Since I am now officially sans F-body I figured I may as well clear out a few parts sitting on the shelf in the garage. All parts are for a 4th gen F-body.

1. Brand new in box blainefab powdercoated reinforced front sway bar brackets, $90 shipped in continental US or best offer.

2. Autopower bolt-in rollbar in very nice shape with plates and hardware, paid $300 asking $200 obo. Prefer local pickup due to size.

3. AAM cast aluminum rear differential cover for stock 10-bolt. Good condition with a couple small scrapes on the bottom edge, asking $75 shipped obo in continental US.

Thanks for looking!

I purchased this car in the spring with intentions of restoring it and keeping it, but my plans have changed and nowI've realized that I don't have the time or money to restore it. I need the garage space so I'm basically giving the car away. It's worth far more than my asking price in parts if nothing else, but it would make a great street/DE car.

The Hennessey RS330 camaro was based on a 1994 B4C Police Package Camaro. This particular car is the only one they built as far as I know. This particular car was also featured in Motor Trend, Hot Rod, and Car Craft magazines in 1994/1995. I have copies of the magazines that will go with the car. I have an email from John Hennessey confirming that this is the same car based on the VIN number.

The RS330 package consisted of a cold air intake, camshaft, headers, borla exhaust, and 3.73 gears in the rear end. Additionally, the car was equipped with Bilstein shocks, eibach springs, and Baer brakes as well as 17x9.5: Gotti 2-piece wheels, and Hennessey Motorsports subframe connectors.

The car still has the correct cold air intake on it. The previous owner upgraded the engine to a 383 stroker. I will edit this later to get the complete specs on the motor, but essentially it has the following:
- Callies forged crankshaft
- 4-bolt main block
- Heads & intake ported, 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust Manley stainless valves
- Edelbrock short headers
- Borla cat back exhaust with an electronic cutout
- New TRW forged pistons
- New camshaft (.574" lift IIRC)
- 1LE intake elbow
- 58mm BBK throttle body
- Granatelli mass air flow sensor
- larger fuel injectors
- Canton Racing road racing oil pan
- PCM was tuned by Doug Rippie Motorsports for the modified engine specs.
The rest of the drivetrain consists of the original T-56 6-speed gearbox with a newer Spec 3 clutch backed by an LS1 aluminum driveshaft, and the stock 10-bolt rear differential with new 3.42 GM gearset and torsen T2 differential.

The interior is in good condition, and appears to all be intact. The PO did add a Doug Rippie Motorsports roll bar to the interior of the car.

The suspension and brakes have also been upgraded as follows:
- LG motorsports tubular adjustable upper A-arms
- LG motorsports tubular adjustable lower control arms (rear)
- LG motorsports tubular double-adjustable panhard rod
- Koni DA front and Koni SA rear shock absorbers with a ground control front coilover setup, and rear ground control weight jacks for corner balancing the car.
- Sway bars were upgraded, although I don't recall the brand.
- Front brakes were upgraded to brand new C5 Z06 brakes with red calipers, new rotors and stock Z06 pads.

I have the original 17x9.5 Gotti wheels for the car, although then need to be refinished as the clearcoat on the aluminum has seen better days.
Currently, the car is sitting on 18x9.5 Halibrand Grand Sport wheels with 285/35ZR18 Sumitomo HTRZII tires, all brand new. I also have three extra Halibrand Grand Sport wheels NIB that will be included.

The previous owner had an accident with the car which resulted in the following damage to the car:
- cracked front bumper cover (support underneath is fine)
- cracked or scraped front fenders
- tweaked the front edge of the hood
- driver's door was damaged (I have a replacement already on the car)
- driver's rear quarterpanel was damaged (I have an NOS GM replacement that will be included.)
- passenger rear quarterpanel has a couple dents, but I don't know if they occured at the same time. These should be able to be repaired.

Basically the car requires new front fenders, a new front bumper cover, new hood, installation of the NOS rear quarterpanel on the drivers side (easy job on camaros) and repair of the passenger rear quarterpanel, and then a fresh paint job.

The chassis appears to be straight. The PO had the car checked at an alignment shop and the front alignment was off just a tick, but that can easily be adjusted with the upper A-arms. The steering rack may have been damaged in the accident as it feels like it's grinding internally. I have a perfect low mileage replacement that will be included with the car.

The car still has the 1997 texas inspection stickers on it, and I believe was always a texas car until it came to Michigan, where it was stored winters. There is no rust anywhere in the car.

As is with both sets of wheels (the halibrands & tires cost me $1300), the NOS rear quarter panel ($800+ new), and extra steering rack I would like to get $6500 for the car. Once I have time to repair it and have it painted the price will go up depending on my cost. I think $6500 is a giveaway price considering how rare this car is. It is bound to be a collector car some day down the road, and the only one of it's kind with the documentation proving it.
I well reduce the price by $800 without the 18" Halibrand wheels.
I will try to post some pictures when I have time in the next couple days. Please post here or email with any questions. Thanks!

I am trying to clean out my garage/basement and have a few items to get rid of. I am open to reasonable offers on any of these items. I'll knock off a few bucks for local pickup on the larger items to help with gas prices and for the added convenience on my end.

1. Corbeau FX-1 seat, black. Very good condition and were only used for some DE's last year. The seat has a cut in the fabric on the outside left edge from a parking brake handle in the Porsche 944 I had them installed in, but other than is in great shape. Asking $175 obo, plus shipping, but would prefer local pickup.

2. Momo alloy side mount brackets, 2 pairs. Asking $150 for both sets or $85 for each set individually, plus shipping.

3. B&M oil cooler with 1/2"npt female fittings, used but in good condition, asking $50 plus shipping obo.

4. Autopower 4-point bolt-in track rollbar, excellent condition. Purchased from an FRRAX member for $300, asking $200 prefer local pickup due to size, may be able to deliver part way.

5. Blainefab powdercoated reinforced from sway bar mounts for 4th gen, never installed, asking $90 shipped in CONUS obo.

6. CROW 6-point camlock harnesses (two complete harnesses), red. Purchased new last year (dated 2007), used for just a few DE/AX events, paid $350 or so for the set, asking $275 plus shipping obo.

9. AAM cast aluminum rear differential cover for F-body 10-bolt, good condition, asking $75 shipped in CONUS.

10. ST 35-36mm sway bar with brackets (no end links), asking $75 plus shipping.

11. Halibrand 18x9.5 Grand Sport wheels (NLA) with brand new 285/35ZR18 Sumitomo HTRZ-II tires. These are really nice wheels, I have a set of four with tires mounted, and three extra brand new wheels in the boxes that will be included, which is a big plus since these wheels are no longer available. Asking $1150 obo plus shipping, but local pickup would be preferred.

12. 15ft. roll of Jegs pro-flex stainless steel braided -6an hose, new in the package, asking $60 shipped in CONUS obo.

13. Plastic battery box with cables and install kit, excellent condition (looks new), asking $40 obo plus shipping.

Here are a few other items I decided to sell:

1. 275/40ZR17 Kuhmo V700 Victoracers, set of four. These are used, I purchased them from Phil's Tire Service, they were advertised as having more than 50% life left. I am asking $200 (reduced) plus shipping for the set, but would prefer pickup.

2. 3qt. Canton Accusump, mounting brackets, and EPC electronic valve, all brand new in the box. I have decided to go a different direction so I'm letting these go. Asking $325 plus shipping.

3. BMR Driveshaft loop, 1-piece welded design, used with a couple scrapes on the bottom, asking $50 plus shipping.

4. OEM 1LE A/C delete pulley/bracket assembly. Purchased last year from GMPartsDirect, never used. SOLD SOLD SOLD

5. Corbeau FX-1 seats, one regular and one pro (slightly narrower), both black, the regular one has a cut in the cloth on the left outside edge from the E-brake handle in my Porsche 944 I used them in. Other than that they're in good shape. Asking $350 obo, will consider shipping but would prefer pickup.

6. LR 4th Gen camaro quarter panel. I cut this off another car to repair my teal B4C before stumbling onto an NOS panel. I paid $250, asking $100 local pickup only.

7. External oil cooler with -10AN fittings and braided hose. This came off my teal B4C, and is basically set up so all you would need is a canton or moroso oil bypass adapter and -an fittings to hook it up. It is in nice shape, asking $100 firm plus shipping.

8. Momo F-body seat floor mount brackets with double-locking sliders, driver and passenger side, asking $150 obo plus shipping. SOLD SOLD SOLD

Thanks for looking!
