Looking for 2nd Gen Camaro/Firebird I have 40K cash

[bluetrim]

I just do not have time to work on projects anymore and want a nice car to drive. I am in the market for a 2nd Gen Camaro or Firebird/TA. Must have LS and air conditioning.
40K$ cash in hand
Thanks!

Awesome. I'm in the same boat man, although my budget isn't quite as large as yours.
"Following", in order to see how a thread like this works out.
I hope you find what you're looking for, and I'll tag-along, just to see how things work out.
Rock on brother.

Have a turbo trans am Pace car (1980) w/LS2 that meets your entry requirements and a whole lot more. Also a 73 Z28 but needs about a week to finish... which I don't have either..

2nd gen went from 70-81, what year bracket are you looking for? Location?

Sorry should have specified. I am looking for a 70-73. Thanks

Haven't found anything yet. I am located in Houston.

My car is almost out of the paint shop and will be available soon.

[bimmen325]

It will be solid torch red, no black stripe.
Roof, upper quarter panels and rear deck replaced.

I still love that car.

Won’t be too special for 40k. My paint alone was 30k. LS 3 416 with Eforce added 33k. These are are very costly to build.

In his original post, he mentioned that he "wants a nice car to drive", not necessarily a "nice paint job to drive".
With all due respect, I get where he's coming from. He can either spent 40,000 on a new Toyota Camry ("kill me"), or he can drive a cool Gen2 Camaro.
No need to tell him that his car isn't "trailer queen worthy" like yours is, since you've got over 70,000 in paint, engine, and transmission.

I still can't believe that red bird is for sale. I'd sell my black one but its 466 Pontiac with Holley terminator injection and 6 speed. I'm finding I don't have time for one project let alone the 3 I have now, the house, work, and kids sports. Crazy

[bluetrim]

I sent several pm’s about the red one but never heard anything back.
I’m still looking. Preferably one without a 30K$ paint job.

My car is still in the body shop, finally got all the metal work completed and its going to be in primer by the end of the week, completed in two weeks if everything goes well.

You should list it for sale before you paint it. Give the buyer a chance to pick the color themselves. Just a thought, because I'd be way more interested in it in a color other than red, and I might not be alone in that...

I actually bid on that one at Mecum in Houston a few weeks ago. I was outbid by the guy (dealer) who is selling it on ebay now. He is asking 13K more than he paid for it.

Same sh*t different day. So tired of these dealers grabbing these cars cheap and trying to turn around and ask 10k+ more for them...
