Default my $2,500 camaro - New Pictures

I just picked up this 98 camaro Z28 for $2500 today. it has a 6spd, t-tops, warbird hood, nitrous, walbro 340, slp air box, jet hot long tubes with dual exhaust, centerforce dual friction, pro 5.0, Z06 wheels with brand new BFG comp ta tires, it comes with a SS spoiler, it has been lowered 1" and has 82,000 miles. the car has never been in an accident and the body is in pretty good shape. The car only runs for a few seconds then looses fuel pressure and dies, hopefully it is going to be an easy fix.


I am getting rid of the hood and getting a SS hood, so if anyone wants this hood or has an ss hood let me know.

anyway, here she is. What do you guys think of this deal?

A '98 Z28 with 82k on it for $2500? Holy ****. You can sell all the parts on it for $2500.

I can't see any pictures either, but just from the sound if it that sounds like an amazing deal. Almost makes me think that there HAS to be something wrong with it lol.

I think the pics are fixed now.

the guy who sold it to me seemed like a pretty wealthy guy and just didn't want to deal with the fuel problem. the car was on the market for an entire 7 minutes before I bought it, so you all had your chance.

WOW, thats how much I bought my 130k mile camry for. Even if its not a simple fix you could still EASILY part it out for way more than $2500.

even if the car needs an entirely new motor and paint job, you still stole it. sell that hood though.

I guess I missed the part about the fuel problem.

I had a very similar problem with my Blazer and it turned out to be a fuel pump. Change that out (and the filter while your at it) and see how it runs.

Unless he messed something else up when he was messing with the fuel system.

THANK you! That car looks absolutely silly like that...

And that's a steal...assuming a lot wasn't messed up and the owner wanted to pass it off quick...

Awesome deal man. Even if you have to replace the entire fuel system, you stole that car. You can mod the hell out of it and have about the same amount in it that most guys have in their stock ls1s. Great find!!

So the car looks good, the interior is fine, and even has chrome z06 wheels as well for $2500? Cars that have salvage titles are still need to be repaired go for more then that
