so a friend of mine offered me two 1985 z28 hardtop Camaro parts cars for $450. both cars can be made into one nice one and there would be many many extra parts left over. only thing is, is that the body that needs all the stuff put on it from the other car needs the core support ( i think thats what it is) welded onto it. both cars have been wrecked in the front. would have to swap motor from one to the other. motor and tranny have 130k on stock 305 tbi. one has a perfect condition fiberglass crossfire hood. both have really nice wheels on em. so should i buy them and part them out? buy them and build a nice running camaro? or not buy them at all? or just buy the parts from him that i want for my camaro? ( sway bars, lowering springs and rims)

he said he would also give me a ton of left over parts from an iroc he parted out awhile ago includeing interior parts and a front bumper, and a rear hatch with good glass

Would have to be carbed or tuned port in 85. As cheap as these cars are starting with a wrecked one might be alot more work than it's worth.

Build one and part out everything you don't need....and give me the wheels for coming up with such an original idea Twisted Evil

Buy them and build one good one. Part out the rest and use the money from the parts to pay for the cosmetic work. But when you sell the parts sell everything down to the rivets.

Unless you want a race car shell or something I'd say (only if you had the space...) to buy them and part them out. You have a really nice canvas to work with right now so I don't see the point in stepping back to an '85 that needs a lot of work. Just me though. Besides, tearing into those to will help you understand how yours goes together that much more.

yeah thats true, and im not sure how much i could sell the finished camaro for either, after that piece got welded i could probably have the car together pretty quick, but if i parted them out i might be able to get more than just sellin a finished car and maybe i could by a motor for my car with the money Very Happy

Sorry, no TBI in '85. If they are TPI, the intakes alone sell for more than $500 on ebay all the time. I say if you got a place to park 'em, buy 'em! Wink

if i made a finished car i wouldnt keep it so, i would just build it and sell it to make money, its probably best that i just get the parts off of the cars that i want for my car.

Hope we get first dibs if you decide to part it!

im gonna see if he wants to trade parts, he most likely will, but if you guys need parts and he wants to part em out, he can do it through me that way you guys can get parts

If either of them are B4Z get the wonderbar and sway bars. IROC wheels are worth $$$, so are A/C delete boxes, black interiors, dash pads, 5spd shifter plates, 145mph speedos, glass t-tops (not lexan), and get the Crossfire hood.

I spend too much time in the junkyard. Very Happy
