Re: trading to an lt1

I can't say I blame him, I have my old 3.4 just sittin up on blocks right now. Granted LT's might be the satan's handy work when it comes to working on them but here in the south, anything that's even related to LS series engines is like gold. I.E. there was a 02 z28 6 speed car with a REBUILT TITLE and chipping paint for sale for 8k with close to 100K on the clock not far from my house, my buddy was only able to talk him down to 7.5 before he bought it. And the only reason he bought it was because it was so clean besides the hood and front bumper.

These are just Camaro's and thats the cheaper end of the spectrum, start looking at Formula's and TA's and they start at 10k and go up with around 80-100k on them, less miles and the owners want 15k+ for em.

Even some LT cars go for well over 6k. Just recently I stopped and looked at a sexy 95 Ram Air at a lot not far from here. Im talking immaculate, 122k, 7250 and it only sat there for around 3 weeks and it was gone.

He's right, I live in Mobile, and LS1 cars are pricey, hence why its cheaper for me to just keep the ole 6'er.

OP-I would have done it, hell, you weren't driving the 6cyl anyways. Have fun with it!

Re: trading to an lt1

And another thing is that it will be a ***** to sell if you ever decide to sell it.. Its not like you went from a 3.8-LS1 translplant its going from a LS1-LT1 transplant..

that car is nothing more than scrap metal..... The title will kill it, not worth putting money into it. Sell the scrap, start over.

Re: trading to an lt1

Wow. Everything is pretty straight except the front frame where the radiator mounts has been replaced and the inner front driver fender is bent some. Lol. It's a project car for a reason.

Re: trading to an lt1

Also, I have a 2000 firebird collecting dust I don't drive lol. Perfect working order minus egr code and some rocker panel damage but I have ground fx to cover it up.

HOLY CRAP!!! no deal howie!

project car or not, being able to resell is a big issue...i wouldn't pay a lick for a car with that kind of history.

Re: trading to an lt1

how about, "Hey Derek, good luck on the car. The title sucks but have fun anyways! That hugger orange paint looks cool." lol

[bigairboarder44]

Re: trading to an lt1

Hey Derek, I wish you a LOT of luck with the car. The title absolutely sucks but have fun anyway! I thought that paint was red.

Re: trading to an lt1

from another LT1 owner, good luck. I haven't had much issues with mine, only repairs so far was a clutch ( my fault ), a water pump, and now I'm in need of a coolant overflow tank. I'm sure I'll have alot more tougher things to do in the future. I plan on installing headers in a week or so, that'll hit the top of the list for sure.

If you part it out, let me know I could use a few parts :D

Re: trading to an lt1

So the guy told you it was a 99 T/A and it had a LS1 in it but he dropped a LT1 in it when actually it is a 94 T/A and probably has always had a LT1 in it?? If I were you I would trade back with him. This is not a project its a curse!!
