well i sold my 1997 f-150, i actually got a little more than i was expecting for it too :) i had been looking around for a late sixties early seventies muscle car, my DREAM car has always been any year from 1967-1972 camaro, but with the prices on them these days i didn't think i'd be able to get my hands on one, but i searched anyway. I ended up finding the perfect car at an unbelievable price, 1972 Camaro w/ 350ci munsi 4 speed manual, and a lot of work already done to it, for $3700 :cool: this will be a great fun project car and my wife told me to put the difference in what i was plannin on spending on this car and what i actually got it for straight in to the car, i love her, :) i will post more later, i have to go out and start playing right now, i love walking into the garage now, 1994 camaro z28, 1972 camaro, 2 2005 r1's

nice man. how about some engine specs...
We pulled the motor out of my buddies camaro last weekend as the crank bearings are shot. We are putting in a custom Ed Curtis grind cam that is somewhere around 230/234 duration on a 111 LCA. Its going to lope like crazy. also adding 918 springs, roller rockers, hardened push rods and such. Last week we stopped early as i was talking off the oil pickup tray and when the bolt came loose my hand hit the main cap pretty hard and took out a nice big deep chunk of skin.
If you ever need help wrenching let me know. I know my Chevy Gen I,II,and III engines pretty well

Not a huge fan of the body style, but a nice find none the less :D
I'm looking to get a late 80's to early 90's Camaro for a race car. I like the body on those (I'm told their ugly, but hell, I like the offbeat cars hehe)

yea i had an 86 t-tops, 5 speed, lots of fun and i loved that body, i always wanted this body style tough, id go with 91 or 92 if you want that body style and be prepared to replace EVERYTHING, i'd put a new electrical harness in it right away

you wouldnt have happened to be in the Fry's parking lot in Glendale today would you?

Yeah, I was thinking a 92 z28 or an I-ROC (Cause the body kit Chevy put on it is teh sex :P )
And I'd drop a 350 LT1, the same motor in my Impala (Hell, if I had my way, it'd GET the Impala motor and the Imp would get a 454 or even a 572, but alas, money) and probably end up redoing all the wiring to go with it. Then work on suspension.
Of course, this is all big talk for a kid with no money :(
