may be getting a 3rd gen Camaro...
 

A guy in my area is selling a "TeamCamaro", one of the Choo Choo Customs conversions. it's got the 5.0L 4-bbl LG4 and the auto trans, with 120,000 miles on the clock. it has a small exhaust leak, and pulls to the right a little when the brakes are applied. The A/C needs to be charged, and the paint is fading a bit here and there. there's no body damage at all, and the brakes and tires are new. I'm not quite sure what is causing the pulling during braking. One of the calipers might be dragging slightly and brakes earlier. the interior is in good shape, no rips in the seats, no cracks in the dash or anything. it has power windows and locks.

the car has been sitting for a little while, but the current owner drained all the fluids, and replaced them with fresh stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some gunk in the fuel lines. the exhaust leak is a mystery problem too, but once i find out where it's coming from it should be an easy fix.

the guy is selling it for $1400, but he said he'll let it go for $1200. i'd like to get the car and clean it up a bit, and use it as a sleeper. what do you guys think?

$1,200 ****ing dollars, you have to be kidding me Pat.

I let my piece go for $1,100 and someone still complained about it :roll:
As a mater of fact it was all Mechanically "there"

What year?

the guy says it's an '87, but i think the Choo Choo cars were all '86s.....

i would hardly call the T/A mechanically sound. the thing died a week after you sold it. this car is in much better shape.

lol

is that in lincoln park or somewhere close? i drove down some road there today and saw it...looked like an ultra-mulletfest

it's in wayne, on Newark-pompton turnpike.

FYI, if anyone's interested, there's also a white '88 GTA for sale. it has a 350, bored .030-over, and a swapped-in Richmond 5-spd trans. 2,500 miles on the new engine. Paint could use a little work on the spoiler, but other than that the car is immaculate. the seller is asking $4500, i got the number if anyone's interested.

:owned:

you can do alot better for $1200-1400...I would definitly say at a tbi powered car...but its up to you but I definitly think you could do better...I posted just a few weeks back about the 89 formy l98 car for $800 so there are cars out there that would serve you better.

Re: car
 

yeah that would be it....a guy owns it now, there aren't any strobe lights on it anymore. oh well. thanks for the tip.

It ran fine when I sold it. Must have something to do with red-lining the motor and sitting for 5+ months?

you said it yourself....the trans was on it's deathbed. however, redlining the motor wouldn't help either.

F that, you insane?
