Description

Hello,I usually don't sell vehicles. This is the 2nd vehicle i am selling in roughly 15+ yrs. First vehicle was in a auto hunter magazine before the internet took over.I listed this vehicle on CL in Sep of last year and had way to much troubles so i decided to list it here on eBay. I planed on keeping and restoring this car just like the 1987 Camaro i owned since HS, due to my garage needing roof repairs and new lights being installed i decided to let this car go since i have limited space. The car was in my main garage until 2014 and now sits under one of those ShelterLogic portable garages.

General Information:This car is a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Automatic with T-tops. White with orange stripes. The front seats has tears in the leather so seat covers hide that. The back seats are not perfect but in good condition with minor cracking. Radio works, one of the knobs are missing and cracks in the nobs. Front licence plate bracket is off but included and can easily be put back on. Passenger front fender has a crack on the bottom due to the front bumper being hit (shown in one of the pics) Mechanic said it's a easy fix looks worse then it really is. Overall condition inside and out is in good condition. I may missed other minor details.
Description:With that all being said i will try my best to describe the car. I purchased the car in May and brought the car home in june, 2013 in as is condition from the car dealer ship after they got done working on my car. Prior to buying the car there was minor damage to the drivers side rear end of the car due to someone backing into the car and was told no reports was filed, instead of driving the car that way, i decided to have that garage install a new rear bumper and body work done to the right side. (one pic showing the work done) The frame it self was straight, I inspected the car while it was on the lift. I also had them refresh some the paint to match the overall look, install new tie-rods, transmission & Engine Oil Cooler and switch out some sensors. Just that alone was very expensive because of many hours trying to even everything out. The gas gauge did not work and decided not to fix that at the time. Was told it can be a easy fix or can be much more depending. I rarely drove the car and in 2015 same thing happened to me just like the previous owners. I was parked in a restaurant and when i returned i seen that someone hit or backed into my car causing front bumper damage. I tried to see if the restaurant had any security cameras witch they did not. I decided not to file a report to keep the title clean because i planed on restoring the car in the future.Few days after i had nothing but problems and had to pay to have the car towed to my driveway and it has been sitting outside in one of those temporary garages seen in some of the pictures ever since. As of right now the car still starts up and everything works.From someone hitting or backing into my car cracked my head gasket? well it must have because the car was getting high in temperature but never got to the red zone or over heated.I recently started the car and it just pours out antifreeze from the exhaust. I am thinking that the car dealership may have used some kind product like steel seal and pored it in the radiator because after i purchased the car it showed sings that someone poured something in the radiator, at that time i was thinking there was a crack in the radiator and that's why. Now i know it must have been done to hide a head gasket leak. With all these products on the market have to more certain when buying a vehicle.
Problems i do know: (information from my on site mechanic)1) Engine related since light is on: Cracked head gasket, Distributor cap may need to be cleaned2) Needs new exhaust, depending what one may like a straight exhaust with muffler or without depending3) Tires, one of the tires has a slow leak seen in one of the pictures. Tire is now filled with air4) front bumper: was told by my mechanic it can be easily fixed or replaced depending on what you would like.
I am no mechanic when it comes to drive train issues and tried my best to describe the vehicle best of my knowledge. I recommend seeing the car in person to see the true condition. Under the car does have rust since this was a New England car. To my knowledge the car is still solid except for one spot that is not to bad. I can not really check the under body with out it being on a lift or ramps so please keep that in mind.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me trough eBay and i will respond soon as possible. If you are serious and chose to contact me trough telephone i will provide you withmy telephone number and if you need more pics i can send some trough eBay message.

Thank you!

Update:Other notes not mentioned above:Car comes with 2 sets of keys and one remote to open doors,trunk and panic button.I did not see the owners manual, should be in my garage. May not be able to find any time soon due to work being done with roof and lighting and everything is stored in boxes until garage is completed.


Update: Last 2 pictures was few days after someone damaged my front bumper when i was still able to drive the car in 2015. All other pictures was taken on 8/07/16
