Not bad at all.

The headlights could use a good wet sanding and buffing. Cleaning those up when you re-do the front clip will really freshen up the front end. My 96k mile Camaro looks like a 36k mile car since doing that.

Headlight reconditioning is definitely on the list. I just called and put the fenders and bumper cover in will call, picking them up tomorrow at lunch.

Nice! Those fixes are nothing for what you paid for the car. Congrats.

Great deal, but kind of depressing seeing how little these cars are worth. Not counting SS's and WS6's of course.

I don't have the budget or desire to break under 11's and I had an M6 car in my other Camaro that cost me several ring gears so I was actually looking for an automatic. Plus, I'm old now and would rather hold hands with the Wife while cruising than be banging gears.

Besides, aren't all REAL racecars automatics?

I don't know, I wouldn't look at what I paid as an indication of what they are worth. Locally the market is full of them for way more and they sell all day long.

Nice to see you changed over. Now FBody.com is but a memory.... lol. When I got mine I tend to just stick around here exclusivly.

As for the car, yeah, you basically stole it.

Some guys would rather grab a stick and yank it around. But I'm with you, I'd rather grab my wife with that hand.

Agreed. Or he could just put in new ones.

That's an awesome price. He can put 10k in add-ons and still be under 15k.
