hey guys i finally did it and bought myself a 1984 camaro z28 with 67000 kms (41000 miles) heres a couple of pics let me know what you think

 

looks clean as hell on the outside and the inside you even got the funky seats but what happened to the intake tube?
----------
what are your plans for it

 

i have that the guy took it out to access the battery
--------------------
plans for now is to learn to drive stick... first mod will be SFC... then slowly id like to build a 383 stroker...

 

looks nice! How much did you pay?

 

i paid enough (6.9k)

 

you paid 7 grand for that american money right id call that dude and tell him to put that intake piece back on for that much

 

that not a terrible price....the CDN market is totally different---much higher prices.

Is the body and int as nice as the pics suggest?

 

I wouldn't say that was unreasonable for the car, its very clean.

Nice car !

 

Pretty nice. What you plan to do to it? Also this is the 1st time I have seen a camaro with a window wiper on the back window. Is that rare? Anyone?

 

Really clean looking ride! Considering how clean it is and the low mileage, I don't think that price is unreasonable. I am just finishing my 383 stroker project in my 88. It's a fun project.

As far as learning to drive a stick, you'll get the hang of it in no time. My first "new" vehicle had a manual trans. I had never driven one before but wanted one anyway. My grandfather took me to buy it and then made me drive it off the lot and to the house. It was an interesting experience. I spent the next two days "practicing" in the driveway. Back up..pull forward..repeat. The rest is easy.

 

clean lookin camaro, more pics! and that price doesn't seem too bad, whats the USD conversion for that amount?

as for driving stick- just sit with the car started and the clutch to the floor, then slowly let it up, once it reaches a certain point you'll see/feel the idle sink, stop there, thats the release point, any further and you'll stall. now just start depressing the gas and keep letting out the clutch as your hitting the gas. just do this in first, then switch to reverse and keep switching. this is how my Dad taught me a few years ago and it worked very well.

 

awesome car, i knew i should have waited to find a manual car


i wouldnt say rare, but i'm pretty sure its just on the early years. i wanna say 82-84 and even then its not on every one.

 

they are but the seats could use a bit of cleaning

idk i think the conversion is about the same right now
here are some more pics

 

those funky seats as you say. are a very rare find... excellent job.. looks good

 

my 84 z28 has one its actually nice to have there cuz the hatch window is kinda flat

 

Very nice car! That appears to actually be fully loaded! I see a power antenna, ERS, power seat, rear wiper, and the best part is that it has a manual! I really wish I had found a manual car now.

 

Looks like a much much much nicer version of my 1983 camaro. Mine is the less optioned model though.

If you could by any chance.. Take a few pictures of your engine.. I took some stuff apart and i cant seem to find what i did wrong with it so it has high idle and stuff. I mainly needa know where the hoses connect too out of that thing next to the big radiator hose.. Would really appretiate it. kinda having a hard time finding an engine identical to mine.. so id like to use yours as a guide. lol

 

Clean car. That interior is awesome, I may be the minority, but I love it.

 

thats one CLEAN camaro i wish mine was 5spd

 

Awesome car!!Looks like it is worth every penny!!As far as driving a stick shift, this is how my ex-girlfriend put it- if you can kiss and +@(/ at the same time, you can drive a stick. LOL

 

thanks for all the comments i guess i made a good buy your close its missing the power antenna (it has the regular one the guy took it off its in the trunk pic) it also doesnt have power seats but it does have lumbar

thanks for the comments i will try to make some pics of that general area

 

Nice, always glad to see a clean early third gen. Let me know if you have any questions specific to the 84 model, I've been wrenching on mine for 5 years now.

 

Not rare but fairly uncommon.

 

Here's a couple of diagrams. Let me know if thats all you need. I got a zillion pictures of L69 engines.

 

The last one I drew up on my computer and printed it on vinyl sticker paper and put it on my cowl just like it was OEM.
----------
And I see no air conditioning, that means you can buy the Edelbrock Shock tower brace. They dont fit early model 3rd gens with A/C. I would put on a wonderbar, STB, and then the SFC... In that order. And I love the L/S "Camaro" interior. I have the same, just in blue.

 

Very nice and clean Camaro you found there.

My '85 Z28 has/had a rear window wiper. The word "rare" makes it seem like it's desirable.

 

The rear wiper isn't the most stylish part on the car, but with freeway driving it's very functional. I love mine.

 

Overall I like the car.
Very clean, and at least around here a stick is a hard thing to find.
The ones I do see are usually gone before I even get a chance to see it.

I am not digging the interior color, but figured that if the car’s outer color was different, then the interior might go well.

Overall, very nice car, hope you get to enjoy it for years to come.

 

thanks for more comments lol here are some of those pics
