this kid in my school bought this car in like march for like 900 bucks and it ended up being such a beater that it wasnt worth fixing, everything on the car has somthing wrong with it! he sold it to this guy for like 450 apparently he's an expert:lol:

its really a bone stock 305 with a crome intake manifold and air cleaner and ricer hosing and shorty headers the car barely drives cause the trans is junk it has 160k miles and 0k invested and probly wasnt in a garage since it rolled off the lot in 84

so stay away from this dude, not that anyone is stupid enough to believe it anyways

[NastyEllEssWon]

wow with grammar like that in a for sale ad who would respond to it.....looks like a pos with lots of dress up parts from eddlecrap

[Whiplash Performance]

im salling my 84 z28 with a 350 engine on her new edlelbrock heads, intake, carb also have a new batt, plugs, wires all filters, fruits, alternator , headers a full 3' flow master more then 20 k invested under the fiver glass hood of my baby, i don't want to sale it but i want something new. the bad is fluit in the brake lines change all pads and rotor but for got the bleed the lines. garage kept all the time not a daily driver.
i would also consider a trade for a newer camaro or a mustang but i would consider all trades. call/txt at 862 216 2316

How many mistakes?
3 foot flowmaster, that a huge exhaust how does it fit under the car?

[NastyEllEssWon]

i wonder how many hp fruits gets you :lol:





edit: my fav part. WILL CONSIDER TRADES FOR NEWER CAMARO OR MUSTANG BUT I WILL CONSIDER ALL TRADES

[19iroc88]

i like how he's tryin to pass it for a 350

[19iroc88]

yeah i gotta get me some of those

[FlyingDutchman]

NO JOY RIDES?!?!?!

not like theres an issue with the steering/brakes/trans or anything:shifty:

[NastyEllEssWon]

meh its nothing new to try to pass off a 305 as a 350. one start of the motor will tell you if it is or not :nod:

[jims69camaro]

anyone worth their salt would look at the pictures and run. there is no way in hell he's got 20k invested, unless he bought the car new and got ripped off at the dealer****.

[deadtrend1]

i dunno. He's got a full 3 foot flowmaster he says. Thats gotta be expensive..

[WildBillyT]

New meaning to the term "sewer pipe exhaust".

What the hell does he mean by "fruits"? Fluids?

[chrisfrom nj]

i seen the car in west orange at the spartan gass station on central ave its a real pos

[maroman88]

hes been salling it for a while now

[thunder]

you guys are idiots. if its got clean fruits that makes it run smooth. but if he chromed that **** you know its a stroker or something .nobody chromes a POS. i want!!

[sweetbmxrider]

wow

[HeadlessNorseman]

meh its nothing new to try to pass off a 305 as a 350. one start of the motor will tell you if it is or not :nod:

if it runs like **** its hard to tell. If you had a ****** running 305 you could pass it off as a 350 which someone might buy just to get the motor

anyways...

thats funny. Hes trying to sound like one of those nigerian scam ad things

[BonzoHansen]

wow with grammar like that in a for sale ad who would respond to it.....looks like a pos with lots of dress up parts from eddlecrap

The grammar and spelling in this thread rival the work in that ad. :rofl:

[Saitin]

Does that mean no "TEST" drives?

[19iroc88]

i tried to drive it when my friend owned it, i drove it down the street with "97camaro" and i pulled in a driveway to turn around and it wouldnt shift to reverse , so i put it in neutral so i thought... and got out to push it back out and as soon as i started to push it starts to drive foward so i hopped in drove over the guys lawn and barely got it back to his house. then i checked out the front pads and there was absolutly no pad left and the metal backing plate was almost gone too! but i guess fruit camaro's are rare so someones gettin "lucky"

[madness410]

theres always someone willing to lie / cheat / steal for a little bit of money these days..

[19iroc88]

ill give him 20 bucks, nvm it would be too hard to resell

[Whiplash Performance]

I e-mailed the dude the following:

I have a few questions about the Camaro.
What modifications have you made that totaled up to $20,000, do you have receipts for all these purchases?
If not do you have installation dates and time?
Who performed the modifications done to this car?
Do you know what this car makes on a dyno?
What transmission is this car hooked up to?

[maroman88]

ten bucks says he doesnt respond

[transmaro93]

hahah that add is great..... cant see him having 20k invested in the whole car let alone just under the hood.... i feel really bad if some poor soul that doesn't know what he is buying picks this up....

[Whiplash Performance]

ten bucks says he doesnt respond

Looks like you just lost ten buck! :mrgreen:

Did this kid not pass first grade?

[NastyEllEssWon]

lol @ carb cleaner....




i see he failed to mention the brand new fruits :nod:

[Whiplash Performance]

lol @ carb cleaner....




i see he failed to mention the brand new fruits :nod:

I think the brand new fruits cost $20,000.
If he put 20k into that 350, he could have saved some money and just bought an LS7 for 4k less.

[NastyEllEssWon]

zr1 crates are like 22k :mrgreen:

[BlckBRDLS1]

Its kinda sad to say this but I kno like 6 people at least who would see 20k under the hood and the 5k price and buy it cuz they think they are gettin a steal.

[//<86TA>\\]

but it has new chrome head covers, those babies are expensive, well worth the 20k invested:lol:

[FlyingDutchman]

too bad the chrome is flaking :lol:

[//<86TA>\\]

too bad the chrome is flaking :lol:

no, thats custom work right there:lol:

[19iroc88]

i guess its too expensive for me to take a test drive, or maybe its because the radial is coming outa the dry rotted tires and the break lines arnt connected to the paddless rotors and the trans wont shift outa park anymore, but im sure he's trying to protect his investment noone wants there 20k being joy ridden

I wrote him..

Hello
I really like your car. It's an impressive machine, to say the least. They really don't make them like they used to.

Anyway, I read in your ad that trades might be accepted.

Would you take the following in trade? An old 8 track player, used mattress (minimal stains), used tires off an '84 honda civic, and some white castle gift certificates?

Pablo


can't wait for the reply

holy cow that is some funny stuff right there

[Whiplash Performance]

I sent him this last night:

Hello,

What is your estimated rear wheel horsepower?
Who polished the heads, were they ported or just polished?
What pistons, rings, rods, intake are on the engine?
What size is the cam?
Were the lifters, rocker arms, push rods upgraded too?
Who tuned the car after the mods were done?
Does the 700 have any work done to it?

No answer yet.

[sweetbmxrider]

:rofl: you guys are asshats hahaha

[caratemymoney]

He said 'No.' to mine... i need to think up some more creative items to sweeten the deal, like old gym socks or a gently used accordian

[sweetbmxrider]

broken condom :rofl:

[19iroc88]

i still think someone should try to get a test drive and offer him a handfull of change and some pocket lint, you never kno...

[thunder]
