Nice Buy! Not to high jack, but what size of tires are you running on the rear of your Camaro? Are the wheels OEM Z06 wheels?

Get a real paint job for $600, worth it IMO..

I'll give you $3,000 for it if it's not ragged out, you can keep the hood. PM me if you wanna work something out or counter offer, I need a daily.

It's crazy how cheap these cars are getting.
