The car:
1986 Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe original 2.8L v6 700r4 auto car. Manual windows, locks, everything manual. Hard top. This car had a bad transmission and was parked at approximately 130k miles.

-No major rust anywhere on this car. Floors are solid and every where is clean.
-Body is laser straight, has a little bit of body filler in the driver door
- factory finish (originally blue) was completely stripped to bare metal sanded, body filler applied in a few dimples and the door, and sprayed with real epoxy DTM. Then a coat of gloss urethane black was applied for a guide coat. It was then wet sanded with 320, 500, 800 grit sandpaper to get all of the dimples and imperfections out. It was then sprayed with a flat black epoxy sealer. I left it in flat because I liked the look. Its ready for a quick scuff and spray in the color of your choosing. the finish is faded and starting to look bad in my opinion and should be painted in the next few months.

-This transmission will easily hold 600+ hp. Its shifts quickly but doesn't snap your neck or bark tires at part throttle, very streetable. At full throttle it shifts firm and fast. No slipping period, at WOT a 2-3 shift it will bark the tires at 65mph.
-Shifter is a Hurst V-matic dual gate. has reverse lockout, and can be shifted in typical D-2-1 fashion or put into ratchet mode and up and down shifted by tapping forward and back respectively. the shifter is installed to fit under the factory console.

Rear differential:

-3.42 gears
later 28 spline axles from a 92 f body
-28 spline zexel torsen torque sensing limited slip (posi traction for some) from a 4th Gen F-body. this is arguably the best lsd gm put in an f body. Works like a charm.
-boxxed trailing and panhard bars

Misc:
-factory RS 15" wheels with brand new 235-50-15 Falkien tires - good reconditioned oe brakes
-all new fluids everywhere

Final thoughts:
This car is 98.5% finished. It needs paint, an alignment, and the tires balanced. Everything else is just wants. It doesn't need anything else. It's fun, fast, and cool as hell. Its taken me at least 300 hrs to get it to this point. There was a huge amount of fabrication involved as well as problem solving. That's all been done. All the kinks have been worked out. Its ready to drive. Drive it home even! Its a great starting point to go even further with suspension mods, brakes, paint, engine bolt ons, etc. the skys the limit. There is a ton of options available. Its a great way to get riding this summer and turn some heads in the process.

You can't build one for less and you cant buy one just anywhere. Make me an offer and I'll probably make you a counter offer. Not really interested in trades, maybe a vette or a 67-72 c10 Short bed.

The car is currently insured. I can take you up the road in it, but my insurance doesn't cover anyone to drive it but me since its an collector car policy and I'm not willing to take that risk. Otherwise 'm pretty easy to get along with
