Well im gonna go pick up my new camaro tommrow, everything looks good, body is perfect and the interior is pretty clean. Its only a v6, but I will probably save a decent ammont of money on gas. Its a 94, black with grey interior, t-tops, 120,000 miles and I was able to talk the guy down to $2100. This is going to be my 5th camaro, I plan to get the IROC back on the road by next summer.

the 3.8 didnt come out until 95 in california if im not mistaken, and in 96 it was everywhere. 94s had the slower 3.4, but for a beater car to save gas money, its a helluva lot better than driving a honda or something

good luck!

I'd put the wrecked Camaro back together yourself, and skip the insurance company hassle. Trust me, between the deductible and the increase in rates it ends up like you just spread the cost of repairs out over about 3 years. It's no bargain.

A rear axle and related stuff (you almost certainly tweaked the track bar and probably more) is super cheap from a junkyard. Install is easy, assuming you didn't tweak the frame or any of the rear suspension "hard points".

Front fenders, hoods, nose-cones, etc. are actually very easy to replace with common hand tools assuming you didn't bend the inner fender (that the outter fender bolts onto) or any of the front subframe components that they all bolt onto. I did this on my brother's 85 Z-28 when someone decided to have fun with it by releasing the hand brake and rolling it down a hill into a 3 week old Buick. What is it with Buicks always wanting to mate with Camaros?

Well I just got the 94, and your right it is a 3.4. The only thing that concerns me is that at an idle it only has around 10 psi of oil pressure. Is this normal for and engine with 126,xxx miles on it? The needle is hanging just above the redline. As for my iroc, I got an estimate from my buddy who is a body guy and he said it could easily come out to $2000 to fix it. So I guess Im just going to part it out. After I graduate and start working full time (december?) I will be in the market for another 3rd gen.
