Somebody who doesn't understand that this:


Vehicle title: Salvage


Means that you can't use Kelly blue book "Excellent" or "Fair" condition to gauge price.

Not with a salvage title and over 100K miles! No offense to the seller, but he can keep dreaming.

I asked him about the missing ss stuff...this was his response.

"Value is Current NADA for a camaro SS. The wheels are correct for the T-Top Version. Not all SS's from what I can determine had the 17" SS type wheels. This is detailed in the SS owners manual. Also, that is the correct spoiler for for t-top camaro."

No it isn't. That's assuming a clean title. This title is not clean. Oh well, the true price will come out I guess.

Somebody call this guy and tell him his wheels are wrong:

Yep, and the seller is pretty good at beating around the bush about it. I think most of the bidders didn't even realize is because who in their right mind would pay 40+ thousand dollars for a car with a branded title?

Bored at work so I took a look at the Vin, the car has an N96 wheel code for 16" aluminum wheels.

I had 2 eBay Cadillac's come through the shop last year. All I need to say about them is that it's surprising what some people will buy.

When I ran the VIN for the car it does have the Z28 vin codes along with the other options to support it. I don't know much about the Camaro RPO codes tho. Would Z28 indicate an SS or is there another RPO for the SS package?

I like both of them but the price's are a little high. I think the title status would scare me away even if they were asking a reasonable amount for them.

98+ had wu8 rpo code to designate ss option, don't know about lt1s though.


the people stupid enough to bid on that bid on 25% and 33% of his items in the last 30 days. Gotta love people with multiple ebay names jacking up their own items with fake bids.

Don't see anything in the Vin that indicates an SS. It does have all the Z28 codes tho. I usually run Pontiac Vins so I'm not too sure about the Camaro RPO's.

the 69/02 is a restomod. since they hacked up the car it automatically gets a rebuild/salvage title. ive seen those restomods in some of the classic car mags.
i would love to own one. comforts of the new cars, looks of the older one. that is on the cheaper end of the restomod prices. some go for up to 100k.

For some reason, that just doesn't seem right to me. Why would you do all that work for the title to get branded? A branded title to me just means that the car has been wrecked and brought back to life. If someone has carfax they could run the vin and find out if it was a wreck or not.

Its got the wrong dash in it. Isnt that the dash from an LS1 car?

SteveR

you cant register a salvage title until you get the car rebuilt to 100% factory specs and schedule an inspection for a title reinstatement by the DMV and they go over the car with a fine tooth comb and it has to be in 'like new' condition for them to issue you a title so you can register it. It'll cost more to buy the car and have to do all that then to buy a brand new car.

97 was the first year for the "LS1 Dash" along with the new style tail lights.

The Vehicle will receive a full PA inspection and Title Transfer to the new owner is Included at no additional cost to the buyer. Once this is done in PA, the title will transfer over in NJ as a clean title. Therefore, no full inspection in NJ and no hassles. Ask me how I know. :shifty:

this is true no matter what vehicle you're talking about. 113,517 miles, salvage title, wrong and/or missing parts, graphics are off by almost a full inch on the hood (most noticeable by the headlights and the beginning of the scoop)... i could go on and on. i don't think anyone would buy it for 13k. hell, he started out the auction at 4 and no one bit.

yeah, but this is a completely different story. this is a work of art, where the other car is just a salvage car rebuilt with questionable parts and labor.

i think you're better off starting with a Dynacorn body and retro-fitting all of the 2002 pieces to fit the '69 body. if you look at that car, it seems that something is amiss, especially the windshield from the front view. i don't know, i am only guessing since i don't know the owner or the builder, but it just seems weird. i wonder how much fabrication is under that body...

There was an ad in Chevy HP a few months ago for a similar car to the 69/02. But it was based off a Vette. I think it said the place that makes these is in California.

They actually sell new bodies for '69s that are all set up for 4th gen suspension parts. I forget who makes them though.

yep. dunno where they are based, but they can even work with other manufacturers (DSE, Chris Alston, Strange, etc.) to have the right pickup points/attach points for their products. Dynacorn is the name...

Oh, I thought you meant the Dynacorn original body, not the one with the 4th gen frame.

jims69camaro
07-23-2008, 08:37 PM
it's not the unit body "frame" that gets changed, it's just a little extra support here and there and the right attach points for the suspension you plan to install so that it moves like a factory-installed part that matters. i am sure you are thinking about another company that accepts the dynacorn body and does all of the modifications to it, but i read that dynacorn can do the same thing before it leaves their factory. i think i'd trust it a little more if it was done all at the same time rather than piece-meal. sending it out to whoever to get the job done. to each his own, though.
