Need some advise..
Ok Tomorrow is a big day for me... I have a v6 camaro but I have two camaros tomorrow to choose from.. well let me know what you guys think
Option A)
1996 Camaro SS 128k miles everything is good on thevehicle except tranny doesnt go from 2nd to 3rd its automatic. I found a tranny for 400 bucks and my uncle can install it for 300 dollars. The car is priced at 2000 Firm. So total cost will be $2700
Option B)
1996 Camaro Z28 170k miles with heads rebuilt 30k miles ago. Has a MOD cam, New fuel pump ,New fuel pressure regulator ,New fuel filters ,New distributor ,New spark plugs ,New ignition and vat/key system. Only problem is a small freon leak at the input pin and oxidized hood (im doing the 98 conversion anyhow) This one I brought down to $2200 from $2400
With either car im taking it to Gearhead Garage here in Gilbert, AZ to have them rebuild the motor and do some internal work and Bore it out to a 383 for around $3500 bucks which is reasonable.
So please I would greatly appreciate it on which camaro to purchase that will benefit me in the long run. Im just worried about the whole tranny problem with the SS. Thanks

The guy with option A lives quite a bit away from me so if I drive it in 2nd gear doing 50 im afraid something more terrible will happen to it.. not to mention id have to take into shop right away and it be out of commission for a while where as option b id have right away with no problems major ones that is
#5
yeah im definitely leaning towards it.. I just hope I get my hands on it, he says a lot of people are going to be looking at it tomorrow. Is it smarter to print up a vehicle purchase agreement and have some sort of limited warranty to where he lists all the problems it has then take it to get inspected and if a major issue occurs to return it to him or does it really matter since im having the motor rebuilt anyhow
#7
Yeah good point... yeah ill be driving it around afor around a month and then its going into the shop to get the motor redone, ill have all the necessary parts for a 98+ conversion and have it painted before they drop the motor back in... Im going with a two-tone either silver body paint with black trick like the hood scoop or true blue pearl as the body with black trim
#9
yeah silver/black seems to played out... plus with blue and black i can do the black corvette c5 rims with blue calipers or something
