This car will make a great daily driver or a fabulous platform on which to build your track/race car on. I bought it in March from our very own AndyJ (who did much of the work to get it to where it is today). Too many babies and too much work means I need to jettison some toys so...
95 Camaro T-top car, M6 with ~135k on the clock (almost meaningless, keep reading) Work done by previous owner: Transplanted 50k mile Lt1 New Clutch New fuel pump New PS Pump New coolant reservoir New radiator New water pump New AC system front to back New console New dashpad New windshield New shocks (deCarbons - oh well) New Eagle F1 DS3's Newer T-tops --some small scuffs Upgraded 150mph cluster various replacement interior trim power driver seat Work done by me or Andy since Andy's post on this website: Texas Speed&Performance dual exhaust (mandrel bent w/Dynomax Bullet mufflers...sounds great!) New catalytic converter, passed Cal smog with flying colors in March New air intake tube w/reusable filter (have OE parts) New ripper shifter (have OE shifter) salvage yard LS1 uprights, calipers, rotors (CMC legal!!) New manually adjustable brake bias valve (under the hood) salvage yard LS1 master cylinder ABS delete (idiot light always on) New stainless steel brake lines all around New brake fluid (ATE Super Blue) (with the above you have a perfect CMC legal brake package...the brakes feel awesome) New Alpine head unit, CD, MP3, built in iPod connector for endless tunes salvage yard starter, works perfect Royal Purple synthetic oil, courtesy of Wiley Alexander in Texas New wiper blades Now the bad... - The paint is pretty awful. There are scratches all up and down the car, apparently from a dog walking on it. Some will go away with a thorough compound/polish, but know the paint is pretty bad. - There are 2 or 3 small dents on the quarter panel by the radio antenna - Split on the passenger side front, about 2-3" long - Driver side splash guard - by headlight well is broken and not attached by all conectors. - 2 holes in rear hatch that looks like it had a wing mounted - Windows work -- but slowly - Has '97 tailights - pass side is slightly cracked - Cant get more that 1.1 camber on pass side. There is NO evidence of a wreck, so the most likely culprit is a bent salvage yard sourced upright. This can be fixed either with new upright or by opening up alignment slots Since Andy uhhh...still has pictures on his site (thanks Andy!!!) I'll shamelessly steal them... This fabulous example of F-Body goodness is waiting for you in the San Francisco East Bay and can be had for a low low price ($4,500) |

Al,
Mind if I jump in? I ALWAYS thought this car would be the perfect CMC/Racer project because it was so sound mechanically, drove so well and was 'cosmetically challenged'. I went through the car, Al drove it from TX to NorCal and has gone through the car. I would expect it to be about sorted out. Good luck on the sale! Don't see many M6's any more. |

Any thoughts on a possible delivery to Florida? Bock (thinking about it) Folken |

Well, I don't have plans to head that way any time soon and don't have the time to make a special trip. However, one of my friends here ships cars back and forth across the country all the time. We could make arrangements for you.

Sure seems like a fair price given all the upgrades and everything.
This car would be a daily driver for my 21 year old son so AC needs needs to be good. I noted the post indicates its all new. Sounds mechanically good otherwise. If its not too much trouble, find out from your friend what the cost is to ship. I have a feeling that will be the main problem. Similar stuff around here (never know on condition) seems to run about $5-7K. Bock |

I asked, and the answer depends on how long you're willing to wait to receive it. If you set the departure date you're looking at upwards of $1200. If you're willing to hand over the car and then they wait until a truck going in the right direction has an empty slot (could be upwards of two, three weeks) the $ can come down to around $8-900. Either way you're talking quite a bit of money considering the cost of the car.

Either way you're talking quite a bit of money considering the cost of the car. I was afraid it would be over $500 which makes the deal sketchy for me. Thanks for checking into it. I found out yesterday my $%*^(%& son bought a junk Subaru for $70 and he thinks he is going to fix it and drive it. That makes two undriveable, unregistered, uninsured cars he now owns.... Sheesh. Thanks bock |

Yeah, I would agree that spending this much to ship a car only costing a few grand isn't worth it. Good luck with that Subaru!!
Car is still available guys and gals! |
