Still for sale. Somebody needs a nice SS. Buy it before it warms up and I change my mind.
I told my wife I was going to sell this AND the Corvette and she reminded me that there was an engine in that Corvette that she got very dirty assembling and she wasn't going to let someone else drive her engine. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

$11,250 No interest? Currently about 35,500 miles on it.
I've been looking, and if I could decide what I wanted to buy I'd just go trade it in. Sadly there's nothing out there I really want to go buy and I'd rather see it go to a good home. |

Amazing price on a low mileage Camaro.

My friend offered to do a The Truth About Cars article on it for me. I told him I'd need to mount the nicer wheels and such first. He then suggested we do an article for one of the national magazines involving a drag race between the SS and a brand new V6 Accord (mostly to illustrate how far the common "grocery getter" has come in recent years). So, if it doesn't sell...it may start to pop up in various car related articles at some point.
The black car in this article is my old 2002... http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009/06/r...let-camaro-ls1/ |

I hated to mark it down that far. At this point, I've owned it for almost a year, put 2k miles on it and I'm paying about $1.15/mile to drive it. I paid $12,800 total and put about $700 in it to get it to actually run and some tasteful mods (adjustable rear sway bar, floor mats, STB, SLP lid, etc). I really figured it would sell pretty easily...but it hasn't.
I always wanted a SOM SS... I guess I'm not going to be too upset if it stays, but I need more space for parking and I have too many projects/hobbies (so I'm thinking it would be smart to sell it). |

I passed this car F/S info along to a friend that has wanted a SOM car, he is in the middle of closing on a house loan, BUT if you still have it after he's done ... I hope he can get it !!!

Thanks! I always did too. A friend had an SOM SS and I'd never seen one before that and I fell in love with that thing. When this one popped up, I knew I was going to buy it. I also planned to "give up" and part out the Corvette....(which didn't happen).

If I had the extra space and spare cash (saving for a house) then I would have loved to take this car off your hands.

I have a serious buyer interested in it and he asked me to dyno it tonight (I have a dyno shop 1000 feet away). 324.5hp and 339.8 ft lbs. Not bad numbers (at least to me). I guessed 323 hp and the first pull was 322.8 hp (my wife just looked at me with that "look"). lol.

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) |

I think it's going to the alignment shop this weekend. The Corvette is getting new tires today and I believe I'll swing by the BMV and pick up new plates for it tomorrow. I either need to find Koni's and springs or a buyer. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
