[h=1]IROC Two-Fer: 22,677 Mile Camaro Z28 + Parts Car[/h] image: http://barnfinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/00x0x_7GUBeOFaMpa_1200x900-e1470254855559-630x430.jpg
This seems like a relative bargain for any Z28-hungry readers in our audience. First, you have a genuine 22,677 original mile ’86 Camaro Z28 here on craigslist, and the seller is also allowing a buyer to strip an ’89 Camaro Z28 bare for parts if you desire. Two interesting catches: the ’86 retains a clean title despite a slight mishap in its past; as per the parts car, the seller does not want it removed from his property for some reason, so you’ll need to conduct any and all parts removal on his premises, after which it’s going to the crusher. He’s asking $5,500 for the Z28 and all parts.

Now, you may be wondering why a full parts car is needed for such a low-mileage example. I don’t know either! (Wink, wink). The blue ’86 was bought by the seller in 2007, and the Camaro was owned by his friend up until that point. All said and done, it has been in storage for the last 20 years. The second owner bought it from the Ed Rinke Chevrolet dealership, where the dealer owner (Ed, I presume) had held onto the car since new and never did much with it. It’s well-optioned, with T-Tops, an OEM keypad theft deterrent system, and dual exhaust. It was also never insured!

Ah, here’s the issue: it turns out that the second owner’s son drove the Camaro into a parked construction trailer. Ouch! I can only imagine what his father must have wanted to do when he saw his unicorn Camaro wrecked for such dumb reasons. While it may seem unfortunate that the owner hadn’t taken out an insurance policy, it did keep the low-mileage Z28’s title status clear and clean, which likely makes it more valuable than if it had been repaired and the insurance company declared it totaled – a likelihood in the late 2000’s and on a non-collector car policy.

Here’s the parts car that’s in the seller’s garage. It looks like it attempted a barrel roll at one point in time, thus sending it to an insurance auction. It is curious why the seller doesn’t want this car to leave his garage – any guesses why? Effectively, if you buy this combo platter, you can take all the body panels you need to repair the blue car – but then you’ll have to repaint it. So you’ll emerge with a super low mileage Z28 but it won’t be original paint. What do you think of this deal, and why does the seller not want the maroon car to leave his garage except to go to the crusher?
