Well ladies and gentleman, after a long stretch with my 1984 Camaro I'm contemplating parting with it. However, I have no idea how much I should actually ask for it. Blue book is like $1400 but I have more like $12,000 into it including the original $2700 i bought it for.
Here's the low down on the car:
Hood/Drivetrain:
1984 Camaro SC (F41 package)

1985 2.8LV6 bored .020 over in it though
milled heads, Crane Cam/lifters, full rebuild including remanufactured crank, pistons, sealed chrome piston rings; Clevite Timing Chain/Gearset; Hypertech chip/160 deg thermostat; Accel supercoil/plugs/wires; Cold air intake; TB coolant bypass; K&N Filters; Flomaster muffler with dual 2" tips & Walker Hi-Flo cat; a/c compressor is there but not hooked up nor does it work; Centerforce clutch, Hurst shifter (5spd);
Engine now has about 25,000 miles on it;

New shocks/struts; and BMR front and rear swaybars;

American Racing rims;

MTX 325Watt Amp/dual 10" Fosgate Z-Punch subs; tint all the way around on the windows; Kenwood CD Head Unit

Interior: new head liner; needs front carpet kit and passenger side seat needs reupholstering but I have seat covers on as of now; Everything else in the interior is in good overall condition;

Paint job: 7 coats of primer, 5 coats paint, 2 clear coats; (PPG Deltron) done by Sam Red of Lone Star Corvette (Houston, TX)

Paint job cost me $2900 after I had sanded the car down myself so all in all it would have cost about $4500 probably;

Overall the car is in great condition; no oil leaks since engine was rebuilt only 2 years ago; Paint just got touched up so it's almost new; everything else is in great condition minus the small problems in the interior and the fact the a/c is not hooked up nor does it work (needs a complete a/c overhaul and conversion to R-134a)

So does anyone know how much I should start off asking and if need be what's the lowest $$$ I should take. I appreciate it! Included are a few pics of it.

Sell it for 3K, see how it goes, if no buyers, then sell it for less. People dont pay for what u put in the car, thats why modding your car brings down the value.

Hate to say it, but... :(

Really nice looking car you got there! However, unless you find a buyer who appreciates all the time and $$$ you have put into it and wants your car and your car only, you might have hard time to get even $4-$5K out of it.

That could be already pushing it, but who knows... :think:

In any case: Good luck!!! ;)

I'm more hoping to find an enthusiast. Remember, it'll be 20 years old pretty soon so it's not that from from the "collector" age.

mods dont mean crap when you sell a car. and paint is only surface deep.. you may be able to get the 2,700 out of it that you paid for it , but dont get your hopes up for more.

and no offense to your car , but not many collectors want an 84 V6 camaro...

doesn't matter about the engine so much; but the body/paint; perfect especially for throwing another engine into it
