Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Camaro / May 2004Resprayed or not?
I say it is. A friend inquired and was told by the seller that it came from the factory this way (overspray on the underbody - notice the overspray in the whel wells as well). Check the pictures for yourself, but while this car looks good, I think the claims of no leaks and never been repainted are dubious! What do you folks think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2474401692 > I say it is.

It's a nice looking car, but I dunno... my 01 TA has some overspray on the undercarriage - but the front wheel wells are plastic liners so I can't tell you if the wheelwell overspray is stock. And why do the tierods/front end look so greasy or something? Ray > I say it is.

What do you folks think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2474401692 The over spray on the fornt uni-body is correct. The over spray in the rear is correct for a converted car. Something you are not taking in to account. Final paint was not done at the factory. The Car had final paint done by the converter. ASC, who may have repainted the entire car. The brakes being painted body color may have been a ASC option. Really a car like this requires resurch of the Conveter who did it. To find out what they did and did not do. What over spray to expect, ect. Charles Meant to say thanks, Charles. Got sidetracked. I totally forgot about ASC doing the conversions because the 4th Gens were done inhouse by GM at St. Therese IIRC (correct?), and I forget after 1 year, nevermind 12! And I didn't know the final paint was done out of GM's hands as well. Good history there. I doubt my buddy would go for anything that steep pricewise to begin with. He picked up a '98 Z-28 MN6 a few years back for 13,800 which he loves but he still wants that 80's 3rd gen he had as a kid (same reason I keep my mustang...if I can afford it I'll keep it..even though it's MUCH slower than my camaro) He had a 91 a few years back but sold it and picked up his LS1 camaro after hearing how happy I was with mine. Bottom line is that he now has the room and is looking for a project. I suggested a fisrt gen but it's the 3rd that he wants. Jimmy > The over spray on the fornt uni-body is correct.

I think this is a thinly disguised way to cross-post an Ebay auction ad. "FBR" > I think this is a thinly disguised way to cross-post an Ebay auction ad. as do I. -- http://www.edmontoncouple.com ---- I am the darkest creation of god Nope. Check My posting history. No secret. A friend and I thought this was a clipped car trying to be passed off as cherry. Charles Bendig had some good pointsa though. I did NOT take into accout the converter.... The front end grease though makes me think the auctioner is lying about no leaks. And when we saw the overspray I was almost sure it was clipped (taking two wrecks and making one good car).

That thought crossed my mind. But who would post a link to an ebay item to generate interest in it, then ask us to nit pick the item listed? I list a few items on Ebay (I have yet to put any F-body parts on there), I wouldn't post a link to an item and ask people to nit pick it. Charles >>> I say it is. A friend inquired and was told by the seller that it >>> came from the factory this way (overspray on the underbody - notice [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > there), I wouldn't post a link to an item and ask people to nit > pick it. Charles Ebay items aren't supposed to be advertised by crossposting spam in usenet groups. PERIOD. Since many posters have been reported, many w.nkers have resorted to this type of post/crosspost. Look up his posting history as he asks, and look at the headers of his first, and rebuttal posts. Methinks he protests too much for being honest. To save honest folk a problem how about a way to do this fairly. No crossposting, if a pic is in question, then host it and post it yourself. No Ebay link. That would keep any question of spamming at bay. BTW, if you "suddenly" appear with an Ebay post to look at, and it is crossposted, and you have no posting history with a group, then what should be thought? And on top of that, the crossposter in question changes posting hosts more often than a $5 whore on Saturday night changes panties. Next Ebay post in question gets LARTED. Simple as that. > BTW, if you > "suddenly" appear with an Ebay post to look at, and it is crossposted, and > you have no posting history with a group, then what should be thought? And > on top of that, the crossposter in question changes posting hosts more often > than a $5 whore on Saturday night changes panties. Huh? 1)I've never bought or sold ANYTHING on ebay. Ever. 2)What do you care where I post from? I don't misrepresent myself. I never have. 2)No posting history here? http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=jimsfastls1&meta=g roup%3Dalt.autos.camaro.* 3)It was a question about a camaro. My friend and I thought it was being misrepresented. Should I ask in r.a.m.f.m? Perhaps alt.game.wolfenstien? The chrysler newsgroup I've posted to before? Or does it make more sense to post here? I mean maybe I'm misunderstanding something but I though these were camaro newsgroups. I live in the Bronx. The plates on that car IIRC are from Michigan. I don't know anybody in Michigan. Do you think EVERYONE that doesn't regulary post here is a freakin spammer? Jimmy > you have no posting history with a group, then what should be thought?

Hmm. You try the usual sources? Also, Year One's website? NOI There is red paint on the lower front control arms! They weren't even on the car at the time of painting. The same is true of the "saddle". That being said, the car looks very clean. I would say someone steam-cleaned the hell out of of the underside. Didn't see ripples on the frame so it probably is straight. Even with the BSing about the paint, it may be a great car. Who knows? The thing is it is not inherently rare, making me wonder about the price. What does make it seem extraordinary is that it is unmolested. > I say it is.
