Are you looking for a certain generation of Camaro? I've found some pretty good deals near me on Camaros of all generations with the exclusion of the 1st gen. I personally am building an '81 2nd gen. I was lucky enough to get my first one from our farm for free, but the body of it was pretty poor. So I found a rust free body for $400. My plan was to swap in the 355 and 4 speed from the first but now I'm going to turbo a 5.3ls and mate it to a t56 I have.

How much you willing to spend? My friend has two of them and the one for sure is for sale and the other he is on the fence on but for the right price he would let go of it. Looking to make a race car? street car?

as my first post said i am stupid short on cash but my trade offers are listed above..depends on how cheap he wants to go to move the cars.. pics a plus definately, t tops are a huge plus ..pwer stuff doesnt really make a diff for me..and my goal would be a 5.3L T56 or MN12 build ..the engine/trans would be last on the list ..however i wanted to put a 02 z28 interior in it seat wise, new carpet, headliner * third gens are notorious for those* wheels, and then start shopping for engine/trans.. optimally i would want a LQ9 w/ MN12 but that ***** pricey and takes time to get it when the deals come by..but thats what i am looking for...
he has an 89 with t-tops that I just posted on thirdgen org that is cheap but he doesnt have a title for it and the other one will be a good project, but has a cage and no HVAC system, manual windows and could be sold with or with out the tubular front suspension.
