I'm back in an Fbody
 
Well,

Found a steal this past week.

2001 SS Camaro
88,xxx miles
Black
6 Speed

The starter broke, and broke a tab on the engine. I'll be pulling it and getting it welded. Deciding on picking up an ls2 and slapping a set of heads and a cam in there while it's out and selling the stock motor.

Either way, the car hasn't started, the transmission, clutch, and rear are uncertainties but for the price I got her it's worth the chance.

She sat for over a year. Car was very dirty, but it cleaned up very nicely.

Looking forward to getting this mod bug back and behind the wheel :)

If anyone has some nice donations of leftover parts :) I'll take anything you want to get rid of :) :drive::drive::drive::drive:

$1800 for the car

Couldn't be happier so far. Needs some love, but nothing too major

$1800 is a good deal, even if it ends up being in roller condition..

z28C4maro82z Oct 21, 2013 07:39 PM

Absolutely and thanks! I figure if the motor and Trans is shot the car in this condition with these miles is still a 3k roller. It's in solid condition after I cleaned her up. I've got some time to figure out the plans :)

1800 is a great price for a complete car...you will be smoking the tires soon

Damn, I'd love to have found something like this. Congrats! With a price that low I could've done a ton!

motoo344 Oct 22, 2013 07:37 PM

Damn, why do I never find a deal like this.

Ping King Oct 22, 2013 07:43 PM

how much do you want for the shortblock unwelded?

z28C4maro82z Oct 22, 2013 09:21 PM

Not sure it's for sale just yet ping king. If I were to sell it then it would be a whole long block too. Been thinking more along the lines of ls2 though.

Thanks again guys! Hope to be smokin them soon!

Nice pickup for under 2 g's!

4th gens are still so much fun.

CJDZ24_Z28 Oct 23, 2013 08:03 AM

LOL and you thought i was bad! Nice dude and great find! I knew you wouldn't stay out of the game to long. These cars a cheap crack! I would love to add another to my collection as well!

z28C4maro82z Oct 24, 2013 07:03 AM

Yeah man! I'm so excited to
Get tearing into her. I should just keep one for a long time already and stop the tossing turning in the night game!

z28C4maro82z Oct 24, 2013 07:03 AM

I also wouldn't say cheap crack. Before you know it your FI 10 second fbody just cost you 10-15k. But definitely so much fun

8ty8 LS1 Oct 24, 2013 07:53 AM

yay chris!!! ya know, if that trans is shot...you could always donate it to the s-10/ls7 fund ;)
