I recently found a blue 98 Camaro 3800 5-speed. The dealer is willing to take Belen off my hands. I have an appt with the local Chevy dealer to inspect the car and give me their opinion. Since I'm financing the car on my own, they're willing to part for 2500 USD, not counting what they give me for Belen. Pics if the deal goes through. I am soooo incredibly stoked!!! I just might be gettin a stick after 13 years without!!! AND IT'S AN F-BODY!!!

COOL my buddy just picked up a 96 wrecked RS red 5 speed with 130k for 1750 from a junkyard.
If they werent so bad in snow id be considering one.

PICS !!!! if you get it

you can bet on it. Supposedly the engine and tranny are both brand new, never been in the ditch, and has a fresh coat of paint. The dash is cracked, but that is of no concern to me at this point. Those are only 2-300 USD anyway.

How its a huge turn around from Belen!!!
Good luck!!

of said dance or !

Congrats!

Edit: Top swap it.

Very cool. Learn from your past mistake, though, and get her thoroughly inspected before you buy it. $2500 seems dirt cheap, how many miles?

2500 seams like the going price for a high mileage 3800 powered Camaro around here. I keep eyeing them with a topswap in mind. But a Camaro needs the V8 rumble and we all know how hard it is to get that sound with the 3800.

Its a 5 speed RWD 3800. As a die-hard buick 3800 fan, that would be a dream come true IMO.

Fixed.

the car has 154k on the clock. Not sure if I'd go with a top-swap, TT, or SBC swap. IIRC from my brother, he said the motor mounts are the same during the latter years of the 4th Gen F-Bodies.

Pics? PICS? We dont need no stinkin pics! jk, will if I get her.

Didn't the early release of the 4th gens have the 3400? If so that's why those have different mounts cause of the 60° block.

If you get it keep it different. Not everyone has a hot rodded V6 that can compete with V8s.

Indeed they did. Heres a few pics of my 1994 Firebird V6 5spd. I paid $400 for this car, put $150 in it to get it running, drove it through the winter (it did great!) and got $1000 on trade for my GTP.

Keep the 3800 Rick. I've been looking for another one of these just to do something different.

EWWW@ the spoiler!!! That is pretty cool, though. A 3400 'Bird. Dont see too many of them around, thats for sure. LOL...CAI, HV3, TT, S/C, 50HP NOS, oh, darn, it's started already!

Thanks for the props, yall. sure appreciate it.

BTW: if someone has an active Carfax, PM me so I can try to blast the VIN out to you next week. Thanks in advance!
