SSX/Z06

Well, the guy with the Camaro called me back on Sunday. He said he couldn't come up with the $1k, but he'd still do the deal at a straight across trade. I told him if he put the exhaust back to stock(minus the cat back), I'd do it pending it drove okay and passed smog. He said he'd get the car ready and call we when it was done, which was supposed to be today or tomorrow. In the mean time, I get a call from a guy who wants to buy my Denali outright, no trade. But since I have this deal pending I told him I'd let him know by Thursday if it went through. I'd get atleast $2k in my pocket if I sold the Yukon to the other guy, but I wanted that Camaro. Only 1 of 1000 or so 35th Anniv. Edition 6 Speeds. I just tried to call him to see how it was going, and his cell is disconnected now! That's not a good sign, I have his mom's house # to try still. I'm sure things are okay, but it makes me wonder.

What about the Pot Lot dealer that was going to drive over the Goat so you could check her out? Dude - you have quite a few balls in the air right about now... The Camero does sound cool, but this is a GTO forum, just a little bias, only a little though. At least you are not looking at an 84 Mustang SVO, or something along those lines...

Ya, I've got a lot going on but that way I've got a leg or 2 to fall back on if the Camaro deal doesn't go through. I haven't called the lot with the Goat back cause I thought the Camaro was a done deal. If I end up selling the Denali, I'll be calling them up.

Of course I expect opinions to be a lil biased, just like when guys come on the vette forum and ask," Should I get a Vette or a Cobra?" They get ripped apart usually. I asked what some of the vette guys what they would get, the SS or Goat. The responses were mixed, about 40% Goat.

In my defense I'll say if it was a regular SS, I'd get the GTO. But since it's a rare model that's why I'm after it.

I appreciate all the opinions and kind words from this forum. You guys have been a big help.

You say the Camaro is one of only 1000, 35th anniversary 6 speed Camaro's. I haven't heard all the details, but if it is a 2002, which is the 35th anniversary, there was a bunch more than a 1000 6 speeds. There was a special red with silver stripe package SS Aniversary and if that is what this car is, I'd get in touch with SLP before buying it.

SLP will be able to tell you everything about the car. How many were made with the option groups it has and what that car should have on it for stock. They will have records as to wether body parts were ordered for the car. You just need the VIN.

Not knowing the mileage, I'd guess it to be worth 12,000-13,000 if it has over 60,000 miles. If it has 30-60,000 miles 13-16,000. Under 30 but above 15,000 miles and it's worth in the ballpark of 18-20,000. It sounds like it's been molested, so it loses some colector value.

Yes all 02's are 35th Anniv. models, but it's the red w/ silver stripe 35th Anniv. Edition that they made around 1k in a 6 speed coupe, from the production #'s I've found on the net. It has 28k miles, pretty low for a 6 year old car. The parts on the car, minus the headers and off road y pipe, are the same offered from SLP. Value wise, it's gonna hold it's value better than my Yukon Denali I can tell you that. I didn't think of contacting SLP, thanks for the idea!
