2001 SOM Camaro SS M6 - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

The highlights of the original ad are quoted here:

QUOTE

Bought the car from the cars first owner who was in his 70's. He died from a stroke. My intent was to make it a track car taking students for training rides on a sport car course. Never happened. Spent too much time on my race car. I bought hardware to do this and I'll include it with the car. If parts are not wanted we can talk less $$ for car.

Adjustable coil overs for front.
Shorter rear springs
Adjustable panard bar [ need when rear is lowered ]
4 New shocks [ already installed ]

I bought the car 6 years ago with 28K miles on the car, it now has 32K miles. Since I have owned it it has been run with Mobil 1 oil. In fact I just changed the oil and filter a week ago.

Kellys Blue Book lists the car for $12.6K

Starting in 2001 all LS1 engines came with LS6 [ again corvette ] intake manifolds without an EGR system.
Advertised HP raised from 310 to 325's with the SS options which is what the car is. Actually probably higher because GM has been know to lie on HP of performance cars.
All 6 speed cars had the corvette ZO 6 clutches.
At 70 MPH on highway with cruise the car gets 26 MPG. Difficult to believe but engine is only turning around 1750 RPM's.
I took the chrome SS wheels off to keep them nice and have corvette wheels on ; both come with the car.

I want $12K for the car and parts. Less if you don't want the parts. I've discounted the price already so don't offer less. I don't ask more than I want so you feel like you got a better deal by talking me down. Ask Pat if you don't believe me.

Price the similar cars on line and you find them priced much more than $12K. I blew two engines in my race car and need $$$$$ for winter rebuild/upgrade for the 2013 season.

I have put approximately 2k miles on this car. Since I purchased it I've done a tune up (plugs, wires and fuel filter) since it didn't run well at all when I picked it up (it runs fantastic now) and I've added an SLP "lid", SLP "SS" floor mats, SLP front license plate bracket, Hellwig 22mm hollow adjustable rear sway bar (to go with the front 35mm bar on the car) and a Spohn strut tower brace. The car also has a Hooker cat back exhaust on it that's in excellent condition (and sounds great without being too loud). (I've likely put over $700 in it since buying it).

It still includes the front upper control arms, rear springs, coil over parts and chrome SS wheels ("ZR1's" with SS center caps, it's currently wearing '91 Corvette "sawblades"). I'll throw in the 5 point Sparco cam lock harness (expired) if you want it. I have a box of monsoon speakers to fix the blown front speakers (I never got around to it, but I have the parts). I have stock a car cover and the Decarbon rear shocks and you can have those too. I have a stock PHB for the car, it's included and I'm sure there's more.

For an extra cost I have a set of new trackbrackets and virtually all the parts for the conversion (add PAB's and brake hoses and you're there). I also have an assortment of front and rear sway bars for a 4th gen, if you need/want other bars we can talk about that too.

$12k

Like I need another hole in my head, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it. The SOM cars have always been one of my favorites. Where are you marketing this car? I can't believe it hasn't sold yet.

Like I need another hole in my head, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it. The SOM cars have always been one of my favorites. Where are you marketing this car? I can't believe it hasn't sold yet. Me too. I ALWAYS wanted an SOM SS (at least after I saw my friends SOM SS and did some work on it for him). I can't believe it's still here either. It was on here, LS1tech and corner carvers. I was trying to avoid the local autotrader thing ("Yea, I'd like to come drive it....I'm...um....interested" and other such nonsense). The Corvette is running and I hope to have it on the ground and moving by the end of the week. I really didn't need both toys and was hoping this would go. I haven't been driving it since I had a buyer. It still has 35,6xx miles on it. And I already sold off the upper control arms and the C5 brake stuff I had for it (since I decided to let it go). I guess if I get stuck with it, I'll be welding in some SLP SFC's soon, a PHB, Global West front control arms, some wheels (that I actually like) and collecting Koni's and springs. I'd really rather sell it....if anyone is intersted. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
