1994 Camaro Z28 Fully Restored Ok, I really hate to do this but I have to. I am short on funds right now from just buying my 1998 Trans Am. I have a 1994 Z28 with 114K miles (on the motor and rear end only). The whole car has been gone through, all of the suspension (disassembled, cleaned, painted, checked for play, etc.), new transmission (Russ Moore local rebuild with a B&M stage 2 shift kit, heavy clutches, have the receipts), delteq ignition kit, new air pump, new egr valve, new starter, newer alternator, newer battery, new u-joints, and new brakes all the way around.
Now inside the car, it has carpet out of a 1995 car and it is less than perfect but it is very clean, new seats out of a 1993 Z28 that had 65K miles on it (the driver's seat had a small hole but it was patched with a piece of my old seat), new rear plastic out of a 1995, an excellent Sony headunit (comes with the original Bose, but the CD player does not work), and all of the dash was torn down and cleaned thoroughly. I also bought a new ABS plastic t-top headliner off ebay from custom interiors and installed it.
The exterior of the car in the restoration received newer doors (off of 1996 car where they used epoxy instead of glue to laminate the doors), new front fenders and front bumper. The whole car was refinished in beautiful Torch Red. I know that I will never get my time or money out of this car. It has been way too much fun and it should be for years to come, but I really need to move it. My dad is trying to cram 5 cars in our garage and it is just too tight. I have to have the car until the beginning of May due to a presentation I must do on what I learned from it.
Now lets talk about what needs fixed (and I will be COMPLETELY HONEST). The rear hatch glass has a few scratches from a set of louvers that were on it at one time. The hatch has a small chip along the bottom edge that never got fixed before the car was painted but it is barely noticeable. A few of the interior pieces I got were newer, but not perfect and do have a few scratches in them. The dash pad has 2 cracks (not very bad for our cars). The intake elbow also has a small tear, but I repaired it enough that it should be good for years to come. The left turn signal doesn't automatically cancel every now and then since I had the column apart. I will investigate this and see what I can do (I think the spring might be a bit on the weak side).
Performance wise, I have a Flowmaster 40 series muffler on it with dual dual style SLP SS tips, all of the free mods, and a custom tune I did with LT1 edit.
From the factory, this car came with t-tops, bose stereo, 150 speedo (Z-rated tires), standard cloth interior, and all of the other basics for a year like this.
I have a ton of extra parts that go with the car as well. I will have no need for them so they are readily available to the buyer. If you are interested, send me your email and I will send you pics. I have a video clip of the exhaust as well. My asking price is $7,500 OBO, and let me stress the OBO. I have about 10K invested in this car just in new parts, and I really wanna sell someone a really nice dependable car. I have driven it nearly 11K miles in a little under a year and it has NEVER left me stranded.

This is a cloudy day so it looks really red. When it is sunny, it shows up being nearly orange.
The new headliner
The SLP tips
The best pic I could get of the small chip in the hatch
The Delteq system

Hey I still got it. It now has 118K miles on it, new alternator, tensioner, and belt. Also had a few other body issues fixed (LH rocker was dented a little and there were a few small ripples in the paint that I had smoothed out. One of the cleanest cars around. $7,000 takes it home. Come on, Someone needs a Super Clean LT1. Perfect candidate for a build and show car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
