I've had this car for almost 20 years and would like to see what else is out there.

This Pro-Street Camaro SS is a True Street machine. It has head lights, turn signals and brake lights on it. Even the original dimmer switch on floor. This car has always been stored inside and covered. I am hoping to sell my Camaro.
I also have many other parts that can be purchased with the car if interested.
The car is very quick for being all motor. It runs low 6's in the eighth and 9's in the quarter.
This car has won numerous awards over the years including Best of Show at show of over 300 cars, many 1st place awards, Best Engine, Best Muscle car, Best Chevy, Best Pro-Street and Super Chevy's Editors Choice Drag Car Award. The car has also been featured on several posters from Camaro's Unlimited site on Facebook. This car is a real head turner!!!! It won't disappoint you.
So if you want a turn key car that will excite you every time you look at it or start it up for less than half of what is invested in it, this is the car for you.!!!
Serious inquires only.
Please don't waste my time. No consigners, tire kickers or low ball offers, I don't have to sell the car.
