Hey orr. I was just reading my issue of Camaro Performers today, and they keep mentioning that they have no good third gens to publish, even if they wanted to. Personally i think you should send em some pics of your bad-boy and let em drool a bit. Show em that even us rust-belt owners can do it right!

its not lack of third gens but more overdone 67, 68, and 69's that get all the articles. i used to like the old 60's camaros but feel they are more hype then nice.... are there no 70 through 81 camaros either?

Orr89RocZ · 08-02-2008, 06:06 PM

not making the car show tonight, its 6 now and i took a nap from 3-5

My buddy came home from the navy and i took him for a ride in the beast

now may go out tonight but not gonna make the show

And my car isnt quite magazine show quality yet

needs a paint job and cleaned up abit more than what it is

LMSkyliner · 08-02-2008, 10:19 PM

I'll probably be going to a show tomorrow. I heard from my dad there is at least 1 going on around here. I'll probably hitch a ride in the mustang or his buddies 69'. You going out tomorrow orr?

He said there were very few miles on the engine in it's rebuilt state. To me it sounded like less than 1,000 miles. maybe as few as 100. It also had a cam put in, though my friend was going to put another one it (idk why). I think he said it has a hurricane (?) intake manifold and he said it's a holley carb. He's looking for $1000 but i think he'll take an offer. Ill get pics soon

$1k is a bit to high for me, but def get me pics still.

I was told if that was a bit high then i could be alittle flexible

. He just wants to get 1k for it cause that's what he paid for it, and 4-bolt main professionally built 355's arn't exactly laying around the junkyards yanno?

I'll get pics if my dad gets the mustang outta the way tomorrow

I'll havta ask him. But i know theres a website somewhere around here that lists all the major cruises in Pittsburgh. I just forgot what it is.

I know when he called his buddy with the 69' (built 396 with about the best exhaust note i've ever heard, and paint so nice i physically can't find orange peel.) that he said he'd be back in the neighborhood around 9:30 if he wanted to go, so i'm guessing it's an afternoon cruise?

edit: and yea, i gotcha on that deep pockets thing. I'm still trying to convince my dad it's in our best interests to get Dyno Don to get my name on a set of them headers of his instead of waiting till i need them (and inevitably finding out Don's sold out lol)

LMSkyliner · 08-02-2008, 11:09 PM

Judging by this site:
http://www.carcruises.com/cruise_lis...e=Pennsylvania

I'd say he was talking about either the Irwin/North Huntington car cruise, or, more likely, the cruise in Beaver. i mean cmon, 1,000 dash plaques? That beaver cruise should be rocking, and i know i remember going to a "Hot summer night" car cruise last year.

Lol. my dad knew it wouldn't pass. He just tried anyways. He said these engines can sometimes squeak by without a cat, but mine was jsut too worn out to pull it off, so i got a new Magnaflow 3 ID/OD cat and i'm pairing it to a new 3" Hooker Cat-back. hense me trying to get him to let me get my name on Don's list. I want those sexy 1 3/4 headers and 2.5 pipes.

Lol. My cars an 89 so i still havta pass i think. Maybe classic plates are available for it though, i can't remember. I wouldn't register it as a classic though because i'm going to be driving it too much. Plus, my dad already challenged me to a race around Beaver Run and the drag strip. 82 GT with dynomax catback vs 89 Iroc with Frankenstein exhaust. Who will win!!!

but seriously, have you seen Don's stuff? It's amazing. Go check out the exhaust board or his profile.

but i'm off for tonight. ill get that cruise info tomorrow morning.

Orr89RocZ · 08-03-2008, 12:31 AM

keep it under 5K a year you dont need emissions. I passed
