Not good

Well is looks like i'm going to have to part her out i've tried to sell her with everything, and they just seem to like the engine, so i'm parting her out, if you think you may need anything from the sleeper for my avitar let me know.. i'll see what i can do... but for right now there is a list of whats on her so far. Car list page

Just go there and you'll have a pretty good idea of what to look for.... i'm probally going to sell the body too, and the carbon fiber hood as well.

I'm also trying to sell my 1991 v6 camaro, thats in perfect condition, i'm about to repaint it, and she has about 180k miles on her, and runs perfectly.

Once you get everything else pulled out of her I'd be interested in the body minus hood. Can you get more pics of the exterior/interior? Has any suspension work been done? Did you strip all the factory wiring when you switched to carb or is some of it still in place? Thanks,

Did try ebay.. they only wanted to pay 25 hundred for the whole car.. that is not what this car is worth at all, there is only 50 miles on the engine alone... i mean come on... i really don't want to take a hit on it, so i think that selling it part by part is the way to go.. i'll probally part it out from ebay thought.

i sold my tired 91 z through autotrader.com with a beat trans, shabby interior, bald tires and a bunch of other flaws for $4300! then picked up a nice and clean 88 iroc the next day for $3800, what a steal! it took about 2 weeks to sell through autotrader.com, they offer an ad with a picture for $50 and it runs till it sells.

well

One thing that i have noticed since i had it on autotrader, they like the way it looks in the pic.... and then when they come to see it and they see that the paint isn't as good as in the pic..... and they see that there isn't a power steering pump, or heater because it was built to race... not to be a lincoln Continental... they back down...... i'm also trying to sell my other 91 chevy camaro rs.... thats just a v6.... with 181k miles on it...... hom much you think that should sell for?

with the v6 if its runs well and looks like its in pretty good condition it could go for a good price. You have to remember there arent too many people who are die hards who are going to want to buy your v6. For that reason it can go for a fair bit because if it looks nice chances are the person youre selling it to will have no idea what theyre talking about. Id say itd probably go for anywhere bewteen 2000 american if its in mediocre shape to 4 g's if it looks to be in really good shape

it definately has the potential to run good times, but without a time slip, no ones gonna buy anything, no offense, not to be a jackass, but you might wanna say something like ran once for a certain speed/time, I know it's lying but it will definately sell ur car,a nd quite honestly, when I bought my car, it had more in it, including a full superram intake/manifold and strange rears and I only spent 7K on it, it's tough to get money for our cars without perfect showcar quality.
