Maybe you should buy it. It will be a good learning experience when you realize the car is way past saving. At least $300 isn't a whole lot of money to be out of. The car has been picked over. I got a nicer car than that for FREE. It was an 88 RS with a solid body. The guy completely tore the car apart, then realized he was in way over his head. I kept the car on hand for a year for anything I needed, then I stripped everything that was worth keeping and sent it to the junk yard. I doubt that guy even has a title for the car, he sounds like HE knows it's a parts car.

I bought my 83 Z28 with a running 305, complete interior, and solid body (no rust) for $900. That's a big step up from rusted pile of junk with no engine and a beat up/missing interior.
funny tho has clean title and has full interior but ya ima just let her get junked might get lights and sell them on ebay

If no wiring or dash board is a complete interior to you, then maybe this is the car for you...

sounds like your trying to build a serious car and you dont even know about finding a good camaro. a 383 is alot of power. and im not talking about the one's you shave a 400 crank and put it in a 350 block. i mean a real mean 383 like your saying.

Congrats on the purchase. Sounds like a better candidate for a build. Pics would be great.
