definitely not a anywhere near desirable for 20K to leave someones bank account no matter the miles.

Re: 2,575 MILE 1987 CAMARO VERT

Wonder why the rear bumper was swapped out for one with ground-effects?
And what is the flex-tube running from the engine towards the passenger side, in front of the overflow tank?

Flex tube is part of the fix kit to prevent vapor lock and fuel delivery problems on carbed cars.

That car isn't even TBI, it's a 4bbl LG4 car. H in the 8th digit of the VIN.

I posted this car last year when it was on eBay. It sold for about $10K.
