Default Bad news about the Camaro

Well, looks like the 86 Z isnt mine anymore, the guy who was selling it was a major ****, after tens of attempts by my father to pick it up (the guy will only meet during his business hours, and says he wouldnt be there everytime my father tried to get the car.) Finally my dad asked why he couldnt just meet him on a saturday, and the guy said "Well thats just the way it is, if you want the money back, send me the title and I will be happy to give you your effing money back." Well my dad didnt take well to that, so there were some other words exchanged, so now ive got $1200 aside for another camaro. Major bummer, that thing was perfect[&o]

Exactly. That one had no rust, no body damage, and a halfway decent interior. It also happened to be EXACTLY what I want, an 85-87 Z28, Black, T-Tops, 5spd, and the 3.23 rear end. All for $950. Im heading down there next week, so hopefully I can find one the first couple of weeks I am down there...


Btw, anyone have a Camaro/Firebird F/S in the South Florida area, hit me a PM.

Honestly, if he wanted 925 for it, I feel there may have been some things wrong with it he didn't tell you.

I could be wrong, but the people who have these in really great shape know their worth because they usually put the time and money into it to fix it.

Keep looking though man. They're awesome cars.

The head gaskets were blown he said, but I could care less as the 305 is getting sent to the junk pile.

I'll sell you mine for what I paid for it ...$1,600. I want more ... but... i need another car due to gas prices. 1991 Camaro RS with a 305 TBI, 350 heads, rebuilt 700R4 with Hurst shift kit, kevlar bands and clutches, and a racing shell.

What kind of mileage are you looking to get with a different car? I just took my 91 RS 305 TBI on a 1200 mile road trip and got 26 mpg on the highway, cruising at 70-80 mph (mostly on the 80 side). The weight of your right foot has a lot to do with mpg, and I wasn't exactly feather light with mine.

You know, gas is quite cheap in the USA :v I pay the equivalent of $5.35/gallon here.

Also, a Kia Sorento gets worse gas mileage than a '91 Camaro :/

As to the OP, keep looking- they turn up easily enough for the age that they are.

..The particular 2005 Kia Sorento that I bought is the V6 4x2 not 4x4, although it is a 5 spd. Also, the camaro link was for a V6. Mine was a 1991 Camaro RS with a 305 TBI. Another thing, you have to realize that there were alotta of other small problems that were wrong with the engine. I came out with a pretty good deal actually. Anywho we're getting off topic here....
