Sad day has come, gettin rid of the Z28
 
Well the day has come, about a month ago I was driving and my car was making a noise, now my car has a rod knock. I don't have the money to finish it right now or make into the car I want it to be, its my daily driver. So now I have to sell it, I'm getting a '92 Ford Bronco, 5.0, black and gray, loud Magnaflow Exhaust, heat, A/C, CD player and system and push button 4x4, which is what I need for the winter. I never wanted to get rid of my camaro, but even if I fixed it, I didn't want to go through winter with it. I loved this car. I'm selling it now for $2,000. Now, this Bronco will be my daily driver, and I'm gonna try and save up and by a finished '67-'69 Camaro or Chevelle that I can store and use only in the summer and weekends. My camaro still has so much potential though, has a 355 Stroker Race Motor from Jasper with only 9,000 miles on it, 450 horse and will run low 12s high 11s once the rod knock is fixed. Well, I'm going to stay on the board when I get rid of it, hopefully I can get another one in a year or two. -Jeff.

Sorry man... can you just take it off the road, hand plates in, cancel insurance and once you have spare cash then take a further look?

I've done that before with the v6 bird

Stroked355Z28 07-22-2008 08:33 PM

I wish I could, but the money from that is going to buy the truck. I'm going on a family vacation next week for 2 weeks and when I come back, I've got 3 weeks till college starts up again and I need transportation. It really s**ks.-Jeff.

that's a shame. too many people abandon their vehicles because of lack of funds.

be careful about buying a "finished" '67-9 camaro or chevelle... make sure you do your homework so that your money is well spent instead of finding out 6 months into it that your X11 car is a v6 coupe...

That's I6, Jim :mrgreen: But that doesn't take away from your point at all. Do your homework thoroughly before you buy anything classic.

My car has been strung up in my backyard for the past month. I thought about doing that, but the fund just isn't set up for it, and the motor only needs that one rod bearing fixed, then the car will be fine again, it still runs and everything. Gotta get together again soon for another trip to Hooters, ha ha. Once I save up for a year, I'm going to find another one. Later, Jeff.

Yep, there were only two, thanks alot man, I appreciate it. -Jeff.

Stroked355Z28 07-29-2008 03:05 PM

Need to sell it by Friday because I'm going on vacation for a week and the guy might not hold the bronco for me for that long. So if anyone has friends that might be looking, please help me out and spread the word. Thanks, Jeff.

Stroked355Z28 08-01-2008 03:24 PM

I gave the guy with the Bronco a deposit to hold the truck for me, so thats one things off my mind. I'm going on vacation tomorrow for a week and a half, but my dad will be around to sell my camaro if anyone knows anybody. Just let me know on my cell, (862) 202-4944. Thanks, Jeff.
