ok, no pics. i did, however, get a wealth of info on the Camaro:

1986 Camaro Z28
72,000 miles
305 8-cyl
5-spd
T-tops
$2000 obo

It has minor rear bumper damage, a small crack on the left side. the paint on the hood and rear deck is faded. The tires are OK, they have plenty of life left in them. The weatherstripping around the T-tops may need some work. The dashboard is cracked, which i believe is a common problem with the 3rd gens.

There were no visible leaks under the car, nor was there any rust.

I'm not sure if the car is carb'd or has TPI, i forgot to check the rear bumper. It has chrome exhaust tips, although the "For Sale" sign didn't mention an aftermarket exhaust.

I checked Kelley Blue Book....a carb'd 5-spd with A/C, power steering, AM/FM/cassette, t-tops and alloy wheels is worth $1500 in good condition. In fair condition, which this car would fall under, it's wroth $1100. A TPI car in good condition is worth $1580, a fair TPI car worth $1,175.

Now, if I got this car, first thing in order would be a cam swap. If i'm not mistaken, the '86's had reduced power due to a smaller cam, right? I'd also need to do some minor repairs to the weatherstripping. The rear bumper I'm not too worried about, nor the paint. Those things can be fixed later.

What do you guys think? is this car worth buying? or should i leave it alone? I might drive it tomorrow.
