Looking for my old Camaro, please help.

Looking for my old 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (VIN: 2G1FP22P7R2133130)

*Red with a black-painted hardtop

*T56 6-speed manual

*Sold in 2016

*Approximately 144,000 miles when sold

*C5 Corvette wheels

*Lowered suspension

*LT1 with aftermarket aluminum cylinder heads (Edlebrock)

*GM Performance Parts LT4 "Hot Cam"

*LT4 intake manifold

*BBK exhaust headers

*4.10 rear gears

*Turkeys for scale

I'd love to know if it's still around and possibly buy it back. I didnt have the space for it and was in need of some money. The paradigm changed quickly after and I've been regretting it for a decade. I know the guy I sold it to sold it but did have or wouldn't give me any information. I built her when I was 24 and she got me through a divorce and 2 babies, 12 years on flat-rate and instilled a love of cars into my son that has driven him to pursue mechanical engineering as a career. Any help is appreciated. DM me if you're more comfortable.

Crown Victoria chassis swap

Over the last month I've been trying my hand at swapping a Foxbody front clip into my 64 fairlane. Just can't get it right. The engine cradle either doesnt line up the driveline correctly or the wheelbase and track is borked. While cruising marketplace for ideas, I found a few people selling '03-'11 Crown Vic clips (apparently they're super popular for F100 builds) and I started looking into for Eliza. Going down the Panther Chassis rabbit hole got me thinking that just plopping the body on a Chassis is a full win. P71 handling, EFI 4.6L with a minimum 235HP, easy Coyote or Godzilla swap later, the wheelbases are like an inch away from each other. The only down side seems that I have to do some modifications to accommodate a manual transmission. Is this a stroke of genius or just a stroke? Crazy and lazy or pure hotrodder ingenuity?

Just needs a little JB Weld, amirite?

John Deere 6068 in a Vactor 2100Plus. Fans exploded in a spectacular fashion. The block got a chunk broke off at the cam bearing. The Foreman thinks we can JB Weld the chip and RTV the piss out of the new Bellhousing. I told him, bro needs a short-block or a used momo. Amazingly, the Cotta gear box is undamaged minus the Bellhousing. Wild shit.

Epic failure is epic.

Auxiliary engine for a Vactor 2100Plus. Fans exploded and broke the bellhousing upto and including the engine block. I don't think I can fix this.

My girl is cooked after only 9 months :(

Thought i saved her from a slow death of rotting in The Bronx back in September 2025. The cancer was seen when purchased and when making her drivable it was at a Stage 2 in the shock towers. A common enough place. I thought i had some time but while replacing the broken and rotted springs I bought it with, it was discovered that it had metastasized to the unibody and engine cradle mounts. I don't think i can save her. It feels like too much work versus buying a roller and tossing the driveline into it.

Foxbodification attempt #1: Fail

'64 Fairlane 2dr sedan. Replacing the stock front suspension with something based mainly on a Foxbody. Got the cradle to fit, but, its about an inch too far forward. We're going to move it back next weekend. We were pretty excited to see the suspension roughly mocked up, and to verify the wheels we got for $100 will likely fit.
