K2Spitfire15's 1985 Chevrolet Camaro


Well, this is the beginning of the end for a very long project. I bought the car for $250 with putting a lot of time and money into it in mind. Not this much time or as much money as I have into it. But that is the way it goes, it has been a great learning experience and my next car, either a 66 GTO or a 69 SS Camaro, will go a lot smoother. Oh, and they will have high output big block V8s. This car took a lot of body work and a lot of other work I didn't know it needed in the beginning, such as rust hols in the floor boards, all new wheather striping, etc. But I alway knew I wanted it black. I would love to do something sweet with the paint, but I cant decide what. I will have pictures of the finnished car as soon as it is finnished, in a few weeks...
Specs:
Engine: 2.8L V6: Bored .30 over: Performance Cam
Rear Gear: 3.42 I think

This is the eye sore that I originally bought, I re-built the engine in my auto shop class, spent many days skipping language to work on it.

This was a big surprise, rust spots that had to be removed via saws all, and replaced w/sheet metal.

Sanding this whole thing down was quite the chore.

Hey i got that 88 you were looking at it has a 2,8l v6 and well ill throw in a bare 350 4 bolt main block that i got for the project i just ran out of funds. i will sell it for between 600 and 650 if your willing to go that high, or as low as 550. i paid 1600 for the car and 300 for the block. im willing to make you a deal because i really cant afford to keep paying the insurance on it and well in my state you have to have insurance on any car in your drive way. just check it out you wont be dissapointed.


If you know anyone that is looking for a 3rd gen project or just a parts car let me know and que them in on this hot deal, you get.

You will get 1 1988 chevrolet camaro sc with a 2.8l 173c.i. v6 4spd auto t-top camaro with a bare 350 block a spare set of tops almost new interior, and the only problem that we know of is a small fuel tank problem that can easily be fixed.
