History / Restoration Got a question about Third Gen (1982-1992) Camaro or Firebird history? Where can I find these original parts? What is this option or RPO code? Those questions, answers, and more!

Search and you will find out 4th gen F-Body wheels will not fit on a 3rd gen w/o spacers. 4th gen F-Body front suspension will not fit on a 3rd gen w/o severe and drastic modification.
Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
The 1986 is a Convertible to boot... sounds like a nice one too...
Notice how ALL three of those cars started life with an LG4?
Thanks for the tip, I would be interested in seeing what they go for...

Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
Look at that '92 Z28 on there. It's white, but the exterior is completely custom, looks nothing like a Camaro. I didn't even notice it till I saw the car description.
Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
I actually don't really like the white one. I think the covers over the rear wheels just make me think Oldsmobile. However, if someone would buy me the orange car (flat tire and all) I'd be forever in their debt.
Re: Camaro pace cars (Champ Car liquidation auction)
Is it me, or do those hood louvers on the orange one (with the flat) look. . . real??? Intresting amount of switches and do-hickey's on the center console too. . .
