Hello safireking88!!
Have you driven it up a hill yet???
It could be having some issues with the valve body in the transmission, torque converter, or even the "TV" cable, etc....!!!
If your getting it from a dealer, it should be fixed before you get it, at their expense!!
Make sure that if you do get it, that there is a warranty on the transmission/drive train!!
I'd walk, and find another, however if the price was right, and you had other plans for the car, the transmission "problem" may be of no concern to you!!

Re: 89 camaro: resistance going uphill
The car is only 500 bucks but i talked to the guy selling it and we both considered that it might just need a tune-up or whatever the case may be. I was planning on using it as a temporary beater cuz my bimmer was having issues and stuff then later on fix it up asthetic wise.
Spend the money!!!
Yes, it could only need a "tune up", but it could be a lot worse!! Just don't go throwing a lot of money into it, if you do, you might as well spend it now, and get something better for your money!!
