I'm glad you were able to save it. I also thought it looked too nice to use as a donor.

Does it have a salvage title?

I have a bill of sale with odometer statement verifying 80K is actual mileage. Should have it legal soon.

Paid $500 for some Continental DWS06 245F & 275R tires on BMW 20x8.5F & 20x10R forged rims. 85% tread. These weigh 11lbs less per wheel than what was on the car. I will paint them black & use SS center caps.

Since I'm keeping the 2011 Camaro 2SS convertible. I bought another donor, 2011 Camaro 2SS coupe with 6 speed manual transmission. Paid $5,600 including auction fees for this one. Manual car Rear-end center section sells on Ebay for $1,000. Brembo calipers $400-500 plus who knows what else I can sell once I'm done taking what I need.
