Hey this my first car. It is a 1987 Camaro 305 V8. It is all stock except for a new exhaust system and an Edelbrock Carb. (( which can bee seen below)) It is rust free and runs strong. Although paint is starting to chip off and some places missing so im going to paint it eventually ((please suggest colors i should paint it)). Im also looking to put some IROC-Z rims on it too (( if some one is selling thiers please let me know!!)). So its a work in progress but tell me what you think so far. Also let me know what else would look cool on it or in it.

Not bad at all. Check my 87 RS if you find time. I just dont like that external 3rd brakelight on our 87 and under lol

The Project

Welcome to the board............

Go to the classified section and you will find LOTS of IROC rims for sale. GOld IROC rims would be nice!

As for colour......stay with the black or medium to dark blue.

FYI...........In case you were wondering, in Canada we do spell it colour not color. LOL

Welcome! Your right about needing some Iroc rims, cause those rims are UGLY. I also think you should keep it black. And maybe an Iroc hood or cowl hood. the stock hood is to plain and boaring for me.

Nice car, how is the interrior? You should gut all the A/C and its horrible cables and put some ceramic headers and that thing would look sweet...

Hey i agree with u about the rims and about the hood. I plan on buying a cowl hood before painting it. And i most likly will piant about the same dark blue tht it is currently. And also i am going to buy new headers and clean up tht big heap of wirey mess and get some new valve covers (probly chrome). Here are some interior pics and the third brake light.

Nice looking car, I used to have the same rims on my camaro
If you are gonna paint it I would go with silver or blue.

I don't think they are ugly only thing I don't like about them is no matter what you do they will always corrode thats why I got rid of mine.

That would look good, But be warned they will rust out your car so fast it wont be funny.

JimmyDavidson

Nice car... Here's what I would do if it was my car. I'd keep it like it is, a non-gfx car(especially dont add the 91-92 "snow plow" GFX, lol). Then I'd add a 2" 69 Camaro style cowl hood to it. I'd paint it black(or a darker Royal blue) and then Id either go with black or keep the tan interior, maybe go with leather seats though(but thats up to you). I'd probably put some different wheels, keep it 15" or 16" only though, any larger looks odd on a non-gfx car. Good luck with the car, looking forward to seeing its progress.

Tobias05

nice looking camaro! first thing i would do is to find a real instrument cluster, and swap appropriate senders. after that i'd get rid of that hideous 3rd brake light.

...curious. i thought that if an 87 came w/ a spoiler, it'd have the 3rd brake light in it? is the spoiler original?

i agree 91-92 GFX, and maybe a 91-92 z28 wing, rims, and hood. pretty good find, if i recall only '86 had that high mounted light (please correct me if i'm wrong)?

Yea you guys are correct about the third brake light in the 87's which mine is but it was made september of 86. The spoiler was on the car when i bought it and i can tell for shure that it was put on after origanally bought whether it was the first or second ower that did it. BTW thanks for all your guys suggestions and comments!!
----------
Early 1987 sport coupes had the option of having the rear spoiler or not so thts probly why the light is there.

DanniBoi91

Hey guys i just got done taking all of the stickers off of the camaro it looks so sharp will wash in morning and get pics up ASAP!

86NiteRider

Once you decide if you are staying "stock" or going modified to what ever level, you will know what to do. Nice car. Have fun with it is my suggestion. I have two different style, yet the same generation Camaro's in my '86 & my '92. Only your imagination and the availabilty of parts will hold you back. Stay with the dark colors like black or blue.

hey im thinking about buying those headers pretty soon. I need some good sounding headers and a good y pipe for less then $350. Ive heard so many different things on this site about all the different headers but dont kno who to believe so if any one could help me out tell me what sounds good and fits my price that would be great!! THNX!!!!

formul8!!

The Pole Position steering wheel and those rims need to go, but looks like a nice car!

I say keep it black and put some nice rims on there... U can most likely get away w/o the GFX like that, but it's your choice of course...

You sure that ain't an 86? 86 was the only year the brake light looked like that..


anyhow, nice car. And good job, that's way better'n my first car..



Oh yeah, and here's MY third brake light.

DanniBoi91

This is the car without those stripes on it.
Pretty soon im going to be buying a Headman Y-pipe and Hooker headers.

Nice car, have fun with it!

nice looking car,it looks mint..

Was that car stolen or did you pop off the ignition ring?

slow_90firebird

Nice find. If this is your first car, im sure you will really enjoy it - just be careful.

Anyhow, I was wondering if that was a bolt on exhaust system, or just a muffler, and how was it put on? I kinda like the way it sounds.

xgtharo86x

id say ditch the rims and steering wheel and put some gfx on it

I alsohave an 87, I haft to disagree with what most of everyone said. For sure get the spoiler brake light and ditch that one, But personally dont think you should put ground effects if it didnt come with them, why make it look like something its not?? I agree on the cowl hood, I just got one for mine and its in the paint shop now. You can get by with those rims, but Chrome irocs would look a lot cooler. I would also upgrade to the 145 speedometer becasue it can go well over 85, ive gotten mine to 130 and still had some push but i quit due to traffic ahead. Iveheard nothing but bad news with the edelbrock carbs so be careful with that. Love the car btw
