I'm new to Camaro's, I owned a real nice 1967 Pontiac firebird back in the seventies, but I called about a 93 Camaro and i need to go look at it and was wondering if you folks can direct me to what to look out for sort of advice ? Thank you !

 

There's another thread here somewhere ( not to long ago) that has what your looking for.

 

You may have already found what you're looking for, but the places that I have seen the most rust is on the bottom of the door and along the front of the back wheel-well. At least on the older generations, I'm not too sure about the newer models.

 

Look under the car where the front fenders meet the sub frame. It looks like a pinch weld, but it's not. It's common for people to use as a jacking point(even though it says DONT LIFT FROM HERE stamped on the metal). It can't support the weight so it gets crushed, bends the fender outwards, and eventually the crushed metal will rust or rot away.

Guy at a shop did it to me and I made him pay for the repairs, I was super pissed.

 

Thank You ! nothing like a good advice .

 

Don't forget the chassis, little brackets like shock and sway bar mounts rust through pretty quickly.

 

If it is a t-top you need to check the floor pan for the back seat. I have seen several early 4th gens with no floor un the carpet.

 

^^ yes if if it's t-tops lift up all the rug/mats/carpets and feel for dampness.
