Back after 3 years of Non-Gen 3 Ownership
Hi, Everyone!
In 2017 life got away from me with work, a 4 year old son, a long commute, etc. And I sold my 91 RS. I'm sure many of you have been here and had to make a difficult decision to sell a beloved car.
My original car had a tick over 160k, a decent gray cloth interior, a 7 year old respray, some nice upgrades to the suspension and steering and a great exhaust. But that car was getting tired and some previous minor rust repairs from when the respray was done were starting to creep back through. An engine overhaul would be in the works as well as the mileage was getting up there. A respectable survivor but the work it needed was more than we could commit to.
3 years later I am in a.much better position to care for a third gen beauty and needless to say my husband found this example fitted with the exact same options with 49k miles and zero rust! It is about as original as it gets with 100% factory paint, exhaust, amazing wheels, cloth, etc.
Tasteful upgrades include a nice exhaust system, improved stereo, and some much needed detailing. I can't wait to get this baby back to her glory and go cruising next spring!

Nice Camaro! Sounds like I don't live to far from you. My Camaro is a heap, but I'm working on it.
