2015 Z/28 damaged and available - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I unfortunately damaged the front of my 5,000 mile Z/28 and am considering not repairing it, just selling it. I had the engine modified by Redline Motosports, Phase #3. The incident did not impact the engine. Just a lot of body work and front subframe. This car can be a great platform as you can either rebuild or use the engine, ceramic brakes, wheels, Recaro interior, etc.
For those with a serious interest, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

It may help to post several pics and your asking price. Without doing at least that, having only 2 posts in over 5 years, and your 2nd post is to sell the holy grail end-all-be-all Camaro Z/28, looks mega-sketchy plus plus. I wouldn’t think anyone would consider any kind of major transaction with you without a lot more information from your end.

Thank you for the advise. I will post pics and I can assure anyone with interest this is real. It has been my garage queen and I had a mis-hap.

The repair estimate (retail) from the body shop is $27,000.

What number is your car? Last 8 of vin.

I prefer not to post my VIN publicly

Dr Chill · 01-01-2020, 09:24 PM

I guess your insurance company doesn't want to consider it totaled? What did the Redline Phase 3 upgrade cost?

Man sad sight. I see worse ones sell on Copart all the time I'm sure a shop like Hawks Performance would be interested I know they buy a few of these and part them out or fix them depending on damage.

Did the airbags deploy? Where in FL?

DRKS1D3 · 01-02-2020, 12:44 PM

Is there at least an interesting, non-embarrassing story that goes along with this unfortunate incident?

HoodCheck · 01-02-2020, 02:58 PM

Autotrader posts vins, cargurus, etc...posting your vin isn't going to cause you any harm. Its like hiding a license plate #; no point. Build numbers low enough may get a more interested buyer. Shame to see this happened though :(

Thank you for the comments.
I was told by the auto body shop this morning, they are finishing the inspections and estimate; two items remain to inspect (as requested by the insurance company), to place the car on a frame machine and provide measurements and the inspect the engine. So far, it is not totaled.
Once completed, I will provide to those who have PM'd me an update (final body shop estimate, offer price and additional pics from the body shop).

To answer comments above:
1. The Redline Motorsports Phase 3 was $12,000 (Summer 2018)
2. No airbags deployed; I actually was lucky and slid off wet road in between two trees; thus no real direct front impact and no airbags. Think of this as making a field goal. AND yes, embarassing

3. I do not want to post the VIN, as this is private and the next owner may not want it posted either. Obviously for those who have inquired to purchase this, they will receive all of the details.

Thank you.
