My friends grandpa has a 1998 camaro z/28 6 speed with under 150k miles. Problem is he couldn't sell it so he parked it in his backyard 2 years ago. Since then some rats have eaten the engine's wiring harness and it doesn't start. I could probably buy it from him for $500. What do you guys think about it?

You could easily part it out & make money for $500.
I would say jump on it.

thats a steal of a deal. Just the parts alone out of the car could net you a few grand as long as they are in good shape if you decided to part it out. The t56 trannys in good working order sell for about 1200. I would buy the car and see about either fixing the wiring or just getting a used harness for around 200 bucks and see what happens if it runs then I would drive the piss out of her lol. 150K is a bit of mileage but ls1's do go a long tie after that

Upgrade from a Toyota to a Z/28 for $500? Sounds like a good move.

Wait....are we being punked? Wheres Ashton?
Dude even if you knew nothing about cars it would be worth $500 to buy and screw around with unless the engine is knocking, trans is grinding and the rear end is blown up along with severe rust issues lol.
