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.

Short answer, had enough of car projects the other night after fighting with the Corvette. Working on stuff isn't as much fun as it used to be and trying to get the Corvette done has me thinking that I need more space or fewer cars.

And....(longer answer):

We are wanting to start looking at property and I don't really need the second project car (and we're shooting enough matches these days that I don't need so many expensive hobbies/projects). It's fun and it's running spectacularly well. It's been fun to drive another LSx F-body for a while (and I always wanted a Sunset Orange SS). The front Koni's are going to be nearly $800, rears are a couple hundred more. Shifter, fidanza flywheel and Centerforce clutch (while I'm in there), plus springs and rear suspension parts. My plan is to set it up just like my 2002 Z28 (which had all of those things) and I don't know if I want to dedicate the money to this on top of the million dollars I have in the Corvette (which might just get finished after all). I considered parting out the Corvette, but figured it was easier to sell this one (more marketable).

So, it doesn't have to leave...but if a buyer pops up I'll send it to a new home (I may finish the Corvette and sell it too if a buyer comes along).

You should buy it. You KNOW you want one! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Besides, it's your turn to buy a Camaro from me. I bought yours the last time. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif)

Nobody needs a nice SS? I'd like to sell it before it snows and I store it for the winter.

This is very tempting, even though I do not need another Camaro. Did you have any exterior shots?

It comes with a set of chrome ZR1 wheels (there are no tires on them) so these pics are current and of the car on an old set of Corvette wheels. I can mail higher resolution photos to anyone interested.

I can vouch for it being a nice car - if I had room for it, it might be in my garage.

You can deliver it - I just can't pay for it...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm going to be throwing a ton of money at Linda's truck in the 18-24 months. Need to get it finished.....

I understand. I have a Corvette to finish and I'm wanting a 4wd truck (trade in the Jeep). I'm trying to talk the wife into letting me trade this in on a new car for her (and sell off her car). If it doesn't sell I may just trade the SS and the Jeep in for a 4wd pickup. That fixes my "too many cars and not enough parking places" issues all in one shot. I'm really hoping to send it to a good home before I get to that point.
