I paid $3800 two years ago, 82k miles my car came with cam and full boltons. Transmission went out, put a stall converter in it at the same time, along with the a/c went out and oil pan leak due to incompetent owner doing timing cover install, it is a great car.

When did you buy it? Here recently with the economy everything is cheaper... Even still if you look hard enough the deals are out the.
I bought my immaculate 95Z28 fully loaded, 64,000 miles, ttops, 1 owner (which was a little lady that probably couldnt reach to floor it all the way if she wanted to) and also she had every service record on the car from day one, and everything was done at the dealership. Hell she even took it to the dealership to get it washed! 6500 bucks! And this was almost 5 years ago! Just keep lookin buddy!

Its a black 97 in excellent shape with a 6 speed, t-tops, leather, and it had 3 owners that I know of, but they all sound like people that took care of it. First one was a car guy, second and for the longest time was an old lady, third was was another car guy that just drove it once a week.
