Hey just joined up. My name is Anthony, I'm 18 years old, about to go to college in the fall for automotive technology. I just bought my first Camaro 2 weekends ago. It's a 2001 Camaro 3.8L V6. Everyone says why didn't you just buy a V8? Problem is I wouldn't be able to afford it and I believe I got this car for a great deal with only 19k miles on it for 11g's. Plus I also have a 65 Mustang I was building and that process just kinda stopped although I still have the engine I was going to put in it. 67' 302 bored 40 over. I have some plans for this Camaro now and hope you guys can help me out even with some ideas or if I have any problems! Thanks, I'll get reading stickies and other things before I get ripped on.

Ouch some warm welcomes here I guess. Well 19k miles is better than 40k isn't it? The last recorded odometer reading was in 2005 and that was 14,000miles. So it was driven about 1,000 miles every year if you want to look at it like that. Garage kept, never smoked in and I got it up on a lift, absolutely no rust at all and the undercarriage isn't even under coated.
