I paid 8750 for my 1987 IROC and i've had about three months. I bought a 1985 z-28 three years ago for 6300, and sold it recently for 5500. Both cars were garage queens with under 40,000 miles when purchased and didn't need much work other that general maintenance.

$100 bucks for my first ('83 V6 camaro with horrid body rust) which i dumped $700 (fenders, quarters, doors, and paint) and a year of time into.
And $1200 for my new '84, After my first, the minor flaws in this one will be a piece of cake.

Off topic, did camaro's come with sunroofs??? mine has one, but i've never seen any others with them.

I ordered my 85 IROC 8/84, it was finally delivered 12/84 (2 strikes by GM then). Sticker was $15.4K, I paid $14.5. And, yes, I still have it and am starting the mods I've always wanted (before I pass it on to my son who is almost driving age).

I Paid 2700 for my car on Dec 8,1999 I was 15 and I was working Late night at a small Pizza place to get it. I wanted to go to the Thirdgen.org National gathering in July 99 but that was the first day of the job that 5 months later got my car. Everything came with it except the 6 speed. Pretty good deal I think.
It was Love at first sight. I still remember the day.

I paid $1300 for my 86 Trans Am WS6 5 speed LG4 back in December 1999.
I've had it for 2 years and put about $8000 in it so far. It'll be done soon, I hope.

My dad got it in 91 and paid $8000 from the Pontiac dealer in Woodland Hills. He's the 2nd owner, and that makes me the next. It had 24~27k miles on it back then. Paint was still looking good 'til around 97 or so. Repainted in 98 and getting repainted again in 2003, (gotta love those warranties).
