Welp, some of you know me on hear and others don't. I typically lurk alot but I hang out at that other 3go board

Anywho, a while back I was approached about putting my car in a book that has been written on the Rochester Quadrajet, more specifically modified ones. Because I still use my Quadrajet and all of the emmisions (minus the EGR valve) and because it has been modified it fit the bill perfectly. I still need to be chosen for the book but my chances are pretty good. They are going to use 4-5 different cars and I'm in the top 7 to be chosen from.

The fella that came to take these pics is actaully a frellance photographer for High Performance Pontiac! Which I thought was pretty KEWL! The pics took about 45 minutes and turned out spectacular! I'm very appreciative that he took them even if it doesn't make the cut.

I'm actually pretty stoked about them because I catch ALOT of **** for building a Berlinetta. I built the thing to be different while still being able to have my Camaro. I also built it with everything it came with such as Emmisions, Computer, A/C ect. I get sooooooo tired of seing hacked up 3rdgens it makes me sick!

Welp, all the haters can take a hike now!

I had to shrink these down considerably as the origionals were 4MB EA!!! so here they are!

All comments are welcome good or bad!

sweet camaro. I say if you want to modify it, even if its 1 of 1, do it. I myself like to keep things looking stock, but love the look of a modified

Berlinetta's seem to have that "classic" appeal that other 3rd gens don't seem to have, or at least not yet. (imo)
Looks way clean from here. Thanks for keeping the emmisions gear too.

That's the nicest berlinetta i've ever seen!!I normally dont like thirdgens without ground effects but that thing kicks *** and screams american muscle. Awesome car i woudn't change a thing.

 

i like it and im with you, i hate seeing hacked up third gens, brings a tear to my eye(unless of course its a project car)

 

thats a nice berly!
its awesome to see someone else from lincoln on here....talk about hacked up thirdgens, you definately see those around here. do you ever go to any local gatherings? (such as Culver's on friday nights) i would love to see your car
by the way, i love the cowl

 

i really love how the back looks with the single pipe

what do u guys mean by hacked up? rusty? ugly mods?

 

yes to both. lots of rust, mismatched body panels, those hideous chrome fender lip things, huge dents, wheels that stick out 6" past the car, etc. etc.

 

I see those too. I've seen very few nice thirdgens but mostly crap

 

I used to go to them quite abit but I have a rather busy career now and its very hard to attend them. I am however going to Kearney cruise nights this weekend for the car show and for the drag races so we'll see how she does.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

WOW! thanks for looking those up! dang those are old! still has my old exhaust and crappy water bottles on it!

Thanks!!!

 

I'm talking about the cars that have the computer ripped out, the A/C ripped out with the hoses still hanging, wires all sprawled out everywhere, holes cut in the hood so the air cleaner fits, parts missing, grease & oil everywhere, 4 different colors on the car, 2 different sets of wheels, cracked taillights, holes in the interior... you get the picture...

 

wow, simply gorgious! really lovin it! gotta 1990 that i've ripped the gfx off of and have started the transformation into an 87 sport coupe. i can't stand the gfx cars once i've seen a few without them that look good.

yours, jbenge, and there is a green berlinetta with vette wheels floatin' around too that look incredible. i hope that oneday my 1990 rs/sc will make it into that crowd. i know my 87 is recognizable, and everything that is there works and the ac/computer stuff was ripped out, but it was done tastefully (ie, all extra wires removed, ac delete box fitted, etc.). but it's not quite of the same caliber, which is why i am building the 1990. no rust whatsoever to speak of on the car and the body is straight. the drivetrain is getting swapped next month, then it's off to paint. THEN, maybe i'll be with you guys.

i also have an 84 berly that a buddy of mine and i are restoring to it's former glory. it's his first thirdgen and we're excited about it!

 

Thanks mang! I didn't realize that there are so many guys that don't care for the GFX cars out there! I like the GFX cars but just couldn't bring myself to putting them on. SC's stand out a little better then the others do.

Thanks for the complliments!

 

here is a few i found that i believe look really incredible:
this is John in RI's

another of his:

jbenge's:

some inprogress pics of my junk:

the 1990 rs/sc in progress

 

I love the colour, stripes, and black accent on the bottom... and the single pipe looks great.

Great job keeping it real!

 

Beautiful Berlinettas, guys!
Thanks,

Mark.

 

Those are some nice Berly's

jbenge's car looks like what my car would've looked like had I gone with plan B. He even has the same hood as me... copycat?? Just kidding...

They all look good!

Keep going on that resto of the Red berly!

 

actually, the red is an 87 sportcoupe LT, but it's getting trashed cause of the amount of rust on it (and the availability of finding another one in good shape in the area for cheap). the 1990 will recieve the front/rear bumper covers and the front fenders from the red car and will recieve all white paint the same week the final stage of transformation takes place. this car will probably only see the street one time before it gets painted. (the trip to the painter)

when decent bodies are available for cheap, it's easy to give up on one with lots of rust. of course the white car originally had gfx, so filling in the wholes from those is definitely a learning experience.

 

That car is sweet I'm lovin the 4" mufflex sewer pipe.

Very clean

 

let's hear it for old school! That thing looks fantastic. I have a special place in my heart for the early camaros and birds. My bro used to own an 84 camaro V6 that we swapped in an L98 into.

I hope you get in that book. My car is also in a firebird book!! (for the iron duke).

later,

here is my bro's 84 S/C with IROCZ drivetrain:

 

the motor in his car:

 

I love that Camaro! It looks tough but sophisticated. And a bit understated.

As they say, "Brevity is wit." And your car has it

 

So what does it run? That motor is similar to what I will be running when i get my motor done.

 

I'll find out tomorrow night!

 

ADV1, I just have to tell you that your car is definitely one of the nicest non-ground effect cars that I have ever seen. I have had this picture of it on my computer for years now, and I just love the way it looks. I hope my Sport Coupe will be as nice as yours one day, but I've still got a little ways to go . Us non-gfx guys are becoming few and far between, and I like it that way. Dare to be different, right?

If you dont mind, I would love it if you would send me the big versions of the first and second pics to put as my desktop wallpaper...I just love your car! My email addy is mjcroxton@gmail.com

Thanks,

Matt

 

Your car looks great ADV1. Its always nice to see another non-gfx car thats nice.

 

soooo basically your car isnt in a book.. and you dont know yet if it will be... oooook

nice name of the thread... should have called it " My car might be chosen to be in a book, and then again it might not"

 

hehehe, dude, do you ever say ANYTHING nice?

 

yeah.. i do.. hard to believe but i actually compliment a lot of people on this board... when warranted..

 

Look at his screen name..... that should answer any questions!

just giving you a hard time.

 

i think you are the 1st person to ever make the connection... about time some one did.. damn..

 

no, i had before, but i had hope that you weren't quite that miserable.

 

ahahahhahaha that actually made me laugh out loud..

that was funny

 

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you guys...

For those that want pics I will get them to you as soon as I can. I'm out on sales calls all of this week and it'll be hard to get to them until this weekend but I will get them to you!

Thanks for all of the compliments!






btw... Killjoy, I thought of that but for max exposure I purposesly left that "might" out of the title. I did however make sure I mentioned the real story right away. BTW, has your car ever been chosen for such a thing? :raz:

 

Sweet Berly, Im currently trying to find the money to restore mine, however i am going completely stock, By the way, Do you know of anybody who makes our decals? been searching all over the place for them.

 

They don't! I made mine with stripes I bought from a company called Auto Trim...

 

nope.. dont care about that.. my car is not pretty.. paint sucks.. seats are so so.. but it does what i want, and mods in progress..

my car looks "miserable" like me
