im in the gainesville florida area and there is a car in town with 95K miles on it. he says the engine had a blown bearing from the last kid who used it, he only put under 1000 miles on it, so the dad returned the car to the local dealer. the mechanic / dealer then got a 80K lt1 engine from the orlando area and put it in.

the body looks good, it has a new - with in a couple years, maybe 2 at most - tan covert top.

i dont care too much about the extra wing, under lights, 6 inch sub / cd player jazz, and crappy white / clear rear lights (i will get rid of those) that the asian son put on the car.

i just want to know a fair price for a car like this, and if there is any way to tell if the "new" engine really had 80K miles ect.

also, if any of you out there know if this 95 cov 6spd z28 is known to have any problems, major or minor, and if its just a good guy at all.

see, it seems the 1996 ss or z28's all are over priced with the 30th aniversary tag on them. i'm a damn college kid who doesnt want to afford double the price, unless these 1995's aren't worth it / time / money / effort to keep them running.

thanks for your tips guys, or if you have one of these for sale have a price / value you would suggest

 

a 95 is pretty much exactly the same as a 96-97. There are slight differences such as being OBD1 instead of OBD2, but mechanically, they are the same.

 

so are they good cars? will this car drop out on me in the near future, or like the alt, the transmission (i heard someone say it was T56) will that stuff go and cost me more money in the future because its a 95? or was it pretty solid car.

 

if you keep the car well maintained then you shouldn't have any problems with it. With that being said, any car will fail on you if you don't take car of it. It doesn't matter what make, model, yea the car is.
