your's is an RS. the sportcoupe name was dropped after 88 and replaced by the rs in 89. the 88 sportcoupes had a very specific spoiler and said "camaro" on the gfx, though the rs package was released in late 87 in cali, 88 for some other select states, it wasn't till 89 that it was the base model.

Mine is a 85 Sport Coupe with new 350...

I've posted this in a separate thread, but it definitely belongs in here...

Sorry about the primed bottom and the general mess... it's a work in progress

A 1986 Sport Coupe, Canadian model. The only difference I could spot are the bilingual warning stickers.




There's also a black Sport Coupe of similar year around my neighbourhood (west Montreal island) - I'm hoping to catch that guy soon and ask stuff about his car

I am almost reluctant to post this. I bought my 85 sc in 2ooo. It had 25898 miles on it. I would have been a mint sc, but the kid i got it from, thought that just because primer is on sale that he should "prime" his car. He also tried to install some ***** lights so the headliner and headliner trim is messed up.

Since the paint was fubard, and i didnt have money to do it right cause i was in school, i went about with cant make it worse type of attitude and painted camo, just for laughs, used 89cent walmart paint.
This pic is from april 2003. Its all flat black now.

hahaha sweet. reminds me of a buddy back home.

Tobias05

two for one baby!



the red one in the back is mine. the white one is my buddies 85. the 85 recently got a set of z28 5 spokes and 2055's with a hooker catback.



heres a recent picture of mine. new goodmark cowl hood, and the bumper has been rattle canned a better matching red, lol. would love to paint it again, but theres a TON of rust. dunno if i'm going to try to save it, or find another LG4 87 SC.



finally the motor. shes a 350HO crate engine with a RPM intake, 650DP, hooker 2055's, and some MSD stuff. behind that is a custom edge 3200 TC, and a completely rebuilt 700r4 with all the goodies you can image. about to install a TV made EZ kit when i get home. stuffed an eaton posi and a set of 3.42s in the back. An aluminum LS1 DS connects the two.

For suspension i have moog iroc springs, gr-2s, 36mm hollow, wonderbar, sfcs, tubular lcas, zr1s, and some nittos.

Jonboy2312

I'd gladly take that scoop off your hands i might just have a use for it in another little project

Tobias05

oh good to go. I post a picture of my car, first time in forever and single handedly kill the thread.

GTAwheelman

i wish you would have asked sooner. because a couple weeks ago i removed it, and i wasnt kind to it. it broke in half.




the hood needs to be replaced. sadly i do not have the funds right now. it doesnt look as bad since i waxed it though.

Here's a shot of my '86 SC:

It's a pretty well optioned car: LG4, automatic, fog lights, cargo compartment cover, cargo shade and some other goodies. I'm in the middle of converting the LG4 to a TPI setup using a LS1 PCM.

Here's my other SC, it's an '83:

This was originally an Iron Duke car with almost no options. When I got it the 'Duke' was gone and a 307 was under the hood. After I tore out the interior I found some body work someone tried to do from the inside. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or use it for parts; my son wants me to run it at the local demolition derby during our county fair but I don't know about that one.

I pulled my sport coupe from storage for a quick exercise. On top of that, I replaced the smashed passenger side fender (which was a bitch by the way). Here some pictures.

I am aware of my rust issue. Of course I could rant about the salt usage in the Midwest, but lets save that for another thread .






Other than the fender being replaced, that's I got so far. I found another rallye rim, the driver front is bent, so this one will be painted and such. Finally, I can put the trim rings back on.

Jonboy2312

Yikes, that looks about the same as mine when I first got it. It really needs some TLC...

Anyway, here are some shots of mine, taken today - I've added this and that since the last photos...

RED350

Hey everyone, just found and joined this sight a little while ago. Came across this thread and decided I would make my first post here, since sometimes I feel like the sport coupes are non-existent. Everyone's cars look great! Here are a couple of pix of mine after the fire rebuild.

chattersonm

Here's an addition to the SC post. It's an 88 with 55,000 miles. I bought it in 1995 from friends who had bought it new.

I think you just sold me on getting a cowl hood - maybe you taking another look at mine and you (she) will want lowering springs.

brn agn

iTrader: (1)

I actually installed Eibach Sportline springs on it, and although it helped, it is not as low as I expected it to be. I looked at it tonight and I think it may still be settling. I need to take some more measurements to confirm.

atc3434

iTrader: (4)

Makes sense, it might not be down all the way... yet. Mine spring Tokico lowering springs, here is a straight on side shot. Lowered sport coupes are lost on a lot of people anyways, because they are used to seeing the cars with ground effects, which look pretty low stock. On second glance, I can see the drop on your wifes car, I think there might be some angle on the driveway that was making the front end look high, you can defintely see the drop on the back.

I'm at work, so I can't access your video - why the cowl hood, is there something hiding under there?

brn agn

iTrader: (1)

Hopefully, the cowl hood is a sign of things to come. The car still has the stock, tired 305 in it, but the stock hood was trashed (see picture below) and since I was buying a different hood anyway, I picked one out that I thought my wife would like. The extra room underneath also helps.



Here is a side shot of the car to compare with your car:

atc3434

iTrader: (4)

Its a great look'n car for sure. 17" wheels? Looks like its come a long way from how it started. These pictures have encouraged me to debadge the sides and ditch the door ding gaurds, and probably the under chin splash gaurd. I could definetly justify a cowl, my current setup just barely fits with a crappy 1.5" aircleaner, and it should have a 3".

My 88 SC with a grille I got out of the junkyard and autozone lights

brn agn

iTrader: (1)

Yes, it has 17"x8" wheels. After seeing the side view picture of your car, I remembered something. When I was in the planning stages of building my wife's car, I searched www.thirdgen.org for pictures of Sport Coupes and I saved a picture of your car as reference material because I like the stance your car has and I also like the brushed aluminum wheels. Are they 17's also?

atc3434

iTrader: (4)

Wow, thats awesome. The car has been in my hands for about 2 years now, the prior own did all the the lowering and wheels - I've spent all my time an pennies changing everything he worked so hard to keep factory original under the hood. The wheels are 16x8 ROH ZR6 wheels - the ones GM cloned an ran the 94-96 Impala SS. They have a nice deep dish, but I do wish they were 17s. Thats too cool that you used this car as a reference for your build, and now unbenounced to me about the prior connected we're here comparing rides. Very cool.

Camaroguy18

Sport Coupe, Z28, Iroc....it didn't matter to me, I just wanted a V-8 manual with t-tops

...besides, they didn't have 350's in '86 anyways

Here's mine

heres my 88 sc

Firm

I know this is resurrecting an old thread...but I guess I'll share mine and see if anyone has any others to share.

My dad was the original owner of this car and he drove it daily from 84-05. In 05 I got it and drove it a year, then I got a newer daily so it went into storage till I finish school....Only another 1.5 years till I finish! It's all original(including paint) 2.8 v6, auto....alot of weird options though, like the overhead console.

The red Berlinetta in one of the pics was a car I picked up from it's original owner a few years ago...it only had 28,000km's on it....Sold it to some guy who junked it in a couple years






Last summer I took it out o storage or a couple days to keep it running....these are pics rom then....kept the winter rims on it.

brn agn

iTrader: (1)

Nice looking SC! What is the story with the steering wheel? I don't think I have ever seen another steering wheel like that.

Firm

Thanks man.

The steering wheel was put on by my dad just after he bought it in 84....It's a 'personal' brand wheel....really nice leather wrapped rim. The center peice can be removed for more of a racing style look also....I love it too, but I've also never seen another like it.

Louis_84

lol the pic of the front of ur camaro next to the gmc looks alot like mine lol

Firm

Yeah...our cars look very similar....The Sonoma is my daily. It has the same rims you have on your Camaro....But I polished them.

heres mine

I recently bought a 1987 camaro. It was sitting in this ladies gargae in the back of her house and apparently it came with the house since the original owner didnt want it and said it didnt run and she could have it, i noticed there wasnt any fuel getting to the carb. so only a few things i figured could be wrong, i asked how much she wanted for it she said $1000, i showed her my wallet and with the exception of 20 dollars for gas ill give you everything, sturck a deal and it was $600, aren't grey haired old women just peachy? i felt a little guilty, but what the hell, it has scratches pain chips, bald *** tires ready to blow, rugged scratched up tint, dirty *** seats that i cant get clean (help/adivce on that?) also i have no idea what it is..its not an itroc or z/28, i hear from friends its a sport coupe, but on almost every attatchment fenders, bumpers, ect they all have machine impreinted, "Camaro Sport Coupe Berlinetta" so does that mean its a berlinetta or did they stop calling them berlinetta's and DUB them sport coupe? (will upload pictures when acheive the glorious compounds for a digital camera called batteries)

i just bought mine about a month ago, old lady had it sitting for a good minute, if anyone has the time theres a few questions that i havent been able to answer
