Default Camaro- Craigslist

I really want a trans am, but this came up, and it looks like a pretty decent deal. Front bumper needs painting, but other then that looks OK.

1993 Chevy Camaro Z28 Coupe, Hi Perf 350 TPI V8, Automatic Trans, 136,000 miles, Full Power, Windows, locks, mirrors, rear defrost, tilt, cruise, Sony FM/CD,

Dark Grey Exterior, Black/Grey cloth interior. Ice Cold A/C, Factory Aluminum Rims with brand new perf. tires. Just put $1000 worth of motor work.

Very Fast and Great Handling

$3250

I have had a couple of LT1s and would not do it again just because of the Opti spark - expensive and a real pain to work on.

These cars are more fun with a manual and get better gas mileage. The automatics are prone to having problems around 100,000. I would find out what the recent $1000 was spent on. If they have proof of Opti and tranny work it is a decent deal at $3250.

Part of the $1,000 repair was the water pump and optispark it sounds like. I think I am going to check it out.

Why does the front bumper look weird? Like its not lined up correct .. Looks to be sagging and not lined with the hood .. Also was the driver seat sewn ? Looks sewed together .. Honestly with those miles and the messed up bumper I woul offer 2500-2600.. That's my opinion ..You can save 1000 more and get a stock ls1 (auto ) with those miles!! Much better car then a 93 :/

I have more $$, but no luck finding an LS1 around here for a decent price. I'd rather have a trans am, but few and far between.

Here is another one I was going to offer $5,000 on, which is about my cap.
