94 Z28 M6 White/Black Red Cloth, $2400 o.b.o., IL
Here she is, the one-time love of my life, or what’s left of her, a 1994 Camaro Z28. In one of the biggest disasters of my life, she and I got ourselves into a prime time mess. Fortunately, I made it out unscathed. Unfortunately, she didn’t.
Behold the infamous “Angel.” It doesn’t take a “Fast and the Furious” car to make a name, it’s the driver behind the wheel and the spirit of the car. She had a lot of spirit, but it pains me to say she has lost it. Since this is a public forum where a lot of people will recognize this car (and it’s owner, namely, me), I’m going to stop there.
Though the collision was only at 15 mph, the unshakable landing gear of the parked semi tuck’s tractor trailer did quite a bit of aesthetic damage. The pictures tell that tale in full.
What the pictures don’t tell is that the frame is bent... I think. Four shops told me it wasn’t bent, one told me it was. Even after putting a new engine cradle under the LT1, I say she still pulls a hair when coming to a stop. Could it be the suspension, breaks, or the almost completely bald tires? Maybe. Probably not. Whatever the case, it’s so very slight that at one time I thought it was my imagination, but I’m pretty sure it’s not.
It is because of this slight pull that I would rather sell the car locally to someone dreaming of returning Angle to her former glory. Another front bumper cover and flash panel (says “Camaro,” fits between the taillights) comes with the car. However, restoring this car would not be my recommendation by any means. Sure, I would love to hear that my old Camaro roamed the streets rasing Hell once again, but I just don’t see it as a logical course of action -- at least, not for me. This car would be great for someone looking to buy a complete LT1 six-speed donor car. For the price, I would rather someone consider it a “complete LT1, T56 pull” rather than a running, drivable car, although she does have a spotlessly clean title (that is to say, the car has not been totaled or salvaged).
There is another down side to this car, and it bothers me like no other. It is completely unrelated to the collision, since it began long afterward. The car simply has no power below 2500 RPM. None. In a futile effort to correct this problem, I changed the spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, one O2 sensor, cleaned the MAF sensor, and put a brand new 1LE intake elbow on her. Then I heard about the distributor woes and had the car scanned. Sure enough, the distributor was bad. So, I purchased a complete brand new one and had it installed. None of that helped. It still has a miss right off idle. Jam the pedal to the floor, and it hesitates (or misses) right at the very beginning. The left bank O2 sensor is still bad, but everyone tells me that won’t cause the power loss. Why is the car so doggy down low? If I new, I would be asking more than $2400 for this car because it would be fixed. Could it be a simple fix such as timing or tuning? Yep, and I believe with all my heart that it is. But, could it require the entire engine to be rebuilt? Yep, though I seriously doubt it. Chances are, it’s something simple, but I just don’t know what I’m doing and I guess no one else who has looked at the car does either. It’s so very frustrating to feel like I am on the brink of discovering the problem, but it’s always an inch from my grasp.
The car fires up at the slightest flick of the key, even after sitting for three months. Sounds great, but there are a lot of exhaust leaks. To tell the truth, it would be better just to call the exhaust one big leak. She’ll smoke the tires no problem, but you have to be above 2500 RPM. Doesn’t use (or leak) a drop of oil, though the rear seal looks suspect. The car is bone stock, save for the brand new 1LE intake elbow and the SLP cold air intake system. As far as I know, the clutch is stock. The car has 128,000 miles on the clock. The interior is okay, though it’s dirty. The driver’s side bolster is torn badly (see pictures), but that will come as no surprise to any fourth generation Camaro owner as it is a common problem. The CD player is coming out of the car. As far as I know, the transmission is in near perfect working condition. Shifts and engages very smoothly into all gears even under high load.
That’s about everything I can think to write. It runs and drives just fine, and I would trust her to travel 1000 miles with no problems as she is now. The title is clean and clear and in my possession. But again, for this price, I would rather the buyer consider the car a complete pull rather than a prospect to restore. I may not answer requests about its drivability, because I would rather a person buy this car to use it as a donor. A suggestion would be to buy a 93-97 V6 Camaro and swap the LT1 into it! With the clean title, you could resurrect Angle by changing the VIN number at the same time!
