Sadly, I have came to face facts. This car, as epic as it could be, is just too far down my list of priorities. Its also bloody massive and i cant move for it. Time to let someone else make it as awesome as I hoped to do.
There is a massive build thread here:
retrorides.proboards.com/thread/94749/1984-camaro-proper-power-time
Outlining my work to date. This isn't your normal 3rd Gen Camaro. It has had a professional RHD converion done in Australia prior to import to the UK. It has also had a Getrag 290 5 speed fitted at some point, a gearbox tougher than any I've known. This car has the potential to be something pretty unique, but I must point out that this is a ROLLING PROJECT only. The car can be started but the carb is out of tune, so will not run for long. Also, the interior is non existant but I had planned on stripped out cockpit anyway. Goes with the 10 point cage, which is included in the sale. Breakdown of spec as follows:
5.0 (305) V8 with edelbrock performer inlet, Hedman headers (4-1 long), tall billet rocker covers, T handle cover bolts, 10mm ingition leads, HEL clear distributer, running on a stock Quadrajet.
5 Speed Getrag 290 gearbox. Clutch and flywheel inspected and have plenty of life in them.
Cragar Black window 15x8 and 15x9 wheels with Cooper Cobra white letter tires. Never driven on.
Grant 3 spoke steering wheel
60mm Tacho
Hurst shifter
Full 3 inch true dual exhast system with twin Thrush chambered rear silencers. Sound tremendous.
10 point weld in roll cage, not final fitted
short back bucket seats.
4 inch high bonnet bulge, partially blended in.

I have priced this to sell, not to be haggled with "best offer mate" nonsense. I can break this car for more than this, (a V8 spec Getrag 290 alone, if you can find one, is 4 figures over here) but I'd rather get it away in one shot and let someone else make it into what it should be. It will need trailored, but with enough notice I can let you hear it run.
On orders to get the wife something for daily drive duties, so if someone has a Jimny, or a small diesel Polo or Lupo or something that they want to swap with cash my way or something, I'll be interested.
