I am looking to unload a 2010 6.2L 6 speed manual V8 Camaro with a Billy Boat sport exhaust system on it.  Pristine condition, only about 7,000 miles on it, stored when not using...red.

What I may do is ship it to Europe and drive it around the autobaun for a couple of days and unload it there, we'll see.

I get the motor hot and use an air ratchet or a 3/8 impact gun to get them  out and a snap on 9/16 extra deep plug socket. most of the time spraying dont work. if they are going to snap they are going to snap nothing you can do about it. Since using air tools on them I have broken  just 2 plugs out of about 15 sets so far, using  hand tools and spray the rate was  1 or 2 plugs on every set. Getting the aftermarket broken plug extractor is a big time save also, the one Ford tell us to use bites the weenie.

Never broken off a spark plug.

Making sure you have zero side loading and buying yourself time to let penetrant do it's job is worth it.

Nissan single cam V6 will do this as well.

Dropped price to $2500.00
It does need 1 Brake line replaced, but not an expensive fix.
Daughter's Wedding coming up fast, so gotta sell asap.

Yo, drive it to a carmax and see what they offer.  If you are right about how much it is worth you should be able to get what you are asking for it.

 Icepac I very rarely cracked one either until Ford came out with a piece of poo.... in the pic I posted below, from the plug seat down breaks off and gets stuck in the head due to the carbon build up. I have broken them in new truck with less than 1k on them before anyone even knew there would be a problem with the design of them and before they made extractors to get the broken ones out. so in other words I had to remove the head get the plug out put it back together so I could do the compression test to find a bad valve seat on the opposite bank and remove that head. Now I know what you are going to say, "why did I not pull both heads off wile I was there" but.......it's the Ford way of doing things by the "BOOK" that bites me in the A.r.s.e every time, Ford tech was involved since it was the first few months of the 3v and it had to be don their way.

Another guy at the shop got scared after he couldn't budge any of the plugs on this car so I got it hot and they came right out.

Basic physics dictates that the hole gets bigger when the metal expands due to heat.

Aluminum expands at a much higher rate than the steel of the spark plugs.

I never use any air tools on spark plugs.

Same guy who couldn't budge the spark plugs ended up wrecking this one last week.

Working in this shop is like trying to take fields with the knights.
