Good donor car or rebuilding project. Major front end damage- My father bought this car in 2010 from the original owner.

We bought it as a weekend car and had Vengeance Racing install: C5 Bear brake package, Hawk HPS brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, strut tower brace, sub-frame connector kit, SLP lid, skip-shift eliminator, smooth tube bellows, UMI suspension kits front and back, UMI adjustable panhard bar, driveshaft safety loop, Eibach lowering springs, Bilstein shocks front and rear, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, 35% window tint including T-tops, Kumho ECSTA XS tires.

The wreck happened at Barber Motorsports Park (5-26-12) and was due to overheated brake fluid (learning experience on the qualities of different DOT4 fluid). I ran the car into the guardrail after the straight into turn 8. This was the first time the car had been on a track.

We had track day insurance and I bought the car back with the intentions to rebuild it. It's been 6 years and I haven't done anything except take the broken plastic parts off. I'm moving soon and have finally decided to part with it. I've had the car covered in a garage since shipping it out to Texas. I would start it and run it on jack stands every few weeks until the battery finally died beyond return about a year ago. The car was fueled with Sunoco ethanol-free race fuel the last fill up and has fuel stabilizer in it as well. I assume the fuel system is still in good shape.

I have the title in hand although it is marked as salvage. The insurance adjuster valued the damage much higher to get it totaled. No airbags were deployed. The car was rotating on impact; the front crush zones crumpled and the rear driver side quarter panel was kissed by the guardrail. The T-tops still fit fine and the doors close like normal so the structure appears to be in good shape.

The engine is a stock LS1 and a stock T-56 manual. It has never been driven in the rain and was perfect until the wreck. The interior still has a new car smell.

I move at the end of the month so I need it gone before then. I have a standing offer of $2,500 but listing it here to see if I can get more. The car is in Lewisville, TX. Buyer would need to pick it up with a trailer.

Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks, Ed

Youtube video of it starting & running after the wreck. Battery is now dead but I assume it will still start.

Hey guys the highest offer I’ve gotten so far is $4,500. A couple of guys came by and measured the underside and said the frame is off less than 1/4” right where the impact happened at the very front and everything else seems to be square. I will be cutting this car loose soon unless there are other offers.

Thanks,

Ed

Nice, if I was closer I would have been at your door with your asking price and a trailer the day you posted this.

$4,500 seems fair to all parties. $3,000 seemed low

ejkelly3

Well he’s actually offering $4,000 if he comes to pick it up; $4,500 if I can deliver to OKC which I can’t. Does this seem fair?

I sold the car today. The buyer came by yesterday and hooked up a battery and the Camaro fired up immediately. I’m sad to see it go but at least it will stay a Camaro and will be used as a road course car. Thank you all for input and offers.
