As far as selling rare Camaro parts, that's not a bad idea. Any suggestions on what types of things to look for? I know alot of the 302 SCCA parts fetch a pretty penny if you can find someone willing to sell them to you cheap, not knowing what they have.
There are all kinds of crazy rare Camaro parts. I don't know enough of them, but take a look at this example. This is a real auction and the guy who won it is restoring a real 69 Camaro ZL1.

I always need help getting stuff from the junkyards. I always find stuff I could get for like 10% of what they'll sell on ebay but never have enough hands removing it. I also get there late in the day so it's a bum rush trying to get stuff I need let alone stuff I could sell.
There were like 3 sets of t-tops for $20, a complete black thirdgen interior in mint condition (firebird) for $40. My best find (and I didn't let it slip) was a thirdgen with Hotchkis LCAs attached to a Ford 9" that was missing the carrier but had the axles and c-clip eliminators! $50 for the setup with 2 15x7 black crosslace wheels with decent tread. THAT was a steal of a deal. Also picked up a disc rear 9 bolt from a thirdgen for $100.
There is a TON of good stuff you can bone from a junkyard if you do some hunting. I just enjoy going there to get parts that would otherwise be turned into scrap metal . Things like ecm's for $15 that sell for $40, wiring harnesses complete that'll catch $80 or more on ebay.
If you're interested let me know. I like to go to the yard in east brunswick.

try to pick up a local pizza delivery job for however many days a week that you want.......generaly, every shop has very flexable scheduals, and workin wed-fri nights will nab you a nice chuck of money. I have a friend that works for one and he works firday nights (although its a big pizza night) he makes ~100 on just that night; he's good on cash for the rest of the week.

Camaro part Auction
I just looked at that ebay auction... good luck to the seller on trying to get their money from the high bidder. If you look at the bid history it jumped from around 200 to 800 bucks. I've already experienced dealing with a seller who was unwilling to send me a throttle body I won.

Ebay may be a nice way to sell and buy stuff.... but some people suck on there. And you have to go through the hassle of trying to get your money or get you money back.

There won't be any problems with that auction. The buyer is a legit guy who is restoring a 69 ZL1 Camaro (1 of 69 made with the aluminum 427 engine) and his car is worth $300,000 so $900 for a nut and bolt is no big deal for him.

Heh, I found a bunch of AC delete boxes once at the junkyard I go too, I took one formyself, but didnt have the patience to take the other ones out.

I heard someone payed like $110 for one. I got mine out of an 80's S-10 blazer for $15 bucks (for the 85 T/A)
