I also believe they are readily available and can be bought around the 100-200 dollar area. Disc are only a plus if they are real nice and you don't plan on refurbishing them. I actually thought about buying a couple and restore/refurbish them with POR15 and all new bushings and new disc brakes and trying to sell them. But not a big market for a ready to go subframe.

These are easy to find when you are not looking for them. Tough to find a clean one when you are looking. If the one you have access to has clean mounting holes, I'd grab it. Do some measurements first and make sure it is straight.

I've sold subframes anywhere from $100 (usable with a little work on the body mounts) to $350 (really nice, no rust or problems, ready to paint and use), depending on overall condition and the year they came from if someone is looking for something specific.
To ship, they generally need strapped to a skid and sent truck freight. The trend is true..... when I have a few, they sometimes don't sell quickly. When I have none, I'll get several requests in a short period of time. If you need a frame, and it's in decent shape, you'll be fine at that price.

Not surprised that I didnt get more response......but I was thinking that many/most of the misc Mid-West/Eastern Camaros that get floors, qtrs, etc replaced due to rust, would have rust pitted subframes that would make for unattractive restorations.
I am probably going to pick-up this OK western complete frame, just to have on hand.

I'd also agree that the clean pieces we have out here in the PNW will bring a premium over those pieces from the midwest and east coast that have been in road salt. Seems to be worth picking up at that price.
