So I was a bone head for selling my Camaro long ago, but after more than 15 years I found it again, and its for sale...

I bought it while I was working overseas and never had a title, just a salvage paper for NY state.

Now the question is, how hard of a time am I going to have getting it back and registered (in NY as it happens) I imagine the shipping will be the easiest step, if not the cheapest, but does anyone know about ages for salvage cars, or if bill of sale applies to cars bought overseas?

Im going to call the DMV tomorrow and figure it out. In the mean time, my car isnt as pretty as she once was, as she kind of sat.

The bad is that she doesnt have her louvers anymore, not even her third brake spoiler anymore, and a few extra dents (probably from moving around a make shift junk yard the seller has)

The good is that the car still has 30k or so miles and I imagine it wasnt driven much, since it cant be registered overseas and its in a country that throws you in jail for doing so.

So Im pretty excited to get my car back!



I know not the best of shape anymore, but this was MY car. How often do you see that at a car show? Plus one that would be so "travelled"

 

Not sure who will see this...after so many years, and so many health problems lol.

But Im back. DIdnt get my old Camaro. Its likely long crushed now. But....I just bought a car today! 1985 Trans Am, T Tops, T5 and..a 350 carbed, headers and supposedly a cam. Thats if it ran lol. Body is straight. Complete-ish. Im really excited about it, even though I have no clue where to put it. I have too many cars lol.

Gonna figure out how to upload. Also, the pictures look weird. The rear isnt bent. Still, was going to pick up up today, but that Toyota in front wouldnt start lol. Its ok, gives me time to shuffle cars and squeeze them in more. Will be coming in a lot more, and logged in at that! Woohoo.
Cmon, you all know the feeling, that first day you get the F body, and none of its problems take away from how giddy you are.

Welcome back! Have alot of fun & enjoy your new toy!

 

Nice!! Get it up and running, enjoy the drives!

 

Thanks. As an aside, how do I see replies to threads? Been so long....

As far as the car, its got a solid body, but thats it. I did generally figure it had an aftermarket alarm, that is causing all kinds of issues, but once I started it, it would run half decent. Until today. It refuses to stay idling, has the worst surge Ive heard on a car outside of disels. It will rev to 3-4000rpm, then back to 500. No vacuum leaks. Theres this constant relay ticking (fast!) and I cant find the source. My hunch, something with the electronic ignition. Id love to go to a points set up. Just gut all the electronics on the car, and make it actually reliable.

It was a pain to just move it (I foolishly wanted to polish it and get that black stuff off the car. Nope. Its burned into to the metal. So, it will need paint. Its so poorly resprayed that alone, that could total out a car, since everything needs to come off. It also eats through batteries like crazy. I started the car, no more than 10 times, and battery is dead. I have to find where its sucking juice. Some short.

My insanity was thinking I could get it running in a week. Ive done this, but with 70s and 60s cars.
