:shock: :drool:

transmaro93 04-08-2010 05:48 PM

that is crazy... car is in nice shape but is a little rough for only having 43 miles on it.. but i guess if it wasnt stored properly thats gonna happen... cool find... but the question is who on this board would pay $40k for a 1980 camaro....

sweetbmxrider 04-08-2010 06:00 PM

wow


i bet that reserve is wayyyy higher than 40k judging by the auction wording.....

deadtrend1 04-08-2010 06:11 PM

anyone see what looks like 2 TTA's in the first pic? Could be just white TA's also.

I let my cars sit and they fall apart. This one gets driven 1.5 miles a year and its perfect. WTF!

transmaro93 04-08-2010 06:21 PM

the one looks like it has a tta hood... the other who knows... looks like hes got a nice collection

V 04-08-2010 06:55 PM

the white ta in front IS a TTA , rear one is a white ta, possibly a gta.
The hood you can see is nothing special.

That matters how? Most of the people on this board don't want to pay for anything.


I don't think that car could fetch $40k, but those late 2nd gens are appreciating fast.


I'd love to have a car just like that but drivable, with 43 miles that's a museum car now without a lot of work that would kill value.

transmaro93 04-08-2010 08:05 PM

yea no i understand its a collectible... but its still just a 1980 z28 and no matter how nice shape it is im surprised its bringing that much money... i like the late 2nd gen camaros... they just weren't anything special (like a hemi cuda or copo camaro) get what im saying?

BonzoHansen 04-08-2010 08:15 PM

Yes. But I'm saying that market is growing hotter daily. That exact car as-is except with say 43,000 miles is a $20,0000 +/-5k car now.

transmaro93 04-08-2010 08:29 PM

wow! i guess to the right person... id never pay $20k+ for a late model 2nd gen unless it looked like somthing foose designed... I understand 2nd gens are becomming more and more valuable especially because 1st gens are like untouchable and the early (prettier) 2nd gens are becomming high dollar cars, but i just cant see spending that kind of money on that car... but its a "to each his own" kind of thing i guess... i just dumped loads of money into my LT1 4th gen bird and people will call me crazy for that... so i can see both sides...

indeed, to each his own. you're not a collector. that is who will buy that car. it's not destined for one of us 'drivers'.

Yup. I'd say that no more than a handful of people on here can pick an actual "collectible"... and I'm not saying I'm in that group. :mrgreen:

JL8Jeff 04-08-2010 09:13 PM

And it's a 350 4 speed car which adds to the value. I think in 81 you could only get the 4 speed in a 305 unless you were in Canada. So that adds some significant value as well. When low mileage IROC cars are selling for $25-35K, this car should be worth $35-40K. But for that money, you can get a pretty clean first gen Z28, so which would you rather have? Low mileage survivor cars will always have buyers, anybody can restore a car.

transmaro93 04-08-2010 09:26 PM

yea not everybody can restore them correctly though ahahhaa... im young and iv already seen my share of butcher jobs...

T69SS 04-08-2010 10:25 PM

Pretty cool, If i had the $$ i would love to own an original low mileage 2nd gen like that. Even if it is an '80

What seats are those? Did the Zs come with different seats in 80-81?

I believe that to be the 'custom cloth' interior

I could never ever get a car and let it sit so long...You live once, drive the dam thing like it is intended to be driven!!

BonzoHansen 04-09-2010 03:32 PM

I agree!

Here is a different "survivor":
http://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/1683900898.html

1980 Turbo Trans Am. T-Tops WS6 Survivor 74kmi - $12000

If he holds out he'll get that and it's not a bad buy as collectors go.


Man, I'd love a black 80-81 turbo car....to modify!
