I completely support Bryon on this one. I also was going to edit out that comment.
This forum has maintained a civil tone for literally decades. This is due to members refraining from posting inflammatory comments. It's not uncommon for forums to ban one or two people a month. Just look at facebook to see where we could be. It's been years since we've needed to ban someone.

We moderate with a very light touch IMO, but we do moderate.

There is a trade off.  Facebook is worth billions.  Your site probably needs donations to survive.  Its all about how you handle things.   

That said I do appreciate the hard work put in to the documentation of the Camaros.  You do a good job at that.   I may even return to help out the site w/a donation.   Take it easy for now.

Removed one reply and edited out political opinion.

I have my political opinions too but I try to keep them out of this forum. Rules are rules.

Is this listed in Forum Guidelines? I would like to review what other forms of speech are prohibited on this site. 

I simply posted a CONTRAST/COMPARISON.

If it was used as a drag racer, where are the ¼ mile time slips?

Jonesy, those are pretty much my thoughts as well. 

A previous poster mentioned it, but it appears J.M. has made comments regarding missing engines knocking down value about 30%.   I would say that is a fair analysis.

Let’s say, a ZL1 goes for $1,000, 000, a Z/28 for $75K, and an SS for $55k.   There is a higher chance xxx  than getting each of those bodies without the original engine for the same price as a 6 cyl body. 


Edited to remove politics. *******

I see an engine that you say is missing. …

Missing the original engine and trannsmission as stated in the ad.
Looks like a solid car for the money. Pay a shop like mine to do body and paint. Now add the extras and you'd be above that price.

Where are you located? I'm always in need of a good body/paint shop.

Let’s say this is a real x77. I’m  having trouble assessing the value of this car.   It has a really clean paint job and body work .  But the engine and trans are missing. 

Wondering what some of you value this car at ? Not what you would pay but what you think the car is worth based on what you see in the ad. 

50k?  How far off am I ?

haha what a mess.  body "BY" fisher.   The bottom of the Y align in different areas of the N below it on both.   I really hate that this many camaros are faked.
The numbers under BODY aren't even close in one to the next.

The "6" in "69" looks different.

Yes agree  and the "9" is also clearly different.  Look at the 8pm position of the one 9, the flat spot.

Me: curious if you have any documentation to prove its a 396 car?
Seller: Thanks for looking but car sold.

I get the same response a lot when I ask Camaro guys for info on cars they are selling.  They ask top dollar, plus some kind of its a POS tax with no interior,  and then don't want to spend 2 seconds authenticating the car at all.   

You would think a little time spent authenticating and documenting a car like that would go a long way w/a sale.

...next.

Is the underside of the hood usually black?  Just noticed what also appears as a test patch of primer under the hood and possibly fire damaged peeling paint.

The more I look at it, the more questions I have.

not sure why they would have painted  over stripes if was survivor.
The "3" in the vin# looks modified or is a blurred photo.
