New to Stock - Buying an 85 Camaro G/H/I??

Allen and Cooter, it wasn't yall. Most of yall were actually offering advise but, He knows who he is and I won't call him out. Yes you are all correct it would need a 20k motor to run with Butcher and I am still not sure it would help. I have a lot of respect for the work they have done and they have found something. But unless you get a headsup run it is still a bracket race. Play the ladder, change classes, etc. That stuff and the real guys at the track you get to hang with is what makes it fun. I hope Dustin buys it but in the end I don't have to sale it. I was hoping to make someone a good deal so it didn't sit around as we have plenty of cars to work on and have more stockers already.

One more and I am done I promise. Anybody that doesn't think the wrong ring combo or pistons won't keep a stocker from running very well is a complete jack**s. OH and btw....Thanks Mark for the good words.

It's a fair price for a good car that with some work can be competitive.

Glad to hear you like it Bob!

Like others have said, for the money it isn't a bad buy at all. The 3rd gen F bodies are a good place to start in stock.

Buy it and come join in the fun!

It's a good deal. Do you want to run 2-3 tenths under or 1 second under? If the answer is 1 second under get out the check book its gonna be expensive. If you just want to get in the game then its a good deal.
Now if you're interested I have a P/SA Cutlass 7-8 under for $14,000

Jamie,
Your car is a steal at 9 grand. It is worth that rolling chassis IMHO. I wish you guys stayed with the Camaro but I'm sure getting your dad's car back on the track will be special. Best of luck.
