I found an F-body at a low price Craigslist a few months ago I decided to jump on it. Well there were issues w/ the title transfer and I was beginning to think that it was never gonna happen. However the car is officially mine and sitting in my driveway as of a few hours ago. I ended up paying $4200 for it!!!!

It's a 2000 SS w/ 106k miles. Has a 6-speed tranny w/ what feels like an upgraded clutch. The interior is a little rough, it's missing a radio and the 2 center air vents. The center of the shift **** has a hole drilled in the middle that makes me thinkg maybe nitrous was on the car. Oh that and the nitrous lines running into the hatch haha. A big downside to the car is that the owner before the owner I bought it from pretty much stripped it almost beyond recognizable as an SS. He removed the hood, spoiler, and wheels. Only thing he left was the SS badges .

In fact, he even removed the engine!!! I brought a few friends to go look at the car with me and one of them noticed that there was rust on the block and 706 heads under the hood.

I've always wanted a 6-speed turbo'd Iron block f-body and I finally had the perfect platform!!! I'm almost positive that it's going to end up being a 5.3L block, but I'm still holding out hope that it could be a 6.0L

I will get pictures up this weekend, but here is a picture of the car in the previous owners driveway:

 

What color is that? Wonder if its been in an accident, since the hood is gone???

Still 4200 ain't bad.. Should have came on here, and asked if anyone knows were a cheaper one is... lol

 

Clean title. Of course can't know if it had been in an accident and not reported. The owner who had it before the previous owner got it repo'd. I'm guessing he knew it was going to be taken anytime and decided to make a few bucks my selling all the worthwhile parts.

And I wish I would have seen something on here that might have been cheaper.....what did I miss?!?!?!?

 

Oh and it's silver

 

No I know were a 98 is, A4 with about the same miles for 2500... Needs some work. but over all its a decent z28...

Nice looking color, get some close ups of it.

 

You sure its actually a SS? Easyer to swap the badges then all that other stuff...

 

Go take a picture of the Build sticker. On the drivers door

 

BTW, when you enter the VIN, all Z28's show up as Z28/SSs

 

yea i kinda with the badge swap idea because if i was going to do a about to be repo'd parts sale/swap what are the chances of a silver z28 showing to do the swap and i see no hints of a different shade of paint at all my .02 4200 still a smoking deal ss or not

 

A buddy of mine called SLP with the vin when I first went to look at it months ago. It's an SS and build # is 7-hundred something. You can tell they did a hack job of getting an Z28 hood and spoiler and giving it a quick maaco paint job to match. The underside of the hood was barely sprayed and you can see it was originally a red hood.

 

I called and the door panel shows a SLP Option sticker.. its a SS

 

So, on the door sticker it has WU8 option code?

Not that it really matters, the only things that make the car an SS in 2000, were the things that are gone...Except the catback. In 2000, the SS option only added Wheels/Spoiler/hood/exhaust. Unless it has the Y2Y code then it may have some of the SLP options.

Update: It's a 5.3L

 

Did he tell you he was going to do this before you bought it? or did he do it before you even came to look at it the first time?

 

How does it run? Looks pretty clean.

 

The guy I bought it from bought it from an auction and it had already been stripped. And it's currently not running. Currently in my garage ripped apart. Trying to get a new oil pump in it. PAIN IN THE.....ya!

 

If you need a nice set of ZR1/SS wheels for sale. 17X9.5" and 17X11"
