Thats what I am looking for, do you have a model number? Also how wide is it? Let me know, Thanks.
The Car
The camaro is basically a project car. I have had it for about 6 months and I have a clear title. The car is a 1985 t-top camaro z28, mileage unknown. The engine is a flat tappet cam, 305 tuned port injection engine, with a newer serpentine setup. The ac and smog equipment have been removed. When I purchased the car the transmission was shot, I rebuilt the 700r4 transmission in my automatic transmissions class. I increased the number of clutches, used raybestos frictions, upgraded the input drum to a 30 spline, installed new felpro bushings, and all felpro gaskets, overhauled/clean valve body, etc… trans is to spec. The one mistake I made when I rebuilt the transmission is I used a used holding clutch, much to my surprise when I reinstalled the transmission and drove the car home it flared a little in the 1-2 shift. The car was driven for 15 miles this way and parked. I also installed a new b&m torque master 2400 stall converter. The car was also puffing a light cloud of blue smoke when I bought it, I had hoped this was from dry valve seals. I currently have the heads off the car and I have one rebuilt. They should be back on this weekend and it should be running. The cylinders do not have a ridge so I hope this addresses the problem. The car is not extremely rusty, someone has welded the floor pans and rears. There are two spots in the rear that come through that need addressed, not a huge project. The rear end is from a 95 z28 and is a posi with 3.73 gears. There is a b&m mega ratcheting shifter in the console. The shifter is not currently hooked up as the cable needs rerouted, the shifter worked when I pulled the original trans but I haven’t been able to route the cable so it does not bind. I do not remember how it was originally. The car has iroc rims and springs. One front rim needs replaced as the lip broke. There are new z rated Kumho 711 245/50/16 tires on the car. The interior has new front carpet and 5” autometer speedometer and 5” autometer tach mounted in dash. I have a few parts for the car, spare ground effects, hatch, door, rear carpet, new headliner. Windshield is broke in one spot and rust hole on front a pillar near it.

I trailered the car from lockport originally when I bought because the trans was shot. I am in Ottawa about an hour or so away. It will run if I have time to get the heads on. I will try to get pics of the holes, they are located in the rear wheel wells, spare tire area, storage area. The old rear carpet was removed, I assume for this reason. I have some used rear carpet but it is not in the car.

Its been patched underneath, the rust isn't horrible. The heads are not back on, I wouldn't have pulled them had I known I wouldn't have time to put them back on. I will try to get more pics this weekend.
