ok i joined this site beacause im looking into buying a 1987 camaro. But they guy who is selling it has no idea on what he is selling it for i havn't seen the car yet. But he told me this.... its a automatic 305 bought brand new in 87 by the guy. it has been lady driven most its life has under 100000 miles (not km). it has a fresh black paint job about 5 years ago. (not that fresh but it has just been sitting in his yard). i have no idea if its a z-28 or iroc-z...do those come with a 305? it has 2 new rear tires not to long ago. thats about all i can remember that he told me. could anybody tell me what i should offer the guy. i might be making an offer this weekend.

also is the 305 good for power and gas milage?

chevdude

atleast somebody let me know what i should offer the guy


just to add another question did these cars have cruise available for them?

Doom86

yes they have cruise control.

No one can tell you how much it is worth with out being there to see it in person.

Have you tried www.kbb.com ? That could give you a good idea what it may be worth.

Here follow the following link as it will take you to a page where you choose the body style and then it goes into more detail about the car and gives you a price range. This car would probably be in the average price range.
