It is that time of year for me to sell my summer car. It is a clean title (no accidents), 2000 Camaro SS, Red with black “manta” stripe and pin strip, Black leather interior. The car has T-tops, power everything windows lock and seats. It is located in South Lyon mi.
The car’s Vin is for a V6, but I ended up doing an LS6 5.7L V8 engine swap to it. I will list ALL of the miles including the body and suspension to give you the most information.
The car runs perfect and was at one time my daily driver. The car was never raced it and waxed it monthly, the interior was cleaned and conditioned monthly as-well (using professional products, not armor-all). I recently bought a new project so it is time for the Camaro to go to someone who will drive and enjoy it.
There is a long list of modifications so please bare with me as I try to remember and list them all, I have put over $13,000 into it over the years and it has truly been my baby.

This car has been babied its whole life. After the break-in period of the engine swap I did do one quarter mile run to see what it ran. Just did one quarter mile run then after that it has never been raced or drove hard. The car ran an 11.53 quarter mile, may have been better if I did it more then once and learned the correct start.
Miles on engine: 21,xxx
Miles read on gauge: 86,xxx (Had to be swapped out with engine to match the V8’s stock 150 mph gauge, Its is illegal to reset these and are recorded in gauge so that is why its doesn’t match anything)
Miles on chassis: 119,xxx (Many parts were replaced during swap including brake rotors, pads, calibers, upper and lower A-Arms, bearings, etc…)
I am asking $9,000 O.B.O. for it which is a very good price vs. comparable cars. Test drive only in nicer weather please.

Engine:
- I bought the engine out of a 2004 Corvette which makes it a LS6.
- When I bought the engine it had 30k miles on it
- Before doing the swap I had it taken completely apart and had all parts checked, honed, or resurfaced by a reputable engine shop.
- When doing the Swap I replaced all necessarily parts which would cause someone to consider it a brand new engine
- Everything was then put back together with performance parts I will list next and then once again checked by Victory Racing Engines.
- Engine and all necessarily parts to make this a full V8 swap was installed by Victory Racing engines
