So i'll add another Fbod to my current 00 Firehawk.
It's a 1997 SS... Cannot believe my luck and you would not believe what i paid for it.. Picking up tomorrow.. Will take better pics... The car has a blown head gasket...Thankfully no coolant in oil...
What do you guy's think.?

 

Other cars...

 

nice cars

 

Nice find Matt! 96-97 SS Camaros are one of my favorite cars. Rare, and can look mean with little work.

 

nice find! now what did you have to give for it???

stick?

 

Now that I have my 2003 z06, my next stable mate will def be a 97 SS. I had a 30th hardtop, houndstooth 6spd and kick myself everyday for letting it go.

Great looking car. Would love to know how much you paid and where you found it.

 

Be a really cool car to build, good luck.

 

Thanks Patrick... You know i'll transform it! Just have to get it running first.. LOL

 

A4... $2500 cash...
Loaded, leather,chrome ZR1's, t-tops, new Nitto 555's, powder coated calipers, drilled,slotted rotors, some type of aftermarket TV flippin stereo w amp, sub ( cubby hole). SS floor mats, SS deck mat, all brochure's, Even a Camaro SS ink pen.. 104K mi according to Carfax. Not bad for an almost 15 y/o car.. Will get better pics when i get it home.

Thanks for the kind words..

 

Definitely the one that got away...

 

Congrats! Thats a good looking SS!

 

Nice find, how's your son liking those slingshots btw?

 

He'll of a dealon a rare car- love it

 

So jealous, thats incredible. I absolutely love the car, but im partial too white Camaros.

 

Nice SS...


I just did head gaskets on a 94 LT1 car this week. Drop the motor, it makes it a lot easier. LOL

 

Which son? My eldest is in the Navy.... My middle son is 13...?
"Slingshots"..?? Sorry, it's early and i have only had one cup of coffee...? Refresh my memory?

 

You know Chad, i am contemplating what to do... Replace w a drop out LT1 perhaps out of a 92-96 Vette (C4) w lower miles? While it's out do the Hot Cam, Headers? Or simply re do the exisitng heads, clean em up, throw in new lifters, timing chain,opti, water pump,plugs,wires. This car has 110K on it... It was running and driving 3 weeks ago. I will most likely be doing the work from my garage on jack stands... I am very familiar with the LT1 cars as i have owned both a 93,95...Z28... I know how difficult they can be to work on. I may have the car sit until spring while i gather parts...

I am open to you guys' suggestions though. Not looking to make this the fastest Fbody on the street, as i will most likely build it for my 13 y/o son. Oh, i have my Z06 built for Speed!! The Firehawk gets driven every now and again.

I will eventually throw a Stall into the SS... Hell, i may keep it for myself and find my son a 3rd gen... I would appreciate input from you guys.

Thanks again for the kind words. More pics to follow once i get it home and get her cleaned up.

 

Nike slingshot golf clubs.

 

Very nice find

 

Sorry... lol... YES, he loves them! We have played a few rounds with them.
