'86 LS1 Camaro Well, I'm not sure I want to do this, but I think its time to go ahead and sell my car. Here are the basics.
*Asking Price: $10,000 obo
*Vehicle City & State: Ocala, Fl
*Vehicle Make, Model, Year: 1986 Camaro Z28
*Actual Mileage: ???
*Title: Clean
*Transmission Type: T56
*Body Color: Black
*Interior Type and Color: Tan cloth w/ 4th gen seats
*List of modifications: I'll see if I can remember everything. It has an LS1 w/T56. I put in a new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder when I did the swap. Aluminum DS, all Autometer Ultra Lite gauges (5" tach and speedo) in custom carbon fiber panel, Walbro 340 in tank. Now to the good stuff. The engine had 25K on it when I bought it and I have put another 20K on it since I did the swap 3 years ago. The engine has PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads w/ARP bolts, MS3 cam, PRC dual valve springs, chrome LS6 intake (don't ask how they did it, I bought it like that), LS2 timing chain, TSP ported LS6 oil pump, ARP rod bolts, 1 3/4" stainless steel headers, true dual exhaust w/ Magnaflow mufflers. All engine and exhaust work was done by me 1 1/2 yrs ago and I MIGHT have put 2500 miles on it since then. The car was tuned by Jeremy Formato and made 430/385 on the dyno. It also has a 10 bolt w/ 4.10s and an Aluminum TA girdle.
I upgrade to LS1 brakes front and rear. Calipers are painted red and brackets are jet hot coated.
The engine bay was painted Viper Steel Grey while the engine was out. I was going to paint the whole car, but I haven't gotten around to it.
*List of known issues, flaws, or problems: All it really needs is some paint and body work. There was some rust above the driver's window that was fixed and primered. The doors should be replaced and I have 2 sets of doors that I will give you. The interior is decent shape, but I was going to swap the tan for black.
*Attach photos or post links to photos: I can get more pics later, but here is what I have now.
I know I'm forgetting some things. If you have any questions, just ask.

Your asking to much. I would bring it down to $6500, There is another 3rd Gen Firebird on here for that exact price of $6500 & it still has not sold. I am just saying
Good luck on the sale man

The only problem with selling it for $6500 is that it would cost me more than that to buy all the parts again, not to mention another car. This is probably a case of the parts being worth more than the whole. Oh well. BTW, the exhaust is 1 3/4" headers with 2.5" duals and an h-pipe. The mufflers are Magnaflow (here are the exact ones I used http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku)
The car does not have t-tops or working AC.

Dont feel bad I have a mid 11 second 4 cylinder mustang
I have about 7-8k invested including the car...I might be lucky to sell it for 5....
You built it to have a sweet car....not to sell it I'm sure....find a way to keep it..or tear tthe goodies out of this one, and put them in a new project...
Or part it out....
Or if you can deal with the loss..sell it as you were going to just at a better price...
Might consider a 500 buck maaco paint...

I'd love to have a LS1 3rd gen. Would make a sweet car if I could swap my suspension over to a car with a good drivetrain.
Or, swap the drivetrain and brakes from this one onto my car. Still interested in selling?
