[quote="78 Camaro"]Hi all,
I'm working with a guy to part out 5x late 2nd gens. The cars are at his, so I'm acting as the middle man - he's not a Camaro guy so I'm helping list things and deal with enquiries to keep him out of the loop until someone wants to buy something.
First of all, answers to what will be popular questions:
1) Can I buy the car(s) whole?
A) Sorry no, my first thought too! No V5's, cars are cut up on the inside and some have things like fire damage - sadly these are parts cars only
2) Engine / transmission?
A) No engine or transmission
3) Whereabouts are the parts?
B) Around M3 M25 area - pick up possible but need to know you're buying ahead of time, not much time for browsing (for bigger parts yes, but for smaller parts we're working on that...)
4) What year are they?
A) Decoding at the moment but they are all late 2nd gen (78-81) and a couple of 3rd gens too (will confirm year next week).
5) What's the condition?
A) It's a mix but overall I'm quite impressed. For example, I've never seen a set of fenders that aren't rusted out at the bottom. Until today. And they are factory original. Generally, I've hardly seen much rust! I'm decoding some of the vins and two so far are Van Nuys cars (California) so likely lived in that area explaining the condition.
There are 3 that are mostly intact and 2 that are kind of not really cars anymore, but have salvageable bits like subframe / axle.
Here's a rough list (will have more info next week, i didn't have much time today so it was a bit of a rush so may need to correct some of the below).
If you don't see something, just ask:
5x rear axles, all drum brakes (working out the ratios and casting bits next week. So far 2 likely are from a 305 car (not sure what ratio that will be, but most axles had 10 bolts).
5x subframes - with suspension, A-arms, springs, everything ready to go!
5x sets of leafsprings (all multileaf)
4x bonnets (Z28 style), will check if all are genuine, some are in better condition than others
1x Decent trunk lid
1x Ok trunk lid, will need a bit of body work but you'd likely do that anyway as any trunk lid would need prep and paint.
1x rear windscreen (non heated)
1x steering wheel
2x front windscreens (will double check for cracks)
1x front clip (no subframe but has inner wheel arches, fenders, bumpers, rad mount etc.)
3x sets of Z28 fenders. Very impressed by the condition. Will double check they are Z28, I know one pair definitely is. Not sure if the others had vents stuck on.
Hood hinges, quite a few sets but no springs on them.
Several sets of doors, some are dead straight and no or minimal rust.
Several door mirrors, some with glass some without
Some seats (front and rear but will require a retrim as original fabric / pleather
Various window chrome trim (front and back)
