During the pandemic I stopped attending car shows and Old Silver started sitting—never a good thing. Not long ago, a falling headliner or an R12 charge would have led to immediate action. Now action is on the back burner—never a good thing. Moreover, as a longtime member/moderator, I’m simply not contributing much to TGO any more. The fast approach of my 76th year is also a contributing factor. While I still enjoy driving the IROC, I think time has come to pass it to someone who will enjoy it as much as I once did.
If questions or concerns arise or if you require more pictures/info, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I don’t want the buyer to experience any ugly surprises. PM me for my cell number if you wish to speak to me. I have a three-inch file of records/receipts for the car dating back many years, so I should be able to answer any and all questions. The buyer is welcome to that file for future reference. By the way, if a part came with a manual or instruction sheet, it will likely be in that file.
Now to business:
$16,000 or a reasonable offer will take Old Silver and every single Camaro-related part or product in my possession. I’d be happy to detail all of the latter, to include a mint Camaro dash pad, race ramps and much, much more.
All the following photos (or any that may be requested) are from November 21 and 22.
Replies sent. If there are any other questions, let me know. I may need a little time to peruse my file for specific dates and so on, but that's not a problem.
I couldn’t pass this one up. I felt obligated to bring her to the SW where she can be driven year round.
Thanks, Ted. I feel no reservations or regret in selling Old Silver to you because I'm certain she'll continue to be looked after. Thinking of her strutting her stuff in the SW pleases me to no end.

I was working on LS1/T56 swap into a 92 RS. I had a 1954 Chevy 3100 for sale. I was talking with the buyer and told them about my 92 project. They made me a good offer for the 1954, Ls1 and T56. Sold that and then this one popped up. Seemed like it was meant to be.
