The BEAST is home!

[JeffM]

Just picked this guy up this afternoon:









Picked up a one-way ticket on an Amtrak train this morning at 8am, and rode it 5 hours to washington DC.. This car's owner met me there, and then I drove it back home 320 miles. I LOVE IT!

It's everything I was hoping for! Used to have a 94 Formula, but as auto, and this one is a 6 speed. It's a 96 with 79K on it. Bone stock. Clean as a whistle. It's so tight and smooth.. I love it. I just hope it's not raining tomorrow!

And T-Tops rock!!!

One question. Is the shifter supposed to shake around a lot? Is that normal? It doesn't pop out of gear or anything, but under normal driving it looks to shake about a half centimeter in any direction. . Figured it's normal for this type of car..

very nice car im sure you will have alot of fun. do you plan to keep it stock and if not what mods?

[JeffM]

It'll stay stock for a little while, then I'll get the basics to start.. I haven't decided where I want to go with it yet.. we'll see.

The shifter normally shakes around a bit. It is, after all attached directly to the drivetrain. MAny vibrations from the engine and road are transmitted through it. I like that, though. It allows you to feel more of the car and experience more.

That's what I figured. Thanks for clearing it up!

Very nice. It looks really clean too. Enjoy.

I miss my T-tops!!

Good find! I always thought silver looked especially good on these cars. How much did you pay for it?

[JeffM]

Joe, I talked the guy down to $6k flat out the door. Has 79,800 on the ticker, bone stock, mint, tight..

I think I got a good deal! KBB is like close to $7k.

[Jeff_in_Atl]

Sounds like a good deal to me.

[Ruz]

That seems like a great deal. About 2 years ago I sold my '95 with a 3.8L in it with about 72K miles for $9,000.

Call me crazy, but I thought all the 96 Camaro cloth seats had the "zebra pattern" on them. At least mine does....with the light grey interior.
