Got an offer on our house last night and it looks like I'll likely have to sell my baby to get into the house we want.
Many of you have seen my car before but I'll post pics here:

33,XXX on the odometer. I believe it's true mileage but no documentation to back it.
Modifications:
PM me if interested. I have a couple things I need to mess with on the car as I was in the middle of winter maintenance when this happened. House sold a LOT faster than expected. I'll likely list on Ebay on Wednesday if no interest before then. Wanted to give you guys first shot.
I won't lie: she's not perfect but she's in solid condition and despite it being a six with the new trans the tires spin just fine. It's kind of fun showing up at a car show or meet and confusing people with it. The most common thing to hear is "That doesn't sound like a 6!". It's fun to be at a show and watch guys walking along the line of Camaros without stopping until they get about halfway past my engine bay and realize what they're looking at.
The bad:
-Second gear is slipping under full load. I think it might just be low trans fluid. I'll know more this weekend. That said she's very quick now for a little 6 banger. Definitely faster than a stock 327 2 bbl. Maybe as quick as a stock 327 4bbl or faster depending on the trans.
-Acting like a vacuum leak. Might be the vac advance or something similar. Again: working on it this weekend.
-I patched the floors 2 years ago. It's solid but my welding skills are lacking. If you're a perfectionist you'll likely want to replace with full floors.
-Passenger side door shows evidence of a previous dent that was pulled back in the day when nobody cared about these cars. It was straightened and has a thin coat of bondo. No cracking, however. Just something to note.
-Needs new carpet or stain existing. Original to the car so I didn't touch it but if you want a perfect show car you'll need to address.
-Slight oil leak somewhere. I'm tracking it down to fix this weekend if time allows.
I've put a ton of effort and time into this over the past 4 years. I probably have close to 24k in it now. I didn't keep receipts or anything because I intended to keep the car but life changes and here I am.
If the buyer is local I'll even help work on it if you get into a project down the road. The caveat is I get to ride in it again. As I said: she's my baby and I don't want to lose her but my priority is getting my kids into a house with a bigger yard and better schools.
Some of the trophies:

First place in mild modified at Camaro Nations 2 years ago. Second place last year. Participant judging, not the nit-pickers, though. Couple wins at the Maryland Chevy Show, and a couple local show trophies that I happened to enter. I think there were only 2 shows I entered where I didn't walk away with a trophy or plaque. It was always just a fun family cruiser and not a true show car. Just something I could be proud of without keeping it hermetically sealed.
