I have a black, manual transmission, 1998 V6 Chevy Camaro for sale.  The car has ~118,000 miles on it and it comes with two sets of tires and rims. A set of winter tires is currently on the car and these are mounted on Z28 rims. The stock rims have all-season tires and one tire didn't pass inspection, so I didn't put that set on it. You'll need to replace two of the tires. The other two have life left on them.  I do have another all-season radial not on a rim that will work and your welcome to take it.  It will replace the tire that didn't pass inspection, but the treads won't match.  Suffice it to say, this car comes with lots of tires and rims.

Here are some details about the car.

The car is a good runner!  It has only been driven in the summer and early fall for the last six years and has probably seen maybe 1,500 miles a year since then.  There's nothing mechanically outstanding about this vehicle. It has the original exhaust that runs fine. The undercarriage is in good shape. The brakes are in fine shape and the car passed inspection without a problem (except for the one tire). The brakes do NOT pulsate, which is common with the Camaro if driven in the snow.   It has not been driven in the snow in six years.  The interior is in good shape, although there is wear and age on some panels. Fog lights work perfectly.  All the window motors are working, but a little slow. The power locks, trunk release, and security system work fine. The air conditioner works fine and blasts frigid-cold air very well. The battery was replaced in 2009. The alternator was replaced in 2010. All the marker lights, turn signals, and headlights are operational. It comes with two new remotes.  All scheduled maintenance and oil changes were done on time, with oil changes performed well ahead of schedule (every 1,500 miles) when the car was new. I always use synthetic oil. 

One nice feature of this car is the upgraded sound system.  When I bought the car in late 1997, I had the original stereo, speakers, and audio wiring removed. Gold-plated wiring was installed with a Boston Acoustics speaker system throughout the car. Tweeters are custom installed on the dash and the high frequencies project off the windshield to produce a nice sound field that centers the audio in the middle of the cabin. An Alpine amplifier is installed in the rear pit of the vehicle and all the wiring runs to this. The head unit is an Alpine CDA9805 50W (x 4) system coupled with a BBE crossover and 11-band EQ w/fader. I intended to custom build a subwoofer over the rear pit and wire it into the amp. The BBE crossover would manage the subwoofer and all the other speakers. I never got around to installing this, but it's an upgrade that could be added to the car. The Boston Acoustics speakers were replaced with a new system in 2006 that offered better low end. The car is a fun car to drive and I love the audio system in the vehicle. It's always been a primary part of the driving experience, for me.

Now for the problems.  This car is fifteen years old, so you have to accept a few things.

The right side of the dash cluster is out. In 2004 it stopped working and then sometime in 2005 it started working again and then shortly afterward it stopped again. It might just be an intermittent problem that requires the cluster to be reseated; I'm not sure. I never pursued having it fixed. The dash cluster works fine, otherwise, and I can see the mileage by shining a flashlight at an angle over the odometer.  All the gauges operate fine.

There's a scratch and dent on the hood around the front passenger headlight (see pics) from the car lunging forward in the garage and hitting a wheelbarrow. :-( There is some paint peeling off the lower front grill. There are a few scratches and door dings from being parked in parking lots over the years (normal stuff for a fifteen year-old car). The hood was replaced from a minor deer hit at a slow speed (~20 MPH). The deer flopped on the hood and dented it. It was replaced in 2005.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I can supply more pics, if interested. Come and give it a test drive. I'd like to find it a new home. With a wife and new baby, this car doesn't fit into our family structure. I need to sell it and get an SUV.
