Sorry no pics yet but by request, yes. I picked up a '79 Camaro, not a Z28, at an auction for $300 CND. Could tell nuff was in shape good enough to fix, major body parts were there and only light surface rust. . busted plastic on front grill... primed. . . 4 speed standard tranny.
Is this car a piece of garbage, it sounds like a lot of '79 era camaros are out there. Yes I am a complete newb to the camaro scene, but I was looking for a car to fix up and put EFI into and build into a sort of crotch rocket.
Is this car a piece of crap or what. IF I painted her up and did up the engine(a 400 small block w/out head(intake and all)) and fixed it up how much is it worth? just curious.

well yeah, crotch rockets referr to import sport bikes, not hot rods.
as far as the buy, sounds like an absolute steal. the car is a great starting point, and they are very good looking cars. i think youd be off to a very good project with that car.
as far as what shes gonna be worth, depends on the market where you live, and what a person is willing to pay. i would say if its not a Z28, its gonna be worth a few grand, 1-4 thousand depending on the condition of the car, and the market.
