UPDATES!!:
Well guys i have found more things out about this car and have taken it for a test drive. Somethings im about to list have already been said but i think once i say it you will know what has been into this thing in the last two weeks. As of now it has Brand new Spec Stg. 2 Clutch set, Hurst STS Kit, Brand new MSD Opti/Plug wires and New plugs, New Powersteering pump and belt, New A/C Belt going in in nxt 2 days, New Tie rods, New Control Arms, Stock exh. manis with Flowmaster exhaust/muffler w- no cats(LOUD), K&N Intake, New Richmond 4.10's, New Moser Axles in stock 10 bolt, New Eaton Posi Unit, Lowering springs, and brand new rims and tires will be going on tomarow!!!!

The only thing unexpected about the car was its a hardtop(was told it was a t-top) but still not a big deal as i don't care, Tint fading purple(will have replaced), and camaro lettering on the windshield(hardly noticable) done by the guy who owned it before him, will be removed. The car also has tail light shades and stainless steel badging in the back bumper. Looks beautiful minor chips in paint, Clean engine bay, Clean interior with no missing pieces.

Its a great buy, motor ran strong and at half throttle i was pulled back stronger than i thought i would be. He has also dropped the price for me from $3600 to $3000 but i will need to fix synchros in tranny soon. Not a big deal as of yet and its not something thats a big deal to me. It will be done!!! As of now im gettin a loan worked out sometime soon and picken her up ASAP!!! Let me know what ya think!!!

do it. go with your gut bro, we can all say do or dont, but you are the deciding factor. we can all give opinions but the car isnt in front of me, so i cant give a definate answer... if it is how it sounds, thats about right in the ball game. i have about that in my 1996 T.A and mine was kept up GREAT

Not sure on the rims yet. They are actually going on tonight and im picking the car up from him either tomarow or friday!! Im excited as i have been waiting since age 14 to buy a camaro/t-a. As of the little things, i do plan on fixing them first, I want the tranny rebuilt so i can actually get on it through all 6 and not just in every gear but 3rd. I think after that is rebuilt im just keeping the motor how it is(140k) until next spring, and just work on getting her really clean and gettin rid of the small things like the purple tint and CAMARO lettering on the front windshield. Which i have learned is etched in so i have to buy a whole new windshield. But thnx guys and i just cant wait!! Ill get pics up as soon as shes in my garage!!
