Well, its been long, hard thinking, but no more plans for this car. No 350 swap
No 91-92 gfx swap
No 5" spoiler
No SS hood

Im selling it It might not be the nicest third gen around, or the fastest (LOL its a 2.8) but It is my first Car, so its kinda hard to let go.

But there is some good news. I located an 1985 Camaro 350 (says its in good condition) that Im gonna check out in the next few days. I wouldnt even think of not buying another thirdgen though. But the only reason is, Im in my last year of highschool, and I need a job, so I cant take the time off to do everything I wanted to, plus all the work involved in the engine swap is what scared me.

The camaro im looking at is only 2500, and I have a potential buyer for mine for 3200....So Im coming out on top So Here is probably the last pictures of her....they are a few months old, cause shes sitting in 2 feet of snow right now

 

why is everyone selling there cars?

 

Ya, I see a trend here.

 

Aw, DAMMIT, that sucks. I've been trying to sell my 87 for MONTHS, and I only want 2500? wtf?

hey you have to show me the new one though.

..And I'm in last yr of high school too.. Cool!

 

I'll jump on the bandwagon! My car is for sale... Not.

Are you sure that '85 has a 350? L98 came out in '87 so watch out.

 

The main reason Im selling mine is beacause these cars are getting so damn expensive. Like my v6 auto....first offer was 3200....theres a v6 auto t tops for sale for 6000 in calgary! So Im thinking I gotta get one fast.

Second reason is Im tired of the sllloowwwnessss. People see my hood pins and come up to me and ask "Doood what you got under the hood" I go all red....smile...and say...."nothing" I hate that lol

And 305q_ta86 at least you have 2 of them lol.

When I go look at that 85 I will try to snap some pics

 

The add says "freshly built 350" but how can I tell for sure? I dont want the five-slow

 

sorry bout sellin your car man like 82 mentioned.. Becareful about this 85 Camaro with a 350... 350 came out in 87 *stock* So make sure its a swap, or get the vin and decode it

 

Im glad you guys mentioned this, Im gonna bring that up when I talk to the guy


Nick418 - your pm box is full.....but yeah I dont have AOL but if you got msn my thingy is bionicle911@hotmail.com

 

I almost sold mine a few times in HS... but since I got out June '04, its only been looking up for the Camaro. I'm so glad I didn't sell it now.

 

Yeah but just to much money and time to do the motor swap......noticed your also from canada haha

 

Yikes, why would you want to put a SS hood and 5 inch spoiler on a slow v6 car... especially a 2.8?

As for the engine, have the guy get the numbers off the block, and look it up.

 

also with a 350 swap that i was planning.....but thats all ditched now.........and where do i go about looking this number up??

 

Call whoever it is that's selling this car and tell him to get the numbers off of the block. Since this has to be a swap, he should probably be knowledgable enough to be able to find them for you.

That's one site I found by searching 'chevy engine code' on google.

 

awsome thnx alot man, Im gonna call him tommrow and maybe go check it out.

 

What kind of intake does it have?

 

out of curiosity, what are you doing with pins on a stock hood?

 

I think 85 IROC-Z could have a 350 TPI no?!

 

No.

hey man i understand where your coming from- my 92 RS 3.1 is a dog- i mean it looks good with the Z high rise spoiler, the Z grill, the 4th gen seats and what not- but it had no power i was tired of getting stomped on- i have a 383 for it ive been building for a while- but there was no time to take it off the road while im in school- thats when i passed the grand national for sale, begged- borrowed- and stole to get it, and now i can do whatever i want to the camaro- mine just had too much sentimental value with all the memeories in it to get rid of it.

 

I hear ya 83_Camaro. Even though this isn't my first car, or my first Camaro. My car was for sale, b/c I was tryin to catch up on some stuff. But now, the car will be paid for with my tax returns in a month, so there is no point now. Instead, I'm gonna fix everything that I wanted to. New valve springs are needed, bigger injectors, badly needed computer work, new tranny w/stall, etc. Good luck with finding a new thirdgen bro. Always be wary of people trying to sell you something that doesn't seem quite right. Just remember to come here and ask any questions.

 

i almost sold my car over the summer...thank the lord i didnt.


i almost sold it to buy a truck...a ford truck...

 

Im calling him today I will let ya know

Cause i love the look of them......Im deceptive

- AJT86 I know what you mean by memories, but cars come and cars go, as long as I get another third gen I should be happy. Even though Im still sad to let it go

- BadBowtie88 i wish i got tax returns....lol....but yeah these boards have helped me out ALOT, and before I do anything I usually ask on here

megaracerx ....you saif the F word....why would you even THINK of a ford.....**shakes finger**


The thing is, the last time I tried to sell it, well my parents tried cause it was leaking oil (still kinda is shhhh) whenever someone would call I would say Oh its not for sale, and my parents wondered why it never sold but now its my decision

 

well, atleast i saw the error in my ways...and would never drive a f*** truck....maybe a foxbody stang...but even thats a stretch

 

i dont like you

lol jk:lala:

 

cant we all just get along?


its not like i said i was buying a honda or somthing...

 

no we cant get along....

 

Since when are these cars getting expensive?

Just in look on ebay or in autotrader, these cars are still cheap as hell. GM made over a million thirdgen f-bodys, it will be a long time before these cars start getting valuable (with they exception of some certain models)

 

Think again man, when a V6 auto berlinetta is going for 3200, and the buyer says its a good price... you know they are going up. If you goto www.nada.com you can see its value and ive watched and its been getting higher. So I have to get the car I want soon. Heres another example, In the summer there was 2 white convertibles for sale. One was 12000 the other was 10000. Thats not cheap

 

***Update***

i called about that 85 camaro, and well, its not a Z, or an Iroc, had to make the call short so this is what I got from him

- Rebuilt 350 put in by him and his friend
- Mags
- Auto tranny
- Body is good

I of course forgot to ask the color and intake.....but I might go check it out durring the week.

 

***ANOTHER UPDATE***

Kay so I called back, and well, its blue, with silver racing stripes, and the body/paint is in really good condition. It used to be a V6, but him and his friend converted it to the 350. Its carburated.

So Im going after school tommorow to check it out, If I remeber I will bring the camera and let you guys see some pictures of it

The only problem I have with it, no ground effects But at this price and the money Im making off mine, I think I can afford to goto the junkyard and pick some up.

 

sounds like you found youself a gem...if he did everything right..lol..

also, i say keep the GFX off...gives it more of a muscle look.

 

and mine doesnt have a muscle look?

 

yours is just on steroids or something

 

nope, and neither does mine...oh, wait mine is an LG4....never mind.. it cant have a muscle anything...

 

scuse me for my dumbness....but whats an lg4...and all the other engine numbers that everyone keeps saying...im always left out...people are like man my lg4 blah blach my l82 blah blah....then i join in and im like....well...my...abc123 is good too, just cause i dont get it

 

Lg4 is the one of the carbed 305's and i'm not really sure about other codes...cept l98 is the 350..

 

350 TUNED PORT INJECTION = L98

 

so whats a 1991 Z28 then? If it isnt MODERN MUSCLE.. what is it?

 

i was just joking...well all know the L98 = :hail: x 10

 

ladies ladies, we all know that the LC1 (V6) 2.8 owns all

 

I'll take Ford as my very close 2nd pick to favorite kind of car.

Hey, its better than Honda.

 

Kay well Im sorta excited for tommorow, cause it sounds like a really nice car. Since the guy that wants to buy mine doesnt want it till march, I might have to borrow some money from my dad:shrug: But if all goes well maybe he will like it too

 

keep me informed. Heck I might even be able to go check it out seperately and not say that I know you, and then try to talk him down and then tell him i'm not interested and leave lol.

 

1. make sure it hasnt been trashed

2. good luck finding GFX around here..

 

Yeah Im gonna check the car inside out, look for rust, check undercarraige, bring a magnet to look for bondo. I know all the tricks lol

and man, ive been to pick your part (called pick and pull now ???) sooooo many times and have only found the older ground effects, Im just hoping one day I will find what im looking for

 

Psh good luck. That place sucks. I mean, i have spent countless hours there, but it PALES in camparison to what the Americans here call even a 'mediocre' (sp?) yard. Every car is 85 or older, so no new gfx. and I have been looking for one part to my front left one that tore for months, nothing. I often have better luck with Buck's, which is located just off deerfoot, IIRC, and they often have a few thirdgens, but still nothing special..

 

yeah its hard to find our stuff....but i gota perfect dsah from pick your part, and a few other things.....but I have never seen the gfx Im looking for, but i have seen an 89 TA which has been the newest third gen i have ever seen there, in fact, thats where i got my steering column out of

 

Really? an 89? Jesus.. how long ago? I may have to go down there and like buy the whole freaking car..

 

oh sheesh, this was when it was still called pick your part, it was there for a while, I have to head out there sometime this week whenever its nice, I gotta make sure I dont miss those gfx i want

minus the steering column cause its mine
