I had one at one time. I miss it at times mainly because of all the $$$ I had put into the motor. I sold it to a freind also and he blew the motor up being stupid in it. Dont even know what happend to it now.

jon_volk · 11-17-2003, 10:11 AM

weeeeeeeeeeell since we're postin camaro pics.....

heres the 92 i picked up back in may. 85k miles, one owner, looks like it was garaged as you could eat off the undercarraige.

jon_volk · 11-17-2003, 10:13 AM

color is dark green grey...only offered in 92 for the 25th anniversary. never saw one in this color untill i bought mine...now its my fav.

Ken that’s a cool yet disappointing story.

I think that sucker looks good the way it was.

Yeah, the sad part is, if I had only known I would get it back, I could have saved the chrome. Oh well.

It needs to be blown apart any way. The silver painted parts would be alright, but the passion purple accents are a bit dated. I plan to do a two-tone, leaving the top black, and the bottom ...???.

I'm looking at the rear, trying to decide if I want to mini-tub it, or just leave it alone. I guess I need to get my ducks in a row and start on it. My daughter is 11 now. I don't have to long to wait...

bigd65 · 11-17-2003, 11:50 AM

Man , i wish i had a camaro sitting in my garage for 7 years.

cool story N2TRUXS. that car has a lot of history. that would be a neat car fr your daughter to enjoy.

My wife's family gave ours to us when we were both in grad school. We were short on cash at the time, and are just now getting well enough established in our jobs that we have a little time and money left over. The car has had a lot of money spent on cosmetics, but nothing has been done to the suspension, brakes, or drivetrain since the 1970s. It is scary to drive with a half turn of play in the wheel and poorly functioning brakes.

You have to spend your money on your primary form of transportation first to make sure you can get to work. Then you spend it on the toys when you can afford it.

N2TRUX, how old are you? I was thinking that you were more my age, but if you had a wife and atleast one car in '83 then I am off by a long shot.

*1FaastC10* · 11-17-2003, 09:17 PM

i'd guess N2TRUX is right up there with Mike, cuz i dont know any young guy who has quite as many toys as he does. what else do you have hiding in that garage? BTW, N2TRUX, jon_volk, and Timspeed. thanks guys. you've made me realize that no matter what i've got in my driveway/garage, i've got a place where i belong, and its right here.

No problem guy. We all get the itch to do different things now and then. That's just part of life. Just because we change interests, doesn't mean we change as a person.

I have just as many people I can call friends on the Ford truck forums, as I do on the GM truck forums. Once you get past the brand loyalty, or car vs truck preference, we are all hotrodders underneath

1FaastC10, I'm an old dude in your world. I turned 46 in June. I am NOT as old as Mike though. He's as old as dirt...:p

Slonaker · 11-17-2003, 11:17 PM

Damn. I thought I was old...

*1FaastC10* · 11-18-2003, 01:33 AM

Slonaker, i didnt mean to leave you out in my last post... ok, well, i kinda did. seeing the guys with the 3rd gens just hit a little closer to me than your 1st gen did. i hope you dont take this the wrong way, it looks like a kick ass car and should be alot of fun.

MylilBowTie · 11-18-2003, 02:24 AM

Mine doesn't look like much yet but I hope to help that. I always wanted a 86-90 Iroc-z since I have been about 8 years old. I didn't know they where iroc's/z28 then but I really really like the body style, rims and hoods. This 88 came along at the right time and I had the money so now its in my driveway.

Tim got anymore pics of the Iroc??? If you would could you email em to me?

*1FaastC10* · 11-18-2003, 04:33 AM

my bad mylilbowtie, just rattled off the ones that came to mind. didnt mean to leave you out either

Dirty Dan · 11-18-2003, 05:01 AM

Wow, thats a good looking camaro TIMSPEED.

LOHRTBT · 11-18-2003, 10:58 AM

Cool Story....Dont make me pull out all my 3rd gens!! lol

BASTARD!!!

No, the thought didn't even cross my mind, actually.

Besides, I know the first generation F-bodies are by far superior to the newer ones anyway, so I'm not offended. Boy, am I gonna get flamed for THAT remark...

Slonaker

*1FaastC10* · 11-18-2003, 01:06 PM

lol, you wont get flamed from me... at least yours has a grille to put a bowtie in the middle of. i think 3rd Gen Camaros would've looked a whole lot sweeter had they put a grille between the headlights

Definitely. If ours had not been given to us, I would not be able to afford it.

Jonboy · 11-18-2003, 06:36 PM

Since we are posting pics, here is one of my last third gen, a 92 Z28

Lynx · 11-18-2003, 08:25 PM

NOooooo! That's the last thing I need is another forum to post on. It's all I can do to keep up with the ones I post on now.

I haven't been active on the 3rd gen sites in a loooong time. I need to get back on them again, so I can get motivated to rebuild her car.

As for the 1st gen remark......

*1FaastC10* · 11-19-2003, 03:01 AM

come on over to thirdgen.org, i post as BackInBlack86 over there. you know you want to...
