My new baby
Well guys, like I said earlier in my car hunt thread, I now have pictures of the new beast! Here they are!
Me in the Camaro
Me and my friend with the Camaro (hes hanging out the driver side window)
My 84 Camaro and my friends 91 Mustang LX in the background
Thats my new baby! Hope this is the right forum for this. Hopefully I will name her soon. But that will be after I drive her more and get a feel for her.
Comments are welcome!

Well guys my baby is in the shop today and tomarrow getting her carb overhauled. She was running great until she didnt start the other morning. So now our mechanic is fixing her up! Other than that she runs extremely strong for such an old car. More updates when I get them!

Well I got her back today and she is in excellent condition. Had all the belts (engine) replaced, the carb overhauled and a sensor fixed. The sensor was telling me that the engine temp was hitting 260 degress in idleing traffic! Well when that happens it also wouldnt kick over the electric fan, so I could of had some overheating issues as well. But thats all fixed now. All in all its about a $750.00 tab including tow and labor and parts.
Why thank you for the compliments! Yeah I plan on doing some modifications, but I just blew all that money on the maintenance. So thats life.

does that mean it is an L69? Automatic or stick? There was one that looked just like that here at a local dealer, it got sold and I see the kid driving it around all the time, its gotten really beaten and raggedy, he drives it through the winter and everything, what a shame.....take good care of that one it is really clean!

You got lucky with that thing. Like everyone else said, it looks great for its age. Especially compared to a lot of other third gens out there. Enjoy it, and drive safely (we see too many "A Tree Hit My Car" posts on the boards). Speaking of the boards, make yourself at home here, it's helped me a lot with my RS.

Glad to see another Phoenix thirdgenner. The car looks really good.
When you get a chance throw up some pictures of the engine. It's probably the L69 with the dual snorkel intake.
Where abouts in PHX do you live? Where did you get the car?

84 z's are the shiznit!...i had one that was sold to some guy in georgia and now i have mine i am putting work into

with the 305/700r4 it goes 14.4@97mph so far...it needs a stall convertor and better tires!
know anything more on your car?...if you check in the history/restoration area on this forum you can find an email address to chevy historical services and they will send you info all about the car...i know where dealer mine was sent to and how much it cost...13,708 is alot of cash in 1984

Nice car. I think you will like it. Here's my friends 84'. Should look familiar. That's my Firebird in the foreground. I almost like driving the 84 better.

to be honest, i'm not sure what kind of wheels those are. they were on the car when i bought it. some people have told me they are an older american racing model and some people tell me they are not. its a good thing i like them too cause i didnt want to have to shell out money for rims! the only gripe is that they are polished aluminum so i gotta keep up on keeping them shiny.

Very clean Camaro man you dont see to many like it anymore. I just bought my first 3rd gen at the beginning of last summer and I absolutly love it in the pics it looks really bad cuz I'm using a camera phone and i have both sets of matching rims so dont bother me about it lol, and right now it has new 5 spokes on it. This pic was before I did anything to it, doesnt even look the same anymore but I cant get any new pics because its in winter storage right now, I second the request for the email address as I know nothing about my car so please share with us
