hey guys guess what, im almost likely to pick up a 4th gen sunday/monday

the guy is already holding it for me, i checked it out and its clean and stock as hell.

its a 98 z28 6speed.

weather wasnt too great so im holding off on the driving part. but once i get to test drive it, and it drives well, ill be picking it up.

This will make a great daily driver for me, the iroc will still be done shortly. but now i dont have to worry or rush the project together.

 

how much are you getting that for?

 

on norcal-ls1 travis said hes gonna get it for $6500. If everything checks out fine, he should get it.

 

6500 for a 98 Z28? ummm..

Salvage title? Drug repo? Rolled down the side of the interstate? 200,xxx miles? You got the year wrong and it's actually a clean 97?

 

It has 120k miles on it. Travis checked it out and it looks like its in good condition. Woohoo we might have another one converted to 4th gen

 

Looks to be a fair price for it Travis.
Average Blue Book for that car/miles could be 5600-6500 options depending.
Tough owning 2 cars sometimes though.
You going to insure either?
Doesn't all that $ take away from your IROC plans?

 

you know he won't insure it

 

Pretty risky if you're going to invest $6500.
Worth more than the IROC by far, regardless of which is faster.

 

Mega bad idea. Espeically with one violation of same on the books.

Just sayin'

 

yeah i'd definitely insure that Z28, even if you won't insure the IROC.

 

I would buy a cheap daily driver,like 2,000 bucks and use the rest on the iroc.

 

i seen it its not bad condition

small dent in the front bumper, suspension needs a little work, she runs beautiful,

it needs a good bath too its the orignal owners, that have too many cars and got too old it runs perfect when i saw it


TRAVIZ SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL

 

I would've gone with a cheaper daily driver too, although I'm sure this one is nice as can be for what it is.
Something tells me the new ride would get most of your time and $ once you start to mod it, and the IROC will be a thing of the past.
Hard to argue with 10+ years of technology and a nicer quality ride though.

 

he said hes not gonna mod it

 

I would not only put $$ on it getting some mods, but that the IROC would be sold within a couple years.
Might as well get it together now and sell it while it still runs!
. ..sorry, bit cynical and would hate to see you posting more on that other site with those rich a$$-clowns. haha.

 

dont worry guys, i swear im not leaving the thirdgen community, i will only put a muffler on the damned thing, its too quite.

it wont be modded till im done with the iroc, i really do love the roc . and I believe it wil be worth something to look at someday.

now i can afford to leave the roc down for a few days at a time to swap parts.

so what was that awhile back about bring your beater to the track day?

yup thats my beater.. that ole 98 z28.
lol

i put 400 down today, ill be picking it up monday.

cats in the bag.

and for the price, i think they dont know what they have, since they are selling based on bb value. (del, i priced it, and got 6700)
premium wheels, multi disc changer. leather interior (no rips!) its got it all.

im just lucky to nab this one at the price

and yes its 120k miles on it.

local owner too

 

Pics, junior!

More pics!

 

cool man, that's impressive pair of camaros you'll have.

as for the kbb, depends on what you put for overall condition too, could be 6200-6800, i put "good", not "excellent".

it's a great motor and has a lot of nice creature comforts i'm sure compared to your IROC.

should be interesting at the track too, a 6-speed and lack of traction probably, but still 13's.

 

I will have pics when i actually pick it up this monday. I cant get all my money out of the bank until then lol

stupid 400/day draw on the atm

ill make will get pics, and he didnt believe me when i msg'd him

i said "dude im buying that 4th gen you see outside"

(will works next door to me)

and he said "no your not bish lol"

and then i said "look idiot, im checking it out right now with the owner"

lol

 

i did fair cuz the one dent in the front bumper and little wear in the leather seats.

 

haha. crazy bishes.
dude, tell me you're going to insure the z28 at least.
aren't the banks closed on monday for the holiday, or is that just me? heheh.

 

ahh crap you just reminded me. ***

i dont have checks so that doesnt help.

and yes del, it will be insured.

 

You'de think after dumping so much money into the iroc that it would be insured too.

 

...nah

 

< TraviZ

 

insurance doesnt help if you dont have a license

traviz pay the damn county off

 

its paid.

 

woo im meeting the guy tomorrow at 10am

wish me luck.

im trying to talk him down. lets see

 

congrats traviz. Is it a manual or auto?

 

booo
traitor*
heh.

.. .and in response to your text msg, Travis.
no way my Supra is worth more than my GTA, that's why it qualifies as a beater.
probably worth 4, where i might get 7+ for my GTA.
i'd say your Iroc is the beater compared to the LS1 at this point when you base it on value.
it has the higher miles and is worth the least of the 2.
not that i would want to race either with mine, haha.

 

manual

just picked it up today like i said, its a beauty, needs a few kinks worked out, but definitely a keeper, and a beater.

 

pictures, thanks to Will, enjoy.!

 

Wow, you have a very nice beater indeed!

 

travis where do u get all this money? drugs, pimpin, bank heist, extortion?

 

congrats on ur ride. Does it have any mods, or its stock. I suggest the first mod u should get is a short shifter and a shortstick. It definatly made a differents on my car. heres a pic

 

Travis,you're a DICK!

 

lol thanks for the compliments.

the car is still a virgin. bone stock.
and im not allowed to mod it until the iroc project is complete.
otherwise im a traitor. lol

 

and it's red too.

 

Great deal. Maybe this is just a little jealousy talking but 4th gens are but ugly. So have you scoped out a place for the bottle yet?

 

I hate the look of the 4th gens aswell.. too Round...

 

Nice pics bish, thanks to me, lol. Anyway, nice car, I think you did a good job on it. After riding in it I want one now for a daily driver. It's a very clean car, fast, and rides and handles well too.

 

So if this car is a "beater", than your IROC must be a big fat steaming pile of $hit!

It's a sweet looking ride and porkyzilla already told me you like it better

You sure you can drive a stick?

 

Sorry Travis (4th genner ) but I'm still laughin!!!!!!

HEY!!

I shouldn't give Travis $hit.... His IROC made all the way to my place and back (long way)

I bet ya that a 175 shot and $4.5k of mods (LS6 upgrade) and the 4th gen will be faster then the stroker 3rd gen.
Spend another 12k for a LS7 and upgrade to a 2 stage N2O ($1k)or turbo ($3K) and your in the 10's.... street legal.....factory stock upgrade.

My next motor will start from the LS7 block.

 

I'm not a fan of the early Camaro 4th gen exteriors, they got better with age.
Can't go wrong with that interior though, just the way I'd want it.
We'll see how well you can drive that 6spd at the track soon enough I'm sure.
I'm sticking with the IROC is your beater and this 4th will be your main focus sooner than later.

 

wow that thing is nice for 6500 good buy travis!!!!!!

 

oh yah, were you able to talk him down?
that motor is pretty broken in with 120 on the clock in just 7-8 years.

 

iroc=car i care about and want to be a monster
z28=beater.

i talked the dude down but his wife would not budge so i gave in and paid the 6500.

no track time unless i hear you guys going and my iroc is down lol.

 

Ha ha, I wouldn't run that 4th gen at the track, that oil eating piston slapping pile of sh$t might blow up and end up like your iroc, lol. Keep it stock except for the exhaust and stick to daily driving it only.

 

i actually dig the exhaust.

 

Lol, ya right bish, your nuts, my cobalt sounds better than that stock exhaust. Give me a break, and mod it already.
