Re: Pensacola, Destin area?

Im over here in Crestview. There are some of us around. I don't know of any f-body or specific 3rd gen clubs but check these sites out. www.gulfcoastmuscle.org and www.injectedvids.com There are a lot of f-body people on those boards. Gulf Coast Muscle actually just had a meet last Frirday at the Sonic in Crestview. Well it was at the Sonic till they called the cops on us and we got kicked out So we went to Hooters instead Had 20+ cars. Here are some pics.

Re: Pensacola, Destin area?

That is a decent turn out. We meet at Sonic here in Tallahassee every 1st Sat. and usually have 40-60+ cars. There are not very many 3rd gens here, but a few F-bodies if you include 2nd & 4th gens. I thought at one time there was a NW Florida Fbody site, but not sure of a club. It might be cool to start one, maybe meeting in PC or somewhere in between.

Re: Pensacola, Destin area?

Who are you in that self-described dirty black Formula in downtown Pensacola today? You on here? Others in the area need to be checking out the monthly Pensacola cars and coffee event every 4th Saturday, 8-10AM on Davis Hwy.

Re: Pensacola, Destin area?

There used to be a club active somewhere back in 2014 called Gulf Coast Thirdgens. I have no idea if they are still actively meeting or not. Been about 6 years since I last had any contact with the club. They had a forum too...

I'm in Pensacola as well. I have two 3rd gens, 88 IROC convertible White with blue stripes and an 89 IROC T-Top Red and Black for now until i decide on what color I want to paint it.
I'm down to join! I'll happily come to meets!

No, club is no longer meeting and forum died out with advent of facebook groups and members moving, other time commitments, etc.
I think I remember that coupe. Glad to know it's still being enjoyed.

Hmm, can't say I've been fortunate enough to see any of your rides in passing around town. Wife (also thirdgen savvy) usually mentions the cars she sees and can't recall mentioning any of those recently.
If your early Saturday morning is free, the Cars n Coffee event is this weekend. 8-10 AM, Davis Hwy at the big strip mall with the indoor trampoline place (new location). I'm going as it's been a while since I brought my Z28 over. Did I meet you and your wife at a previous one before? If not, maybe another time.

I have a strange feeling that I remember your car if I have it right. Blue IROC with the LS swap. Had been recently painted at the time I last remember. I think you were car of the month some years back.

There was also a guy that met with a 1992 B4C RS. I sold him a pair of doors to repair his other car.

Also a Black TA that was daily driven. Body kit was damaged from parking lots.

I wish I could remember the names of the guys.

One of the events I went to was the Destin 5th annual F-body meet. I didn't have a running car at the time. One I have was and still is a total parts bin. It's been freaking me out these past couple of days. If I ever did go to a meet again I'd show up in my W-body. I don't have anything else more interesting in good enough shape that runs.

Re: Pensacola, Destin area?

Did they move C&C to the 3rd week Saturday of the month? I havent been to any cars shows in a long time. I thought it was the 4th Saturday of every month?

Brian, Jeff (I think), and Steven (other quoted member). Seems like ages ago but your memory seems sharp.
I've never been to the Destin gathering. Need to check it out sometime. Perfect distance, drive and location.
You'll have to elaborate on that "freaking me out" part sometime.
Our cars are cool to have present but for me, it's the people who have a history with our gen, the memories to share that I enjoy most. Drive up in a Yugo for all I care.

Still 4th week. Glad you could make it and catch up with you some. Went to the "Whitebook" to refresh my memory. Clocks did end in my year with a paltry 809 installed. '82 the big year with 14grand, followed by two years of roughly 2k each year. For nostalgia sake I will put in that AM radio it came with that triggered the clock.....someday

Cant beat the stock radio look, even though the Radio in mine is AM/FM cd factory i had a aux cable built in to it so i could listen to tunes from the phone, thats becoming a popular trend with our factory radios.

Those aux ports feed off the cassette or the CD wiring to my understanding. Im sure there is a way around that, but it wont be my awful electrical wiring knowledge. I think a separate Bluetooth transmitter might be the ticket for me with AM only headunit.Ill eventually post in Car Audio forum and see what the population says

Gulf Shores is a sweet beach town and is no longer a secret. I live in Baldwin County just far enough away to avoid the crowds but close enough to go for crab catching/shell findings with young son before sun sets.
Hit me up if the wife gets her way.and you get one of the local bumper stickers.

It all depends how you wire it. Mine is wired though the radio when you plug it up.
