i was pulling in the parking lot at the shop and seen a camaro sitting out front. naturally as a chevy guy i had to go look at it. it looked like it was keyd all around and i thought to my self, awww **** not another paintjob. later on that day i was getting ready to clock out i was shooting the **** with the foreman and he told me it was a total loss. the next morning i went out to get a better look at it and everything was scratched, the wheels, all the glass including the t-tops every pannel, you name it, it was scratched. looked like they used a big screwdriver. after talking to the owner he told me he would sell it for 1000$.i told him i'll try to scrape that up over the weekend. on monday i was in the paintbooth sprayin and went out to look at it between coats i saw the rollback going down the street with it and thought wtf there it goes. quick called the owner and told him they took it already, he said he didn't release it to the ins co yet so it took another week to get it back. but i think i got a good deal for a grand. probably lookin at another couple hundred to repaint everything. what do you guys think?

welcome to the forum!!!

 

looks like a nice save for the money. post more pics when you can. welcome to the forum.

 

thanx for the welcome, it has a few mech bugs to work out like oil drippin out the filler neck at high rpm but it runs like a champ.

 

Sounds like a scorned lover's car to me!! For $1K you really might have found a good deal. Welcome to the forums!

 

Good save.

 

thanx i was thinkin about painting it and reselling to make a couple grand but after driving it for the week end i think shes a keeper.

 

Welcome. Nice star fish.

 

welcome nice car!

 

so i was talkin to the prev owner the other day and he was telling me the john hancock under the hood was from the gm engineer that designed the camaro....
