Purdiest 3rdGen I've ever seen!

Yeah, just like the title sais, I don't think I've ever seen a 3rdGen look more spectacular than this IMHO. I swear I drooled for about 15 minutes after I clicked on it. Makes me proud that I own a Gun-Metal Grey Camaro! And also solidified my decision on the ASCD SS Hood....

BTW, I have NO idea who the owner is, I found it on AutoTrader!

I will have to disagree with you...this is the "purdiest" 3rd Gen I've ever seen!!

Then again, my standards might be different then yours.

Am I the only one that hates when the wheels aren't tucked under the wheel wells? Other than that, good looking car.

No offense to Boyd rims, but they are just all the same looking. I've seen a couple that look good, but man, Boyd needs to come up with some different styles.

Ever watch american hotrod on the discovery channel? Its filmed in Boyd Coddington's shop. From the looks of it, boyd doesnt do much of anything - he is a tard on the show :P The crazy CNC guy who never closes his mouth when he talks prolly does all the wheel designs

Every Friday. What pisses me off though is the fact that it takes em 4-5 damn shows to finish a car. From a TV standpoint, I think thats too long. Oh well.

As for Boyd - I liked the pilot where he came cruising into the shop on his g@y scooter because he's too rich to walk.

The CNC guy creeps me out. His top lip never touches his bottom one.

How'd I know I'd start a debate? I figured there would be quite a few people that dissagreed with me, but yeah, I seriously love that car! If I had the money I'd so buy it from him and send it down here to AZ. There is one other car that I find on the same level as that one though.... :hail:

Not even close, my friend.....

The gray one is nice (except for the wheel fitment), but it's not even close to being in the same league as Kandied91z. On a scale of 1 to 10, someone has to be the 10...and that would be Kandied91z.

More gooder huh? Yeah, that'd be one of the reasons... and I LOVE the way that color compliments all the lines of that car!

Going back to the original car....
IMO, the wheels stick out too far, and I don't like the hood. But I guess that's what makes each of us different...

DEFINITELY....

...has gotta be Jeffs(AKA: Kandied) car!!! And it's not JUST because he's another one of us Michigan guys, and it's not JUST because his car goes to Autorama, and it's not JUST because his car has a kick *** $5,000 paint job....

Anyways, shouldnt we consider the interior of cars too?!?! Like for example....JEFFS CAR... ...has a pretty nice,ok spotless interior.
