What about this one?

How about this one? Bad car fax, owner says when he bought the car he was told it had 80K on it but previous owner had replaced the gauge pod and it was installed at 0 zero miles (had 1600 miles on the OD when he bought the car). The OD now has 7119miles. The seller said he had it sold but then when the buyer did a car fax it said it was over 300K miles (I find that hard to believe). He wants $5,000 plus I would have to get it shipped from OH. It is a real SS with a 6 speed and he has the stock white wheels that will go with the sale as well. He said there is nothing wrong with the car. Said I could fly out and drive it back. Thoughts??

Its very cool and looks clean but I don't think I could own a TMU 30th SS

frankzlt1 10-10-2014 11:02 AM

1 of the biggest problems is the distance, what if the car isn't what you want you just traveled all that way. I would do is look for other cars around that area to look at just in case that deal go's bad.

Formula413 10-10-2014 11:12 AM

I think you'd almost have to look at it as a car with 300K on it, especially when it comes to the price.

I don't know what your budget is but here is one. I've seen it in person. Lot of money now but in the future, could be a worthy investment.

I offered the guy 4k sight unseen, as is. I figured I couldn't go wrong. I'll see what he says. Shipping is 365.00 from OH to the Boston terminal.

Beautiful car but 20k is not what Im looking to spend on a car I plan to beat at autocrosses. Thanx for the link though.

LSX-Nation 10-10-2014 10:29 PM

guy would be dumb not to take that offer.

Kalstar 10-10-2014 11:27 PM

So I have the seller down to $4450 and he will throw in....

Used Spohn rear suspension (adjustable TQ arm, hard pan, LCA relo brackets and arms)

New unistalled QA1 coilovers front and rear

New uninstalled Loudmouth 1 exhaust

Second set of wheels, chrome ZR1 wheels 17x9 and 17x11 rear.

315 mt drag radials (4 passes).

What are they parts worth if I sold them off?

Kalstar 10-11-2014 08:27 PM

Thoughts? See post above.

frankzlt1 10-12-2014 12:20 AM

The oh car?

84ta406 10-12-2014 12:33 AM

Easily a grand maybe more in parts.

Kalstar 10-12-2014 02:23 AM

Yes Frank, the TMU car in OH.

Z28 10-13-2014 05:02 PM

Id be interested in some of the pieces of you were to get them with the car. That's not a bad deal easy 1500 in parts right there

I'll let you know.

My thoughts with this car would be to buy a new short block from Mabbco and set up a dual shot NX express direct port. A stock bore 4 bolt LT1 is $1799 with forged pistons. Cam/heads/bolt-ons should get the car into the 10's all on the cheap. It already has the suspension and drag pack. T-56 was rebuilt 7500 miles ago.

Kalstar 10-15-2014 04:42 AM

I think I am going to hold out for a better example. I would love to get my hands on one of the 108 LT4 Camaro SS 30th that were produced. I would imagine those will be the collector cars for the 4th gen cars. The 35th is cool too but there were thousands produced. The LT4 SS goes for north of $25K with the right miles. I would also go for a 30th SS 6 speed vert too sub 18K. at $4450 the other SS is a deal especially with the extra parts but at the end of the day it will be something that will need work on (I have enough of those cars) if I can find the right example them I will go with it.

LSX-Nation 10-15-2014 10:15 PM

ill keep my eyes open.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 10-15-2014 11:16 PM

i know columbia had one? dont know if they still do.

Kalstar 10-16-2014 01:17 PM

Thx guys. I know I am looking for a Camaro in the $$ realm of a C6 Vette, but I have had the Vettes, I want an SS. If someone finds me the right car I will make it worth your while.

Not sure on the color. What do you think it's worth?

This one looks nice too.

frankzlt1 10-21-2014 01:10 AM

I like the blue one better. I don't care for the pewter color. For a price I would think around the 8k for the mi.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 10-21-2014 01:28 AM

blue car has mods...... just my 2 cents.

Kalstar 10-21-2014 03:07 AM

Mods good or bad?

Formula413 10-21-2014 03:42 AM

On an SS I would say probably not good, unless they are minor and reversible. I didn't see a mod list for that car so I don't know what it has. I'm not a fan of tan interiors personally. And I do like Pewter F buckets. The first person I met from the online community after I bought my car was Jay from CT with the Pewter WS6. It was already 90% drag car at the time. Still one of my favorites.

Here s the mod list.

Dyno tuned by SloHawk Performance in Bridgewater Ma...340 rearwheel horsepower and 343 lbs/torque.

Formula413 10-21-2014 12:38 PM

That's nothing too extreme, the engine is still untouched. If those are mods you wouldn't mind having then I wouldn't be put off by them. I would want to drive it and see how it rides unless you plan on changing the suspension. But lowering springs are almost a must with Camaros.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 10-22-2014 12:23 AM

mods like that means it was beat on. and if not properly tuned for them could have very well hurt the motor, either too rich or too lean. Modded cars are bought by people who are gunna mod them further and beat the piss out of them some more.
