looking for camaro.....

[Moe Man]

well i am starting to look at camaros between the years 94-97 if it is a 94 95 i would like it to be convertable and if it is 96 97 i want it t-top just cuz i am low on money oh and i want a V8

what should i look for when looking at a camaro, how can i tell if it has been baged on?

and do you guys know what are good prices for these cars?

[Wildcat]

just look on canadatrader, its prices seem to fall into the norm

[Moe Man]

i seen prices from 5 000 to 14 000 it doesnt make sence

[Wildcat]

5000 = kid owned and bagged to death
14000 = middle aged man owned and babied

Camaros (and Mustangs) are tough to buy used unless you know how the owner(s) drove them. The 6 cyl cars are also super cheap (and super slow).

If you can't afford the SS get the Z28 that's a 5 litre. V8
but if you see on the canadatrader that the camaro says RS on it dont' get that because that's a V6 model.... but the best bang for your buck is buying the z28 just buy that and put the BORLA Exhaust system to begin with wow that car will sound awesome..

Also a 5000 camaro can be a V6 camaro
and a 14000 camaro can be an SS that's really babied

suck it up for a 98. 1st year of the LS1.

305s went out with the 92s. Newer than that it's either a 3.8v6, a 5.7 LT1 or a 5.7 Ls1.

[Moe Man]

cant get the ss but i just came back from seeing a 91 special edition z28 t-top pwr seats windows the hole nine yards 211 km

sounds unreal and very powerfull for 2000 more and my car

try a 5.7L, the ss and z28 both have the same engine (93-97= Lt1, 98+ =Ls1)

a 91? your looking at an IROC? saweet, now you can be like that guy on the radio show. haha jk

[Moe Man]

lol no but it caught my eye, the only way i will take a 92 style is if it is convertable

a convertable iroc is a rare gem, especially a 92 (last of the 3rd gen). good luck tho :thumbsup:

[Moe Man]

ya i know, but i will give it a try

[africano]

only thing you have to watch with the 3rd gen camaro's are there's a 305 and 350 TPI engines, the 350 only came with the 700-R4 automatic transmission. So if you want stick you have to go with the 305(5L).

'87 was the first year for TPI (Tuned-Port Injection), but i would go with a minimum of '88 since that's the year they switched over to serpentine belts. Procharger makes sweet supercharger kits for these cars but only for 88 on, since the belts changed.


Good luck.

[Moe Man]

are you serious......shit man i thought you can get the 5.7l TPI in a manual, can you make sure of this? if they dont then i have to go with the 4th gen t-top

[africano]

I know this for a fact, but you can do a T-56 swap pretty easy man I'll post you a link.

[africano]

bingo, good old google

Don't have to man, know my 3rd gens. Was suppose to be my first car over a year ago. Learned everything there was to know about them (almost), never owned one, but still. :cry:

[Moe Man]

know wonder every 90+ camaro was a auto, i am not prepared to swap trannys cuz this will only be for the summer, well i am just going to have to keep looking for 93+ camaro LT1.

how much do you think a 93 or 94 LT1 with fair km is, i am thinking around the range of 8000-9500?
