Unknown engine problem?
I am looking to buy a camaro that does not run. The original owner died and his son does not know what its wrong and just wants it gone. When I looked at the engine the valve cover was off of the passenger side and the first three rocker arms where removed. Why do you think the owner would have done this? The cars is a great deal I just dont want to buy somthing with a blown motor.

Just put the 3 rockers back on the car, and like s10xgn said,, turn the car over,I would use a hot battery and the ignition,, If it does not try to turn over,, then turn it by hand,, if it dont move at all expect a full rebuild$$$$ if it does turn,, You still may be in it for $$$. You wont know until You dig into it.

Better question is where is the car, if you dont want to fix it let me know I may be interested in it regardless of the engine issues.

Would this be the same Z28 you're looking at out in Dover?
