Honestly I don't think it would be worth it to fix it. If you wanted another car, you would probable be better off finding a clean roller and swapping everything over. Or just taking the parts you want and parting the rest off and making some $ off it.

My old '99 Camaro had cloth seats and my "DREAM" was to have leather interior. I now have leather interior on the SS and can not be happier.

Btw, is it a SS or Z28? Cause I see a Z28, not a SS.

Yes, it's a Z28. It wasn't a SS like he claimed, but no big deal.

Did you actually get the title in hand also?!?
Easy "part-out" as an "income generator"!

Just curious if the cops show up at your door because he reports it stolen, ..., & you don't have the signed title or 'bill of sale' in hand.

You could probably put it in your garage and wait for a nice roller to come along and swap everything out into the other car and then part out what's left. That way you get two working F-Bodies and one that can be used for spare parts, or a little bit of extra income. Just my .02

No not a big deal at all. You bumped into one hell of a parts car lottery IMO.

True! If I get lucky again maybe I'll find a nice SOM SS or WS6 roller.

I'm just going to say, it's probably more likely that you'll find a nice roller for cheap vs finding a deal like you just did, haha! It always seems like nice rollers pop up once every other week or so.

No insurance coverage. I was wondering. That was definitely the situation he was in. OUCH!! Thanks for sharing this incredible find. That engine is worth how much with so little miles?? Wow!!

Default Prices?

Ok, I wanted to get a ball park price on most of these parts so I need input from you guys. I'm not going to sell these things crazy cheap, but I'll give some fair average prices.

T-tops-?
Weather stripping-?
A4 transmission-?
10 bolt-?
Interior main carpet-?
Doors-?
Rear hatch-?
Rear bumper-?
Stock manifolds/Y-pipe-?

etc. etc.
