87 help

Looking at an 87 camaro, its got a 350 out of a 89 pickup. body is real nice, just a small bit of rust on the drivers side quarter panel. the head gasket is blown, engine still runs fine. Got a 700r4. The gauges need replacing and so do the door panels or at least the drivers side. got about 103k on the body and 30k on the motor. Whats this really worth?

Re: 87 help

Is that the air cleaner poking out through a hole in the hood? I wonder what other neat tricks(read as back yard BS) have been done to the car.

Re: 87 help

It's an aftermarket hood scoop, one of those stupid glue on things. any guess on a price. bodys pretty good little bit of rust on rear quarter and drivers rocker. needs drivers door panel and head gasket is blown. it is a 350 checked the id numbers. motors got 30k. Im guessing about 1500-2000? oh ttops that dont leak

Re: 87 help

I wonder why an engine with only 30K has a blown head gasket? I would stay on the low side price wise. You may get a suprise when you go to replace the head gasket.
