looking at a couple SS found in Ontario Canada, they are black and the navy blue...just wondering if this is anyones from on here? Dont have the VIN's yet

the dark blue has black rims with red outline and there is a black one, both have the red interior and both are manual. Found in Niagara Falls and Guelph area.

Nope never seen either of these!!

anyone else from the ontario area??

that black one has been there a while. Havent seen the blue one, is it a private sale?
which one are you leaning toward?

skyline26

havent tried either...im going to go on saturday and take them for a spin...but just looking at pictures i do like the top one. Both are manual so this is going to be interesting lol

well i tried the black one in the second picture...it was manual, paint is in rough shape! swirls and faded, got the rusty door seams with rust starting the bottom corner on the outside of door because of it. Quite easy to drive manual on these, i was surprised. Havent done so in awhile but something seems off with this car. Had hardly any power! i had my foot to the floor and this thing wasnt going anywhere. Should be chirping tires in like first or second but nowhere near doing that! The salesman said its because they have regular gas in it..but no way it would tame it down THAT much! my 2.2 has about the same power as this SS has.
Sucks for the one in the first pic because when i went to go see it the dealer said they sent it off to a dealer-only auction so couldnt test drive that one. It was manual also wich would have been nice to compare it to the first one i tried.
I then went to another one which i happened to find last minute. Automatic. TONS more power than the original manual one i tried so clearly there is something wrong with that one. lol But again it seemed in rough shape. Neither of them have been undercoated for the winters which is such a shame. They are soo rusty underneath and the doors are a mess!
So the hunt continues! I hope i get to check out that one at the auction somehow! The salesman said its in pristine condition from the previous owner! lots of mods done to it so we'll see.
So a heads up for anyone here in Ontario..stay away from the Black SS in Guelph, its a money pit! Rough shape!

Car salesman Car salesman will tell you anything.....that is mostly NOT true. Just something to ponder....if it was in such pristine condition, why did it go to wholesale dealers auction, where it will be purchased for far less than what a dealer will retail it to a consumer??? At least that has been my experiences for the past 40 years.

ya this one salesman seemed like a dick! he kept saying that if he doesnt get the price he wants at the auction then he isnt selling it! He looks and talks like a real hillbilly lol he has no idea what this car is, just the fact that it has some aftermarket rims and dual exhaust he thinks the car is priceless! And supposedly, according to him, it came from New Brunswick (canada). He kept re-stating this, but not sure why? like who cares that its from there..no big deal! So im going to get my buddy to check in on this dealer only auction and see whats going on if the things hes saying about it is true

I'm not surprised it went to auction, any car that's been "messed with" is going to be a hard sell. He should have known that before buying.

its insane how hard it is to find an SS! there used to be soo many on autotrader, for example, and now nothing!

haha ya but that salesman thinks just because of the custom exhaust it should be worth another 2 grand on top of what hes asking for..hes in his own little world
