I have owned a small fleet of Camaros over the years. Mainly 1st Gens, one 2nd Gen and currently (2) 3rd Gens. Calvin and I discussed getting a 4th Gen on Saturday. Saturday night I see this ad on FB Marketplace.
So a few messages and text messages leads to
Prior to chasing it down we had an exchange on messenger...
He sent me a text receipt and I did not catch the price until I was about to post this.
I will be working off the $300 that I paid.
Camaro parts are very common.
located minutes away from my friends house
He through in a plastic fuel tank and a mini-tub sheet metal kit.
wanna make some recoup on those hideous frontrunners?
The LT1, TH700R4, engine and mid plates, front end parts and the seats will be for sale ASAP. Leave a note if interested. PM on this site does not work as it is tied to a dead email.

No thank you. Tires are like new.
September 27, 2019 I picked up (2) roll cages that were chopped out and being scrapped. We will be re-purposing a significant portion of it.
I'm looking forward to seeing another screaming-quick drag challenger.
Nice score Andrew!
(got to get on FB, CL is apparently dead these days...)
So 5.3 with wide ring gaps and a 200 shot?

I am still nailing good deals on CL. Picked up (2) more TH400 on way back from picking up a FBMP deal. Both trannies were low usage, one was rebuilt with a new converter for $200 for the pair.

Hope to hit it with more...
Placed an ad to sell the engine first
took minutes and already had 2 interested buyers. 2nd guy asked about the trans and I had not posted it. So that led to ...
Goodbye
Love FB messenger, great score Andy!
Like all your other builds, I'll be following this one. I've always wanted a 4th Gen. Nice score!
Did a real bonehead move tonight. Bought our engine for $300 with harness computer. I pulled the heads and placed an on FB Market Place.....
Then... I deleted the ad before screen shooting the sale for $375. I even replied to the last message and recorded the sale time at 4:48pm on 01/28/2020. I am such a bonehead
So now I am going to be extra cautious now...
I bought the front end, plates and min-tub kit for $200. Advertised the plates for $200. Have the midplate sold for $125 with the shipping. Shipping if $21.27. Netting a sell down on $103.73.
Definitely following along! Facebook Marketplace is really handy.

Craigslist is still a great source. But nothing beat a good flea market.
EDITED 3-11-2020 : Sold car for $425 with out the front wheels and tires. Documenting here since they will be used on a future Challenge car.
