Thumbs up Help me find an LS1!!!!!

Hey all, looking for a LS1 Camaro to use as a daily driver. My car has gotten to the point where I would like it to be on weekend warrior duty. Looking for a reasonably priced Camaro LS1, decent miles, at or damn near stock... Hard to find I know, if you guys know of any or come across one please post up a link!

Thanks,

Elvis

Not sure. It's what ever they come with. We got lucky and got one with 79k bone stock. Depends on the year. If it's 120k + then I would think twice. But I've seen plenty of ls1's hit 190k

I've found a couple but people are either pricing them too high or they have too many miles. One guy had a 84k 01 Z listed at 9500 and said he wouldn't budge on the price because it was market value... Pffff

Anyways not buy a little Honda for gas mileage. Just that much more money a month you can put into your LS1. Quickly pay for its self.

Thanks for the offer, but the miles are a little too high for what I'm looking for at this time.
