This is a 2000 Z28 Camaro with 118,xxx miles, whose body is in great condition. The reason I am selling is due to a blown head gasket. I need to drive for work and with the head gasket blowing just before Christmas, finding someone to replace it in a timely manner was impossible, so I bought another car and now selling this. Aside from the head gasket, everything else is fine.
The car does have quality parts that were professionally installed:
• FLT Level 4 Transmission with Transmission Cooler
• Circle D 3800 Stall Converter
• Kook’s 1-7/8” Long Tube Headers
• Kook’s 3” Off-Road Y-Pipe
• Magnaflow Muffler
• LS6 Intake
• Under Drive Pulley
• Ported and Polished Throttle Body
• Whisper Lid
• Leather interior
• Sony EXCD CD Player with Built in DVD Player and iPod Hookup
What the car could use (other than a head gasket):
• New tires. The tires are good for a few more months but will need to be changed if you want to daily drive this like I did.
• New brakes. The brakes have about 30% of life left.
The car put down 341 rear wheel horsepower and 346 ft-pounds of torque in Bluecat’s garage. These numbers were without the 3800 Circle D converter. I only took this car to the track once in July of 2010 and after 3 passes, it ran an 8.2 ET with a 60ft of 1.8 in the 1/8th. This was in the middle of July and 110+° racing temperatures. This was the third time I had ever been to a track in my life and was still learning how to launch. I wanted to run a 7.9 but with the heat, my first semester of school about 7-weeks away, and the fear of potentially breaking something, I opted to not drag race anymore and left. Having a mode of transportation was more important to me than making a few more passes down the track to get a 7.9 with the possibility of something breaking and having to withdraw from school.
Last April, I had new plugs and O2 sensors put, along with a retune.
The car is still “technically” drivable but I’m not driving it anywhere. From what I was told by the mechanic who looked at it, there didn’t seem to be any damage to the head or anything else, just the head gasket needed to be replaced. Because of this, I can start the car up and let it idle for a minute or two if someone wants to hear it but that’s it. I don’t want to take the chance of doing further damage.
This car was my daily driver for over 5-years and the only things that needed to be replaced that I can think of were an alternator, fuel pump, O2 sensors, headlights and park lights.
With the mods and tune, I averaged 25mpg on the interstate at 80mph. Around town it’s a little less with the stall but I’ve made numerous 500 mile round trips and averaged close to or right at 25mpg. Since day 1, I have always used premium gas and synthetic blend oil.
Once fixed, this car will not only look great, but it will run very strong and be dependable. I have zero mechanical abilities and was put in a position where I had to buy something else so that I could get back and forth to work.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to post, PM, or call/text (PM me for my number).

Sorry. I saw your original response but completely forgot about it and did not see your follow up reply. The car is at my parent's house and I'm not there very often but will stop by tomorrow and take a picture of the dip stick for you.
