Re: Is this a good deal??

That looks to be a ZO3 Heritage Edition Camaro! Check the RPO sheet in the rear glove box for RPO ZO3. If yes then HELL YES it's worth it. It's worth it even if it's not a ZO3. It does look a little rough however, make sure it's not rotted to hell. If it seems to good to be true it probably is. The headlight buckets should be black, that has me suspicious. The car has likely been repainted. Also check the RPO for "LB9". If you see LO3 then it's not really a Z28 but an RS that has been re-badged. Not likely based on the grille which has been painted white too.

PS - ALL 92 Camaros were "25th Anniversary". However NOT all were ZO3 Heritage cars, it's a fairly rare cosmetic option.

Sorry I edited this a hundred times.

Re: Is this a good deal??

Then it's a real ZO3 Heritage Edition Z28 with 305 TPI. It's considerably more rare than a typical Z28 and will hold considerable more value if you fix it up nice and keep it reasonably close to stock.

Assuming the car isn't destroyed beyond repair, I'd be ALL OVER this trade!

The Z03 is a great looking car and is very desirable by many people. Post some more pictures of it all cleaned up.

Shouldnt be too bad. Rust is usually found on the passenger side, (Salt runs to the gutter and is then slung into the wheel wells) Nice car!

Re: Is this a good deal??

I don't care how many there are. Usually Z03 owners are greedy and don't like to sell them to those who want them I want one for an Ls1 Swap!

its a shame they didnt keep count of the differnt paint jobs im sure the number is much lower for the white and red stripes. not saying that white and red stripes was the rarest color. would love to know how many are left.

Re: Is this a good deal??

Honestly, I have to say I see more with red stripes on white paint than any other color combo. I think that combo looks best though.

Re: Is this a good deal??

be prepared to spend some money on all that rust and repaint. 500 maaco job will not nearly be enough, i bought a 91 rs with some rust on the wheel wells please check the floor boards and rest of car to see if the car is even worth fixing. personally im looking at spending a grand or 2 to have someone remove, repair and repaint my car. be prepared to spend some cash are the spending quickly grows on rust buckets good luck though

Or trade it ... sell it to someone who can do that type of work and is willing to take on a car that is rare and buy yourself another car.

why cant i find good deals like this .. GEEEZ
