New to the Third Gen Scene!
Hello all!
I never thought i would own a camaro untill i found one for trade for a pickup. I happened to have a beat up 91 GMC pickup that the camaro owner found perfect! This car is amazing. 1986 Iroc-Z former show, and competition sound car. Sat in a showroom from the time it was new untill 2009 gaining a mere 44000 miles. It now has only 63000 origional miles(I have proof). Candy Apple red(has been since the 80's) along with chromed out engine. This car does have its problems, but i am set out to solve that and make it a show car once again! Main problem is the transmission, it needs a new one and a few others i may be addressing elsewhere on the board. Anyways, just wanted to stop by and say hi to all my fellow northern california members!

Welcome...fresh meat! haha, just kidding, sounds like a nice ride. Do you have any pics?
Its unfortunate people give up on Thirdgens, but its cool when someone falls in love with one.
