Re: RIP 83
Ouch! Good thing your alright. What happened?
Sorry about your car. But think of it as something better that will come along from its ashes...another camro or firebird maybe?

For around 2k, around here not that good. Mostly just some good projects. Hell 1500-2000 would be net a decent body without anything good extra. People do get lucky sometimes, save up and continue to look. Don't be afraid to look in neighbor states craigslist for deals, If I was you I wouldn't hesitate to travel to find a good one.

Re: RIP 83
Pics of that Camaro made me sad 
Hope he lived a good life.
Good luck on your hunt man. One thing I've noticed over the last few years is that the value/price of thirdgens are going up...As someone else mentioned, don't buy a thirdgen for $2000 unless you want a major project

but that bein said if your close to minnesota you should check out the st paul minneapolis craigslist i was goin through adds earlier (always lookin to add to the collection) and i found 3 or 4 decent iroc z's and z/28's for under 2 grand and a few mint ones for around 3 to 4 grand it just might be worth looking into
