I'm going to be looking at buying a 1995 street/strip Camaro z28 this saturday and i was wondering what are some things to look for? car has draglites and 4.56 gears and is said to run a 8.3 in 1/8 motor. i'm looking to do a gear swap to 3.73s and make it a quartermile street strip car. but what are some things to look for damage wise from abuse? im coming from the foxbody mustang world so haha this is all new for me. http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/5...t25u5a5qbe.jpg

well if its built the way you say,,, its been abused. that said look it over like you would any other auto purchase.

 

well i understand that, I just wasn't sure if there were certain areas to pay closer attention too like maybe torque boxes or cracks were the seats bolt to the floor etc.

 

lol yah you would want to look more from underneath. like you say cracks in housings on the torque side, its hard to tell on alot of the issues without taking things apart though you should be able to get a general idea of the length of abuse by observation.

 

just wondering, how much are you paying for the car?

 

im trading it for a 2005 trx450r fourwheeler plus $300 so I guess that is about $3500 or so if i had the cash.

 

like craby said hard too tell. id look for oil in places lik infront of the rear see if the pinion is leekin at all. without tearin into it i think itd be hard to tell most major problems unless u can hear them
