Default Transmission swap from auto to manuel 2002 ss camaro

Hey guys just found a camaro on craigslist. its a 2002 z28 camaro it says but in the pics has ss stuff all over it so it could be an ss. anyways the car is only $6500 and only has 33,000 miles on it only problem is that its an auto... so how hard and how much money would it cost to swap trannies? and in the pics it had "SS" tags ss floor mats and the ss hood i didnt see the spoiler.

Most T-56 are approx. $1500 on eBay and such. Then you have to get all the goodies to hook it up. What's wrong with auto?

not as fun 2 drive, worse mileage, less power even tho they are better for drag racing and people also have a negative opinion towards you as in like hes a wuss driving a camaro thats an automatic.

Even if it is a Z28 if it only has 33,000 miles and its going for $6500 I think you should really do your research on this one. That price is WAY cheap for a low-mileage Z28, especially a 2002. Where at on Craigslist is it?

Well yeah sure go for it no doubt. All Im saying is just make sure that you take a little time to check it out because at that price, there could very easily be a major problem being hidden. Im sure you already know that. its common sense. just my 0.02

Well there has to be something wrong with that car for a price tag like that. I wouldn't jump into it. Ask if you could get it checked out. But then again it's on craigslist so maybe there isn't anything wrong with it and it's just stolen.

I don't see an SS hood or spoiler. You can grab the vin and check with SLP, they should be able to tell you if that vin is from an SS, what number it is, and what packages came with it. Run a Carfax on it, it'll be worth your money. If all of those things check out, take it for a test drive...
