Default Need advise on possible trade...

I used to have a '94 Z28. I loved that car, had it for about 6 years. Had Kooks LT and it had an awesome sound to it. It was my third car so I sold it so that I could pay for Lasik (which I don't regret). I have been wanting to get back into an F-body, so I have been searching on hear and Craigslist.

My trade: 2003 Honda Civic LX
145,000 miles
original owner
pw, pl, cruise, am/fm cd player (stock system), automatic, 1.7L I4 non-vetc

Mechanically-engine runs great, no smoke, trans shifts smoothly, a/c works, rides nice, tires are about 1 year old (BF Goodrich), all power options work, still gets 31-33mpg hwy

Cosmetically: Exterior-needs painted, its faded pretty bad on hood, roof, and trunk, has small dents and a softball sized one on the passenger quarter panel
Interior-carpet has some stains, rear sears are faded from sun, chrome door handles are pealing, sun visor mirror fell off, no rips in seats

This is my daily driver. I mostly drive it too and from work. If I go anywhere, it is usually with kids and we take the wife's car. I just want something else, so I have been thinking about trading my civic for a Camaro or Firebird.

Other guys trade: 1996 Firebird Formula
125,000 miles
pw, pl, t-tops
SIX SPEED!!! (this is the big seller, as I have always wanted a six speed)
Corvette rims with good tires
Borla exhaust
he says that the interior needs work, leather with rips in driver and rear seats
good clutch

He has a craigslist ad with only two pics, I got him to email me some more, just exterior pics. Here is the ad-http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/4032896048.html

I was just trying to get opinions if this is a good deal. I obviously need to see the car in person, the only down side is that he is located in Gainsville and I am in Orlando. So if anyone near him has some free time and can check it out, I would really appreciate it. I know I am going from my cheap economical car to the Formula, but I know these LT1s pretty well. I miss my old Z28, had a lot of fun in it. The Civic is just plain boring (I even took off the muffler, desparetelly hoping that it would sound kind of cool, and it just sounds awful, so I got to put that back on...HAHA)

if someone is willing to trade their f-body for a civic, you better do it before they change their minds
