89 camaro saved from being scrapped - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70BLAZERX2 · 08-10-2011, 07:36 PM

I got this at the auction...89 camaro 305 5speed t-top...130,000 miles

I gave $500 for it and won...

runs and drives like new

only had to put 450 miles on the old 69 rollback.

the hood is worth that...

I am using the 5speed in the 70 2wd blazer..and going to put something else back in the camaro after the body gets fixed..

I like it... I have TONS of parts for these. I got a 89 and 92 camaro parts car if you need anything. I am more into the 3rd gen firebirds but I ended up with some camaros along the way. I got a 89 2.8/ 5spd car thats nice. Decent paint runs good etc. I just cant get the title straight. If I dont get it straight soon, it will be a parts car too.

I bought a 89 Iroc, and a 92 RS ZO3 a few years back. I always like the look of the 3rd Gen Camaro's. Down side was when I rode in them, and felt like I was 2" off the ground. Then realized I practically was.

Sold them, and moved on to trucks, but still love the look of them.

I just got this 86 z28 saturday for $800 and drove it home.. Pretty nice car really. SCORE on the rear end...

spudz · 09-07-2011, 12:06 PM

Got this iroc grill today from the dealership I work at.. Crazy we can still get these. Price good too

70BLAZERX2 · 09-07-2011, 09:55 PM

I would ditch the bra...go topless...as in like a 70 blazer

I hate those things..do you need anything for it? I have the other 89 t-top car..going to scrap it soon..the grey/black looking one..

I have new struts in the boxes,new motor mounts,trans mount was also new...new water pump.

I sold the headers,steering column,radiator,and spare tire..on ebay..LOL

how much was the grille? I may get one..dont know yet..as i have the 82-85 Z28 nose..on the red one now.

Shon · 09-08-2011, 10:16 AM

If you need suspension parts (UMI/Spohn/UMI/etc) just let me know, i will hook you up!! heck, it doesnt have to be only suspension parts, I will do my best with any other part you need!

I hate the bra too but the paint sucks under it. I am gonna paint the car all blue and ditch the bra. Grill was like 60 bux. I have a 89 and 91 parts car myself so I dont really need much. BUT I do need a dash pad, console lid, struts/shocks, trans an torque arm mount. I have 50+ cars and junk that I could trade for parts as well.

70BLAZERX2 · 09-08-2011, 07:09 PM

i have the 2 new struts..one was installed on the car,never driven on ,other is still in the box..but new ones are olny $22 each on rockauto...would cost more than they are worth to ship..

I just junked a 89 GTA and did not save the tourque arm mount...well you cant save everything.

spudz · 09-08-2011, 08:12 PM

I have a 88 gta. I coulda used stuff off that too lol
