That's not too bad, vacuum the interior and clean her up a bit and it'll look a lot better... I've seen FAR worse than that.

To me it was just the case of how someone could take a camaro and think it was ok to treat it like just another car,it is in really good shape for an 86 but wasn't much wrong the guy gave it to me cause he couldn't get it started when i got it home and looked at it he had loosened the distributer and knocked it out of time,I put the distributer back where it belonged and wouldn't you know it fired right up the guy was an idiot in my opinion,she is in great shape but you should see behind the dash to make along story short I'll have to replace the wiring everything is cut.to me it's just sad to see it treated like that.

I hear ya dude. I'm actually trying to trade my '82 right now so I can work my way up to a second gen, but I would never treat the '82 like just another car... and I am NOT trading with someone who aint gonna take car of it either.
