Not a thirdgen, but please help

I know it's not a V6, and not a thirdgen, but I have a chance to get a 95 Camaro w/ the 350 and 5 speed for $2500, although this means selling my thirdgen. Does anyone know the stock HP and 1/4 times for this car?

well if it's a 95 350 it has to be a 6 speed. 5 spds, wouldn't stand up to a 350, supposedly. and for 2500 bucks, what's wrong with it. a guy i know sold his 94 maro that had a 3.4L v6, and a 5 spd. not to mention, low miles, and he was the original owner, and got 6500 for it, and that's cause he needed to sell it quick. I'd say, have it checked out by a good mechanic first, and make sure it's a 350. If it's a v6, then it could have the 5 spd, but still. My cars supposedly worth soemthing like 3900 bucks, but i could easily sell it for 5k, (one owner, new motor, etc.)or in other words, wouldn't sell it for less than that. There's gotta be something wrong with this car, seriously.

Supposedly there's NOTHING wrong with the car. My mom works for a cash-for-title place, and if you don't pay, they repo the car. Then that's where my luck comes in. If I can come up with the money to bail the car out (what they owe pluss repo fees) then it's mine. That's how I got my 92 Thirdgen for 750.

Nothing like vulturing your way up the food chain...

I'd personally say don't buy a car that comes to you from someone else's great loss, but I've always been pretty attached to my cars...

$1.50 worth of preachy .02.

ANY '95 Camaro that you can score for $2500 is an accident waiting to happen Don't do it...even if it is a repo, for that price there is something majorly wrong...it's either a 6 or a very messed 8.

I debated weather or not to lock this post but Reno's post reminded me, and I am sure some of you veteran members about a post on the old boards about a certain persons family getting wealthy over other persons misfourtunes and I don't want this post to end up like that.
My .02 to Ovrclck350 is; if he can have a certified mechanic check the car out.
