Help from the experts?
I'm looking at an 85 Camaro that a guy has who lives near me. He wants 2700.00 (canadian dollars) for it. The car has t-tops, overdrive, a bitchin' stereo, the original 305, a 3.08 posi, nice interior, air conditioning, etc, etc. The car has 191000 kilometers on it. I was wondering if this car is a good buy. There is a dent in the driver's side front fender, the door pins are bent, and it needs weather stripping all around. It also needs a parking brake cable, and some other minor things that are not necessary to get the car saftied in Ontario. Thanks in advance for all your help.

That's what.... about $175 US?
Seriously, that's not too bad of a price. It sounds like an OK car.

Sounds like a great price. Buy it and fix 1 thing a month and in a few months it should be sweet.

Hey guys - I appreciate all the help.
Only thing that im disappointed with in the F-Bodies is the room to put my guitar. LOL The (1980 2dr) malibu i previously owned (with frame cancer - cant get 'er saftied anymore) had LOTSA trunk space. I'll give it up for the sweeter lookin camaro.
I'll be lookin into the car some more soon - and i'll keep you posted. Plans include a moderate 350, and a stiffer gear in the rear end. Take care

News is in - and it's not good. The frame is busted on the camaro i was lookin at 
There is a really shoddy weld on it too - some moron welded a piece of angle-iron onto the frame. From the looks of it - the car was t-boned.
Anyone got a 3rdgen with a/c and overdrive for sale? v8?
