Sad day for this LT1.
@ZFreie: Not sure, not my car (thank God). Mine is on high ground in a garage with a car cover on it. (yes that's the truth).
@SS RRR: I wasn't there, I am stationed in Germany, I'll be back in a month. From what I heard, 4in of rain in 1 hour.
This picture was from a friend whose neighbor owns the car. I feel bad for them. LT1's are given hell by us LS1 guys, but they are being lost daily, and I find that sad for those who will be looking for these 20 years from now.

Here's the difference. That body style was out for three years. The 2nd generation isn't worth ****. The third generation isn't worth ****. The fourth generation will be the same way. Far too many of them around for them to be valuable.

and with that collective mindset the value will increase. there is a guy in my area thinning out the herd by parting out and then scrapping as many 3rd and 4th gen (particularly LT1) fbodys he can get his hands on.
He has his work cut out for him. The 2nd through 4th generation cars were in production for around a decade a piece.
2nd gen isnt worth **** ? look up what 2nd gen TA s are going for rusted out cars are going for 2,000 with no engine or tranny . 3rd gens will start to go up next decade then the 4th . Its hard as hell even drive around and see a well taken care of 3rd gen on the road .

Time will tell what people will be interested in, remember no one wanted a Nova when it came out. We shall see. Remember the cash for clunkers bit? They really did scrap a lot of good parts and cars, and most of them were 1990-2000 cars. So we will see what will be the market 20 years from now. But for me and my '01 Camaro, it'll always be my dream car.
I've seen cars in deeper water (OK, not that much deeper) get brought back to life. All fluids, new carpets, tons of WD40, etc and it can be saved.
LS 4th gens will be worth more and for a longer time. Many consider the LT cars worthless. Any 4th gens worth any money in the future will be a LS car.

I have driven my 93 through deep water, was bad enough where I could no longer stop but it made it through. Ended up having to wait 6+ hours in the ghetto before the water went down. Smoked a little for a few minutes but was fine.

Really a lt4 camaro in 97 will be worthless ? find that hard to believe what about the grand sport vette worthless also ? that what everyone said that had a second gen . My first car was a 79 camaro could wait to get rid of it because ? it was Worthless now wish i never did fixed up would bring a shinny worthless penny
Exactly, and this is about Camaros. Not Firebirds. Besides, the 3rd and 4th gen. shared basically everything except engine and body panels. Sure, you may find some retard that has more money than brains and wants a clean 4th gen, but they are few and far between.
