Yup that's his car, and ISR_NITRO you're off to a great start, newbie Why don't you take 1/2 a second to think of what you're posting before replying with such a childish stance.

Anyway....

86FyrBrd, nice ride once again . Are you coming down to the Wildwood show next week? I'm still dying to see the car in person. :hail:

haha I really cracked a smile when I read that post, yeah Generation-3.com is mine, just like if you go to http://www.generation-3.com/webmaster, its all about MY car actually only took me about 6 months to do, but it also took about 20 grand. the stealth ram intake is on the way, ordered it today.

I have to get it appraised that way if in the unfortunate even that I do total it, I will get more out of it.

nah dont let the insurance guy do it, more leverage to jack your rates, look in the phone book for auto appraisers and take it to one of them.

had to look out the window to see if it was still there

Wow your car owns!!! I totally dig that 4th gen hood I want to get one for my bird. My car is going to turn out like yours except I want it midnight blue with some other little differences. Man you got the image of what I want my car to look like right out of my head. I wanted my car to look that before I had even seen your car and now that I have it has cemented the deal. Good job on the car

Good luck Trans87, just dont copy me too bad, stay original somewhat, ya know, that way we both have unique cars.

MyFirstCamaro, dont worry about it its cool, Maybe it would have been less confusing if I had the same name on other sites, even my own. Are you a member on my site, generation-3.com?

According to my insurance lady, most body shops (thats what she recommended I take it to) will charge between $50 to $150 for an appraisal. In the long run though it would definately be worth it if you got $$$ in your ride

Jawz, there are a few places in town that do appraisals. One is Ellingson Car Museum and the other is Yesterdays Auto in Minneapolis. Stay away from Ellingson. They gave me an attitude about my car not being worth the appraisal paper it was written on. The guy wouldn't even explain the process to our club when we had a meeting up there to tour the place. If the car isn't something they have any interest in, it isn't worth much. Yesterday Auto on the other hand will do a good job and they know their stuff. tell them the Northstar Camaro Club sent you. People love referrals and are willing to help more when they think someone is giving them business.

By the way, I found this car at a local car show and took pictures of it. I tell everybody it's mine!!! I even built a website about it! Check it out...
