98 Camaro SS Just curious as to what it may be worth. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about the possibility of selling it for a DD or a bike, but I can't bring myself to it once I sit in it and start it up. Any way the details
1998 Camaro SS Black on Black w/ 35th Anniversary Wheels (polished outside, black inside) riding on Forteza fronts and Nitto 555r drag radials in the rear
Paint is decent, has a mark on the front bumper where someone backed into it (quoted $200-300 fix, about the size of a half dollar), has minor paint bubble on hatch near key hole (quoted <$50 fix, dime sized), 2 small dents on passenger rear quarter (no quote on this, both together are dime sized) all of this was done prior to my purchase. Quote I got for a total respray and fixing all the imperfections was $2500-3000. Since I purchased it I've noticed the infamous sail panel bubbling issue. Made me sick to my stomach and somewhat fueled the fire to sell it.
As for mods, these were all done prior to my purchase
Has a 2002 LS1 motor from an SS (not sure why it was changed but was prior to the person I bought it from buying the car)
LT-Pacesetter
ORY
SLP Loudmouth Cat Back
SLP MAF
F13 cam (230/232 .598" .586")
patriot gold valve springs
Texas speed ported ls6 oil pump
ls2 timing chain
slp lid/ smooth bellow
eldebrock torque arm
lakewood rear control arms
Sub Frame connectors
strano springs
kyg front adjustable struts
tick performance clutch adjustable master cylinder
Was dyno tuned in Ohio, I have the shop name somewhere as well as the dyno sheet, but it put out 397 HP with around 375 torque, if I remember correctly.
Mileage is around 82,xxx
Passes PA emissions and safety inspection
Again I just curious if I got a good deal and to see what I could possibly get out of it if I decide to get rid of it. Thanks for your help.

You are correct. I drove out from Pittsburgh to test drive it and was sold the minute he started it. Zach was straight forward about it too, which made it a pretty smooth process with getting it back to PA. Not sure yet if I want to sell it or not, but if I do, I'll let you know.

Bump this back to the top. I'm back on the fence about getting rid of it, especially only getting to drive it 3k miles in over a year. I think its time for a house, followed closely by a first generation to fill the garage. Current mileage is 85,000, so given the current market what do you think would be reasonable without giving it away? I'm not really in a rush to get rid of it, so I could sit on it awhile till I got a decent offer. Friend at work is selling his 98 Z28 with 50,000 miles in NBM, A4, torque thursts and upgraded rear axle. He's asking 13.5K but has no interest. Thanks.
