When you begin acquiring vehicles at a scale that it becomes a business, it can become hard to say no to any project or parts rig that comes your way. After all, if you become a dealer and your livelihood depends on having sellable inventory, you really can’t afford to turn away vehicles you could possibly make a buck on. In the case of the seller behind this battered 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, he’s decided to sell his land and now must clear every car and building off the property – and based on this and his other listings here on eBay, he has a lot to do before the end of the year.
Of course, the sad reality is the price of scrap is healthy enough now that whatever doesn’t sell can simply be shredded. I don’t agree with that on a philosophical level, but a business is a business. At just $1,000, this Camaro is very close to that line where it begins to make more sense for the owner to feed it to the shredder, so I give him credit for attempting to keep it alive another day and sell it whole. While it is plenty rough, there’s enough value in parts alone at $1,000 to make it worth a 4th generation Camaro fanatic’s time to pick it up. If it were a manual, we wouldn’t even be debating its value right now.
T-tops and a V8 is always a good combination, and despite the rough condition of the body, these vulnerable glass panels appear to be in good shape. Usually, when I see a muscle car as forlorn as this one, I expect to see lots of evidence of poor decisions when it comes to modifications and other nonsense. Curiously, this Camaro appears to be mostly stock, with no major alterations – even the wheels are factory Z-28 items. So, what happened here? Was it simply abandoned on a property and allowed to deteriorate? The nose panel has some damage and it’s clear some parts have already been pulled.
Ah, there’s at least one tell-tale sign of bad choices in the modifications department with these garish taillights attached. The door going missing could be because it was sold or perhaps it was badly damaged in a side impact that totaled the Camaro out. In 1994, the Camaro with the Z-28 box checked produced 275 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, a still-respectable amount of thrust by today’s standards. Is the amount of work to bring this Camaro back too great to justify saving it, or does the low purchase price make it tempting to revive?
Judging by the prices,evidently he’s in no great hurry to
sell everything off.When you need to sell stuff in a short time,
you need to have cheap prices.
The best part is that if they sell,you have the ideal situation –
people give you money,& haul your junk off.
Of all the vehicles in the background this is the one he chose to advertise??? The 60/66 Chevy long bed would bring 4 or 5 times as much!
This car is just begging someone to crush it and get it over with
