Well I think I am going to part ways with the camaro. I bought this car less than a year ago from mike (mcalus) on here for $6500!
Heres the run down. I really wanted the camaro and was more than happy when I bought it, but I don't have time to maintain it at this point.
I noticed after I got the car that it had a few small drips underneath it on the garage floor. I couldn't find the leak. Well last night I tore into the car (removed alternator and A/C compressor) and it looks like it needs a new water pump, power steering pump, and rack and pinion. The car runs great, but I don't have the time to fix it right now. I drove it to the M/G, and I have driven it all over. The power steering pump started to wine a couple of weeks ago, and I figured that is where the leak was coming from, but after removing the alternator I don't see a leak from the pump but there is small drops of power steering fluid on the rack. I believe that the reason I had the drips is because the water pump was leaking and then blowing back over the oil pan and the bottom side of the car.
The car actually runs great. It has almost 105K miles on it. I think I have put 1200 miles on it since I purchased it at the end of July last year. I have averaged just over 22mpg. I have put all new brakes on it front and back. This included rotors and pads. I also replaced the drivers side wheel bearing and axle last month and put maybe 400 miles on it since then. I have also done 3 oil changes on the car in that time. Once last year before storage, this march when I got it out of storage, and then right before the M/G.
I looked up parts and I can get everything to make it like new for 500 dollars, but again I don't have the time right now. If no one is interested I will hold onto it and fix it this fall when I have more time, and when I want to spend the money, but right now I have other priorities.
So I am asking $5000 firm. If you guys think I am crazy, tell me, it won't hurt my feelings.

I have owned this car since 68,xxx, I bought it from a man in his 30s from Oklahoma City, OK. He had it since 5,000 miles so he basically bought it new. I have used Pennzoil 5w30 oil in it every oil change (3,000 miles). Some small dings but I have kept the car in good condition. No major stains, interior is in good shape other than some normal wear on drivers seat from getting in. The car shifts and drives smooth with no complaints.
