[shadowfire]

It's in California... So no.

[shadowfire]

It's in California... So no.

yea i know but my ss came from down south so im thinking it would just be a little more to pay for the car carrier do you think this guy is putting up fake info or will not be honest ??

[redsoxsstink]

doesnt your camaro have a ls6 in it already? personally i would never buy a car that i havent seen no matter how many pictures, the buyer only has to show you what he wants you to see, and no car is perfect

[grazi]

165,000 miles......just put blue and red lights on ur hood

[shadowfire]

doesnt your camaro have a ls6 in it already? personally i would never buy a car that i havent seen

yes it does but the price this guy is asking fits perfect for me and maybe building it up some more... i know that you should never buy a car you cant look over , but its hard to find ws6's let alone for this price

[grazi]

That doesnt seem great to me a car with 165,000...$9000???

[Jersey Mike]

No.

[shadowfire]

165,000 miles......just put blue and red lights on ur hood

thats on the body , i would hope .. as it says but i dont know he could be lieing ... i have always wanted a ws6 but they are a bit $$$ . so i thought this would be cheap and i could work with it

[shadowfire]

well i guess alot of NO so far :lol:

[coolmanvette75]

Check ls1tech. A ws6 vert 6spd in maryland just sold for 5k the other day...

[NJ Torque]

How do you feel about verts?

[band77one]

didnt you just have the camaro built? then were complaining about not having money to do it over again?

[grazi]

Check ls1tech. A ws6 vert 6spd in maryland just sold for 5k the other day...
I guess I'm not getting 5k for my car. haha

[shadowfire]

yes i see that thanks

[shadowfire]

How do you feel about verts?

i dont mind

[JW]

Whats with the hood pins? Is it a true ws6 or did he just buy a hood and badge? I agree with them, don't buy it.

JW :D

[shadowfire]

didnt you just have the camaro built? then were complaining about not having money to do it over again?

yes i did you have it built and its mostly done ... i would like a new exhaust and 3:73 's and a new rear but in the end this may be less money and its nice to have two f bodys ,

[LTb1ow]

I say go for it, I mean you only live once.

[grazi]

Nice

[grazi]

Living with regret is not living at all

[LTb1ow]

**** regret, live life without it and you shall go far.

[grazi]

Word

[band77one]

yes i did you have it built and its mostly done ... i would like a new exhaust and 3:73 's and a new rear but in the end this may be less money and its nice to have two f bodys ,

if a new rear, exhaust and gears costs 9k ill eat this whole forum

[grazi]

Wait a sec, is that a typo or do you really have 312,000 posts

[LTb1ow]

I haz all teh base.

[band77one]

ps- im not trying to be a ball buster or down you or anything im just curious as to why you'd want another car some dude probably beat the **** out of when you just had yours done and it looks clean as hell

[grazi]

I haz all teh base.
Damn boy, you needs to get a job or suttin.

[LTb1ow]

Damn boy, you needs to get a job or suttin.

Yes I know, I was hoping with a big post count I could be a mod, but that dream has sailed away. :cry:

[shadowfire]

no no not 9k ,, i did not say that??? im just thinking if i got the ws6 for say 5k then its a could deal, ... im not sure what 3:73's would cost but i was priceing new exhaust and looking at 700 plus the cost of install. and a new 12 bolt is about 1,900 plus install, and rears never are just that easy

[grazi]

But that guy had a buy it now price of 9g

[LTb1ow]

How much would it cost to fly it back to the east coast?

[shadowfire]

ps- im not trying to be a ball buster or down you or anything im just curious as to why you'd want another car some dude probably beat the **** out of when you just had yours done and it looks clean as hell

my car is coming along but it is still not good enuff for me, plus i have always wanted a ws6 i really want a 2001 in black,, but i everywhere i look its to much money

[shadowfire]

But that guy had a buy it now price of 9g

that is the buy it now price ... i would bid 5k if it goes over that some one else would win no big deal if i got it for 5k then i would pay what i want ........ win/win

[grazi]

How much would it cost to fly it back to the east coast?
I say sail it down south through the panama canal

[LTb1ow]

I say sail it down south through the panama canal

Wouldn't that be rather expense and time consuming?

[shadowfire]

How much would it cost to fly it back to the east coast?

i have priced that as well 3 companys would do it for me price rage from 800 up to 1200 depending if you want closed truck our not and what company you choose... i did this with my ss and got a great deal the previous owner paid half to get it to me and i paid the half when it was delivered

[grazi]

How would that be expensive, your harnessing the wind......Its a free ride dude

[LTb1ow]

They don't use sail boats any more man, I think you should google this stuff.

[shadowfire]

i like the idea of another ls6 and the cam looks good (at least on paper) and a 3600 stall converter ... plus the other goodies i think it might be work it ... i would probally have to change the interior to grey .. i dont like that tan S#@^

[LTb1ow]

Place bid, do it and regret perhaps later.

[shadowfire]

car carrier

[WildBillyT]

Fedex custom critical is very good for shipping. Enclosed and good drivers.

[WayFast84]

??? how so

I'll use my miles to fly there. I'll drive it back?

[shadowfire]

I'll use my miles to fly there. I'll drive it back?

oh please do not be upset, but i think ill let a carrier do it,, its not anything to do with you, i just could think of hundred things that could go wrong

[coolmanvette75]

$3000
Reserve Not Met...

[band77one]

if you happen to get for 5k, you should sell me your camaro for 3k!

[LTb1ow]

$3000
Reserve Not Met...

Forever First Creep.

Reserve met

[shadowfire]

if you happen to get for 5k, you should sell me your camaro for 3k!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sweetbmxrider]

less the 30k miles on the installed LS6 engine with Automatic transmission

The original motor & tranny which had 140k miles on it was replaced with a 2003 corvette LS6 engine that had 30k miles

The car has 165k miles on it but the engine and tranny have under 30k miles on it.

Sounds more like 55,000 miles to me. Its your money, you said you want a black 01 ws6 and this is a 98 white with "$#!+" tan interior that you would replace. His ad makes him sound like he knows nothing. I agree, go for it.

[shadowfire]

$3000
Reserve Not Met...

very true thats why im thinking 5000 its a little over half of the 9k he wants ill see what others bid

[WildBillyT]

Just put the cash into your Camaro. New exhaust system maybe?

[shadowfire]

if you happen to get for 5k, you should sell me your camaro for 3k!

but i might trade it for something hmmmm lets say a new zr1 :kneeslap:

[shadowfire]

Just put the cash into your Camaro. New exhaust system maybe?

yea ... i just like the ls6 and the cam and those heads but i should save for a black one i love the look of the black ws6 ,, its really the motor i was looking at, but im not as knowledgeable as you guys so thats why i made this thread hoping you guys would look it over... not just the pics, but what he was saying in the ad

[BigAls87Z28]

but i might trade it for something hmmmm lets say a new zr1 :kneeslap:

Didn't know you rolled around with 100k+ in your pocket man!!


:bertstare:

[shadowfire]

Didn't know you rolled around with 100k+ in your pocket man!!


:bertstare:

i do not sir,, this was a ongoing joke about some one buying my ss for 3k, i told him i would trade him for a zr1... sorry if you misunderstand :wink:

from what i can tell... hood is not stock or even oem, front bumper was repainted, a/c removed, radio loose in dash, areas of normal seat wear not visible in pics...

Do NOT buy it


http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2799727155.html
and as for that.. a LT4 performance motor built by Jasper... not worth it, wont last

But it has 4th gen GTA wheels paul....:bertstare:


i say buy the WS6.

[Slow-V6]

Can a H/C car pass a smog test?? Especially a car that is 14 yrs old with those mods? Our 95 Firehawk is stock and it just passed the NJ smog test. I think California is a little bit more difficult.. You could get the Vin and check out WS6 registry and see if it matches any WS6 cars there maybe?

The car has never been raced but is very fast? What are those elecronic boxs under the steering wheel and in front of the Shifter for??

It has a WS6 airbox as well.. He spent the money to make this thing a WS6 clone if it isnt real..

[BullittSVT]

How about.. you skip the WS6 in California that is pretty shady. And... find.. one local? If you just spent money to piss on a freshly built SS, use it! Having two f-bodies doesn't really have any advantage - just more headaches. They are aging cars, owning two old sports cars is just asking for financial trouble (I have two in my drive way). The WS6 may of been built like crap and that's what you're wanting to step in, buy what you know. If you're not knowledgeable and you come to people who know what they are talking about and what they would do in your situation, take their advice. Most of the helpful posts in this unnecessarily growing thread is saying NO, it's a bad idea. And as Jeff said above, it could very well be just a clone and that's what you're going to buy. A Clone, might as well find a Trans Am around here and make one yourself. WS6's are cool if you just want a stock car, most of the stuff done to it would be replaced if you were to build a Trans Am anyway.

[NJ Torque]

Ive got a few cars I'll sell you...

[V]

I'm pretty sure they are the control boxes for the stupid flashing police lights in the hood and taillights.

[Slow-V6]

No wonder I didnt know what they were.. Was thinking a line lock and N20...

[Featherburner]

I guess you wont be buying this one.

[grazi]

Bidding ended...DId he buy it????

[WayFast84]

I hope not...

[sweetbmxrider]

Why? It was a good deal.

[shadowfire]

Bidding ended...DId he buy it????

[BigAls87Z28]

Thank goodness that disaster is over. Project Shady WS6 will never be, and we are all better for it.
