So I have a 1974 Camaro for sale, and it has less than 100,000 miles on its straight-6. I'm asking only $800.
What a steal, right! Well, not exactly. Or, yeah, maybe, depending on what you need. My daughter bought this thing thinking I'd fix it up for her. Alas, I have too many other honeydews to keep me busy, although I did get around to putting in a new radiator and shift cable. I got stuck when I couldn't find a carburetor part, which they don't make anymore. And I found it was a lot less time-consuming simply to find another car for my daughter, one that actually runs. You see, this one starts, but that's about all I can say for it. Doesn't seem to want to hold its timing. The engine won't tell the transmission to shift except at very high rpms. The transmission checks out, by the way, according to a local shop. I don't think the oil is draining all the way, either, based on the smoke I get when it starts (although I haven't started it for quite some time).
So this thing sits in my driveway now with a flat tire. Some teenage boys who owned it previously painted it in camouflage. The body is in good shape except for some minor rust bubbles that are trying to form at the base of the passenger's door. In the trunk, I have a box of molding that I never got around to putting around the windows and trunk. The interior is nothing to brag about, and the seats have sheets for covers. Would make a fine project car or even better, a parted out car.
If you want it, send an email to rick p welch @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces ... i typed it that way to avoid getting a lot of spam) I'll keep this Web page up as long as I still have the car. I'm in Ventura, California, by the way.
Sitting in my driveway with a flat tire. Neighbors complaining.
The rust is so minor, you can't even see it in this picture. That's a CA car, for ya.
Body is in good shape ... but you still have to put a bag over its face
