one of my best friends has to get rid of his car or its going to the crusher its an 86 camaro with a 2.8 700r4 3.42 the body and interior arnt in the best of shape but the engine runs great does any one want any parts from the car or the entire thing for that matter ?

 

any pics? My 86 needs a bunch of stuff

 

 

where in NJ is the car located? I may need to take a ride up there for a closer look. Those doors look nice and straight...the tires may be better than my bald radials...what about the entire car? I got a few yards down here that can take it... (wife might kill me but oh well)

 

the car is located at 2062 crestwood drive forked river nj 08731 the tires arnt bald the drivers side door is in great shape the passenger side door has rust its repairable but it has rust. as far as the car goes 99% of people would junk it but personaly i think it can be saved sense iv owned worse. you can put your hand thru both quarter panels the passenger door and passenger fender need rust repair and the drivers floor pan will also need work. here are acouple close up pictures

for as bad as the body looks to some it runs great it runs better then my 87 camaro

 

Thanks for the additional pics

Although I've done some rust repair in the past, it has mostly been surface stuff. until I learn to weld, panel replacement is beyond my skills.

I'm basically looking for a donor car. my 86 is a v6 with T-tops that I hope to get running and tagged one day. but being a trooper and having a family, I tend to farm out alot of work I used to do in the past due to time constraints.

My 86 has been suffering from a crank/no start problem. Figured if I had a running car I could replace what's bad on mine, and after that send the remains to a resting place.

Looking at the car, it could be saved. but I've become a bit less sentimental over the years. The amount of bodywork needed for that model is not a financially wise decision IMO.

However, if your friend is not opposed to its "spirit" living on in other third gens, let me know what kind of $$$ he would want for it

 

I'd prob go up there and drive it back to MD. might be able to swing it this week. otherwise I'll have to wait until after thanksgiving. got a hernia operation on the 15th so I won't be driving until then

 

he wants $300 for the entire car and he has no problem with its parts being used in other cars its engine and tranny run great this car runs better then my 87 v6 camaro the car would have to be gone before the 15th

 

ok...I'll let you know soon

 

hey, i'd be interested in that front bumper/spoiler. PM me or if you have yahoo so we can talk $.

 

well, a few things came up today that will make getting the entire car impossible. First, saw the tires on my wife's car...and promptly had to plunk down $300 on four new ones. Second, a guy stopped by and was really interested in purchasing the Geo I've been fixing up in preparation of selling. That means that I'm going to have to spend the next few days thrashing to get it finished -- then work nights. Need to get this all done by the 15th. However, if your friends plans change, let me know. I'll def have the funds after the geo is sold

 

mdv6man when do you think you would be able to come up here ? i was supose to have the car gone by tommrow/monday if not sold then junked

if it would be some time this week i might be able to talk my way into keeping it where it sits a couple extra days but i dont ill be able to keep it there to much longer

 

I'm gonna have to pass...see above. However, if you need a place to park it, I got space

 

I doubt you'd want to go through the trouble, but I could use the rear transmission bracket. What condition are the exhaust manifolds in, I'd like to switch to headers, but if those manifolds are good, I could save some money for a couple years.

 

Exhaust manifolds! Aslong as they aren't cracked! thanks, KP.
