Looking for the nicest LT1 car I can find for 6K
So show me who has the nicest available LT1 car for $6,000. I would like it to be a Camaro but will look at Trans Am / Formula cars also if very nice. Would like it to be a M6 car but will look at an automatic car also if very nice. Let's see them!

Re: Looking for the nicest LT1 car I can find for 6K
I'd part with my TA for $6K. All the below work has been done within the last 5 months/6K miles.
1995, M6, 140K miles. Blue-green chameleon, with graphite leather. NO rust Florida car.
Paint has been redone at some point, not sure how long ago, but it is still in very nice condition. It was a good quality respray from what I can tell. Probably about a 7 out of 10 overall as it sits now.
Mechanically mostly stock other than longtube headers/magnaflow muffler, and K&N cold-air. Also has B&M shifter.
Added rear-view mirror with compass/outside temperature display, plus retained map lights.
New alternator
New valvesprings and retainers, Intake manifold re-sealed (infamous LT1 problem)
New 24# injectors
Just rebuilt the front-end (all new Moog parts, nothing cheap), plus LS1 brake swap with new rotors and pads on all 4 corners. Fresh fluid.
MilleMiglia 17" wheels (made in Italy). Nearly new BFG tires.
Rebuilt headlight motors with metal gears.
new Bilsteins all around.
LS1 aluminum driveshaft
Poly motor mounts, new rubber trans mount.
New water pump/thermostat/hoses
New plugs & wires
New O2 sensors
New Knock sensor
Fresh fluid in the T56 and rear end, new gasket.
Leather has its expected age cracks/seam separation. Still very presentable, I've seen much worse out there. Console and dash and door panels in excellent condition. New shifter boot retainer ring (pic below is before this was installed)
AC is ice-cold.
T-top sunshades, no leaks, new headliner.
Kenwood head unit, upgraded speakers with amp, JL stealthbox in rear cubby hole. Lots of sound deadening added in.

Re: Looking for the nicest LT1 car I can find for 6K
If still looking I might be selling my 97 Z28 with 98K miles on it
It is perfectly straight all original engine with M6
Driveline has been upgraded from Transmission through driveshaft.T56 was just rebuilt (5 miles on it) by TICK with Viper 2nd, new bearings plus the other upgrades they do on all their rebuilds. McCleod Clutch Plate mated to a new stocker, new hydraulics, upgraded HD 3" precision balanced driveshaft, skip-shift eliminator, short shifter.
