After 2 months of unsuccessfully trying to sell my beautifully-maintained 6MT privately, I decided to see what dealers would give me, as I've ordered a 2010 Camaro SS that will arrive in 6-8 weeks. With the miles adding up quickly (almost 55K) and the warranty up in July, I didn't want to risk losing even more money waiting to trade it in. Surprisingly, Maroone Chevy of Pembroke Pines, whom I ordered my Camaro from, offered $500 more than Sawgrass Infiniti (around Kelly trade-in value). While it was over $4K less than I wanted (and owed) for it, I felt I had no choice, as nobody else was biting, but to take the offer, since I'm sure the trade-in value would drop drastically if I waited 'til the 60K mile mark.

Fortunately, I got a big tax refund that covered most of the difference. All I have to do now is suffer through the next 6-8 weeks (hopefully not much more than that!) driving my friend's old '94 Ford Ranger 4-banger w/ power-NOTHING that needs a tune-up in the worst way; LOL. At least I should recoup at least $1K driving it during that time (difference between old car payment and what I'm paying him to rent it), if it doesn't break down (knock on wood). This all will just make the delivery of my Camaro 2SS/RS even more sweet and worth the trouble--I can't wait!...

Anyway, while my G served me well and still runs as good (if not better) than the day I bought it, I was getting bored and didn't want to sink any more $ into it. It's the 2nd one I've had in the past 5 years, and it's time for a change. I'll still come to Towers when I get the new car and crash the Saturday 'Pines meet occasionally to say hello to everyone--you all are great!... BTW, I took off my MREV2/plenum spacer, as well as my Pop-charger w/ carbon-fiber Z-tube, so if anyone wants to make an offer on those, feel free to PM me. Thanks, everyone, for all your past help/support; I'll try not to be a stranger!

 

First congrats on the Camaro, Ive been thinking about getting that also. i have a 1977 Z28 in the garage which runs really good and only 150K original miles.

as far as your parts, i would take all of that you listed its pretty much everything i am looking for right now.

 

Thanks. 'Sounds like quite a nice 3rd-gen. you have there... I have all the parts that came with the MREV2 and plenum spacer, except for the coolant control valve it came with (probably not a necessary part), since I had to cut the stock tubing to install it and decided to leave it on. You might want to see the pop charger in person to see if you still want it (most of the rubber trim that goes around the heat shield peeled off and the filter just needs cleaning; the carbon fiber tubing looks to be in pretty good shape though)--might be missing some screws, but can't recall, as I think some of the stock airbox screws are reused on the mounting plates (?). I can try to take some pics when I have more time... PM me if you want to make an offer. Thanks.

*Edit* My bad, I just noticed you're in Cali, so seeing it in person would probably be difficult, I assume

 

isnt a 77 a 2nd gen?
i had a 1988 Iroc-z andim pretty darn sure it was a 3rd gen
3rd gen was 82-92...
doesnt really matter, just checkin

 

congrats on the sale, I hope you are not a stranger... You are always welcome at our meets.

Hey, always drop by the Pines Meet, or even better, join us again with the Camaro. You're a cool guy.

GL with the Camaro SS, you never know, you might get bored with the Camaro and buy a G again, with a 6MT perhaps?
