I once again am going to sell a car that I searched for a long time for but I am drooling over another purchase opportunity so this one gets put on the chopping block. I do not have to sell it but it would make life easier if i could. My price is my bottom dollar and I will not go lower. I do not like to bs with sales. If you want it at this price then lets talk.


$8000
913-915-1906
Located in Overland Park, KS 66204


This car had the guts of an '00 Z28 completely transplanted in. The engine, trans, a.i.r. (now removed but included), exhaust manifold and cats(also removed), body harness, door latches, seats, instrument cluster, headlight switch, hvac controls, twilight sentinel (the headlights turn themselves on and off on an 88 Cutlass!), power distribution center, fog lights and switch.


Body: Unknown mileage but appears to be very low mile. Car and frame are completely rust free except for a small hole directly above the left exhaust tip. You have to look at the flat bottom edge to see it. The paint is original and the hood is faded. Very solid sleeper.


Engine: 2000 Camaro LS1. 33k miles. The longblock is completely stock. 2 weeks ago I removed the stock manifolds, cats, air pump, egr and stock intake to install Flowtech ceramic long tubes, mandrel bent 3" exhaust and an LS6 intake. Flowmasters. MSD wires. Fab'd cold air intake that goes to a custom air filter box behind the left grill, mounted using stock f body mounts


Transmission: 33k miles, Monster Stage 2 Clutch with 92 miles on it at the moment, new billet Monster 28lb flywheel, new GM throwout bearing, roller pilot bearing, PRO 5.0 sjifter with a white Hurst ball, Denny's driveshaft


Rearend is a 7.5/ 7 5/8" 10 bolt, Eaton posi, 4.10 gears, Moser 28 spline axles, LS1 rear brakes with working parking brake


Rear suspension: It is a completely kick ass 3 link with a fab'd welded in Watts link. The adjustable upper 3rd link has a heavy gage box welded under the rear seat. Has adjustable coil over springs, QA1 adjustable shocks, Speedway Engineering splined anti roll bar, all greasable spherical rod ends so no clunking at all.


Front suspension: This is the description from the company that made the kit which cost $2700! http://scandc.com/old/g5.htm
SC&C’s exclusive G-5 package is a quantum leap forward in performance suspension and braking for the G-body/Metric chassis (’78-’88 Monte SS, Grand National, 442, Malibu, etc.). Custom CNC Machined C-5/C-6 Corvette steering knuckles and world class 13”/dual piston C-5 brakes combined with Pole Position Racing fully adjustable tubular upper control arms and 7075 T-6 CNC billet steering arms work in concert to totally revise the suspension and steering geometry as well as provide truly outstanding braking capability. Enjoy 2.5” reduction in ride height, revised camber curves, raised roll center quicker steering, a reduction in unsprung weight and razor sharp responsiveness with G-5.
Also has tubular lower control arms.


Wheels are 17x9 front and rear with 275/40 rear and 245/40 on the front. Good tread still.


Brand new $230 Alpine head unit, mid/high in front dash center vent, MTX roll cage mounted rear speakers and a 10in sub. The system sounds perfect.


CEL is on due to an egr code not getting programmed out. Will be fixed soon.


This car is my daily driver. I drive my 6 year old around in it all the time. It is very reliable and fun to drive.

I realize the price is not cheap and it it doesn't sell and it will remain my daily driver. The sum of the parts is way more than 8k. I realize it's just a G Body but for the right person this could be exactly what they want for a weekend road race car or just a fun DD.

33k mile LS1 T56 is easily worth 4k.
here is a 100k+ mile set up that sold for $4100 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Camaro-Trans-Am-LS1-Engine-w-Manual-T56-6-Speed-Transmission-157k-/380480483947?hash=item589667726b&item=380480483947&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

Clutch $650
Driveshaft $350
Eaton posi, gears, axles, LS1 brakes $1200
3 Link and Watts (not including all of the fab labor) $1000
Front brakes $2700
Cage $800
Headers $500

So there is over $11,000 in just a few parts not including the swap labor, retrofiting the body harness, all of the frame fabrication (there is a LOT), trans crossmember, exhaust, fuel system ETC.
Like I said I do not need to sell the car. Just had my eye on something else. I will not give this away.
