1996 Camaro Z28 SS No. 15 ($4000)
Up for sale is my 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS. It is SS number 15, has 177k miles, and is a six speed manual (car in sig). Asking $4000
Modifications/repair: Pacesetter headers/y-pipe (w/EGR), LTCC ignition conversion with MSD LS1 blaster coils, electric water pump, Lou’s short stick, LT4 knock module, AIR system removed, newer battery tray/coolant overflow, new battery, new fuel injectors, newer optispark, Trick Flow intake elbow, throttle body air foil, throttle body coolant bypass, K&N air filter (ram air), K&N oil filter, Royal Purple oil (freshly changed), Hurst shift ****, tinted windows, and practically new spark plugs/wires (less than 1k miles).
Options: limited slip axle (no traction control), CD player, Bose system, t-tops, leather interior, and pw windows/locks. It comes with 2 sets of floor mats (one set has Z28 SS embroidered, never used), car cover, t-top shades (not installed), SS documentation, SS plate key chains, and SS plate on console.
The paint is decent, there are few small scratches, the rear bumper is somewhat faded, and there is a small paint gouge in the driver front fender. The interior is clean and in great shape, there is a little bolster wear on the driver seat, and a crack in the dash pad.
I have all original parts and about 98%+ of documentation for repairs/parts/etc including those of the previous original owner. I also have a brand new LuK clutch never used or installed, spare valve covers in great shape, extra water pump, manual fan switch not installed, headlight covers not installed, extra driver side windows/lock/mirror panel with modules, LT1 cam/water pump/crank seal install kit, spare stock LT1 cam, and spare LT1 block. You will probably need a truck or SUV for some of the parts, particularly the spare block and stock exhaust.
The only major problem appears to be a worn cam lobe on the exhaust side of cylinder #7. The rocker appears visually and feels that is doesn’t travel as far as the others. This causes the car to miss when it gets warm or during city driving. When on the highway, it seems to clear up and run normal most of the time. I think this is the problem but I don’t have the time or money to do things I wanted to do (rebuild block for boost). It will also need 2 font tires soon and the driver side window/lock/mirror panel will not stay set in the door. I have a few extra parts that should fix it. The air conditioning isn't working but I think it just needs recharged as the compressor runs fine.
I have always run a K&N oil filter with either Mobil 1 or Royal Purple, and a bottle of fuel system cleaner each oil change. I usually try to run Sunoco 94, but have also run 93. I have used only Zaino products (wax, tires, interior), but haven’t clay bar’d/waxed it since late last year. I did have it dyno’d when it was completely stock and have the dyno print out (271 hp & 301 lb ft).
I bought the car on eBay from a Ferrari, Porche, and Maserati dealer in Greensboro, NC with around 127k miles on it. I was told the previous owner (original owner) traded the car in on a $200k Maserati. It looks as though they bought and paid for the car well before it was produced, which can be seen from the documentation and the low SLP number (15). Based on the extensive service records, it appears that it was well taken care by the previous owner.
Some older pictures, will try to get new ones when the weather clears up:

hasnt got back to me, and if he doesnt I,m gona bite on yours. His needs a TUNE and yours Needs a Cam. Both very workable.
Is the Cam Lobe damage detremental to the engine therefore needing the Block that comes with it?? Or could I just Swap in a new Cam maybe lifters and Push Rods and call it good?? Or is this not a good Idea??
I,m in Northwest Ohio so your not very far. I also have trailer access if need be.

Would probably just need the cam, I think its just worn enough that there isn't as much lift as there used to be. Doesn't need the block, I just got it to look into building a boosted setup and still keep the original parts unmodified.

I won't be ready tomorrow due to the little things I need to do on top of job hunting, since I was recently laid off. I should be able to have everything ready by Saturday morning/mid day.
