got to throw in some more information. What year? What motor? Asking price? mileage? pros and cons of the car?

 

1ts an 87 with 90000 miles a 350 in it

hes trading for my truck which i was asking 2500 for

 

well, I'll tell ya what. It all depends on if you want it or not. Last year at the Bristol Super Chevy show, I seen a restored (with pics of the build up) Red on black 350 TPI car. Beautiful go for $4500

What do you think? Is there any rust in it? Is the body straight? Have you driven it? How does it run? Tire Condition? Hard for me to tell alot about it through that video. Personally I dont like the looks of the non-gfx cars. IMO, if everything was perfect on it, paint, tires, trans, motor, then I wouldnt give over 2k. But that is personal preference not actual worth.

post up on www.thirdgen.org for some better price quotes.

 

whats non gfx mean im a total noob

 

It means no ground effects. looks like a decent car even though it's from MN. Not completely rusted away, like most. I bought my 88 IROC with a 305/5 speed for 2100. Had more miles on it, but doesn't really matter after 20k imo. Unless it's pristine. I'd pay no more than 800-1200. unless there is work done on it that you haven't posted up. It's not a z28 or iroc, and therefore worth much less. The interior is busted up a bit and it would look like the car has not been taken of from the belt whine and dirty interior. Sell your truck for 2500, if it is really worth it, and put the money toward a nicer camaro (2500 would get you a lot nicer RS for instance) or a newer more fuel efficient car. If your pick-up is worth 2500 you're gettin ripped.
Good Luck!

 

It shouldn't have any significant rust on it for $2500. Note that it has an old interior and has lost it's original powertrain. It's been converted to an old-school, non-computer controlled 350, circa about 1975 technology. It might be fast, it might be slow, you really can't tell by the idle, which is set to about 1200 RPM to cover bogs and such. Gas mileage will probably not be the best. The suspension & brakes: Any good? I dunno... The steering will most likely be a bit slow, springs a bit soft. I'd offer $1500.

 

when you say non computer controlled that means its gonna be a sloppy gas sucking pig right

 

It should be in almost mint shape for that price

 

not necessarily, but a fuel injected car would get better mpg.

have you tried thirdgen.org yet?
