And some more outside

From the outside the engine looks very clean and unmolested. Stock heat tapes/wraps, stock clamps, stock wires, hoses...etc. No visible leaks or anything, at least from the pics. Just the aftermarket CAI.
Of course we don't know what the engine looks like inside or it's maintenance history. But you may have yourself a nice clean platform to build on or simply to maintain and enjoy. I do notice the previous owner did a little debadging as you do not have the CAMARO fender emblems. I think the late model year 2010 models did not have the GM chiclets. But overall, he did the car very tastefully.

Beautiful car. Very nice condition and it looks like the previous owner took care and loved her right. Just a little info for you, it looks like you have a late 2010 production model as you have the rear bumper proximity sensors. Early 2010 models such as mine did not have them yet.

Thanks a lot InFid3vil, yeah I am definitely going to need advice from people on here. Yes the car is immaculately clean inside and out and was clearly loved, gives me an awesome base to start from. I wish I was as mechanically minded as some people on here so I could do my own work... maybe I can learn as I go

Fantastic purchase! I have yet to see a 5th gen that I'm not drawn to. Yours is a prime example. Great color combo. MOD wise I've noticed 10 different experts equals 10 different opinions so use your good judgment. I think in it's current form you'll discover the car will do whatever you ask (or TELL) it to do. Enjoy.

Yeah those are the factory manifolds so nothing done there. Might have a different exhaust on it if it sounds better/louder/different.

Looks like a solid find. Congrats & welcome to C5!
Side note...noticed it looks like you are missing at least one of the wiper arm nut covers.
