I'm in search of a 1991 RS, white over black. Here is a shot of it and a description:





Why am I looking for this car?

My dad purchased it in 1995 to autocross. I was in 5th grade at the time, and every day he worked on it I would watch and help where I could. I also photographed his autocross events and tagged along. Between 1995 and 2005, the car followed us from MN to CT, TN, MA, and NC. It was basically another family member. I always dreamed about driving it. The 3rd Gen Camaro and the C4 Corvette ZR-1 were my first "dream cars."

In September of 2005, I bought a C6 Corvette. This gave my dad the vette-fever, and soon he traded in the Camaro for a 2002 C5 Z06. I didn't have the money at the time to buy the Camaro from him. I finally do, but the car is gone.

It was traded in at Morrison Motor Co in NC around March of 06. They then sold it to someone else in April of 06, who then sold it at an auction at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Details:
91 Camaro RS
White over Black
5 speed
20xxx miles at trade-in, probably 25k by now

Mods:
ARE wheels, suspension, headers, Hurst shifter, subframe connectors, bushings, chip, exhaust, sway bars, and a few others

If you know anything about this car or where it is, please let me know! My other course of action, if I can't find it, is to get one similar to it.

Thanks for your help!

 

I've swear I've seen pictures of this car on here before, but don't remember who posted them.... good luck and keep at it.

 

If you can find something with the vin number on it, you can find out who the new owners are. The DMV can run it or if you know someone.

 

I posted the pictures about a year ago just to show off! Pity it's no longer in the family

My dad's trying to come up with a VIN for me. The trouble is, it wasn't registered between 1995 and 2006 because it was used strictly for autocross!

 

this isnt really relevant, but the C4 happens to be my dream car also! good luck with the search though

 

Yeah I know "stevo"s looks like that one...that's probley where you seen the picture. They almost look the same. lol Just different wheels and wing.

 

I hope you find it that would be awesome, but trying to get the person to sell it now thats the hard part

 

Well, I'm still looking for it, damn this is hard

 

A HUGE bump but still searching, any clues would be appreciated...

 

what size are those rims they look pretty sick I bet their lite as hell too

 

They were 16x8.5 ARE rims, nothing too fancy but light and could wear some sticky 255 rubber at all four corners. Car handled like it was on rails, really miss it. It's the car my dad and I worked on...

 

The thought I had is that if you can come up with a VIN, but the DMV isn't cooperative, you can always get a carfax for that car - that should give you a decent shot at finding where it is...

Best of luck man, I know how that is...

 

best of luck to you. its definantly not stevos car. his is an auto (now t56) 92 with red heritage stripes. not even close.

 

I hear ya, thanks for the advice.

 

Definitely try running the vin through Carfax. It should narrow your search down alot. Then again, be prepared for what it may look like if you do find it.
Sometimes memories are better than what you see once you've finally found an old car. Don't ask how I know!

 

man, i hope you find that car. looks nice as hell. im in the same boat, except it involves a grand national, and it being stolen from my parents.

 

Tell the DMV you found the car out in a field, and want to get an abandoned title for it.
Give them the VIN, and they should be able to link you to who it's registered to, so that you can try to contact them to purchase the car.

 

yea i was gona say, Morrison Motor had that car in Hemmings for awhile before it sold. They wanted way too much money for it. Sorry I dont know where its at now though...

 

Yeah, I let my dad loose in my 'vette and a few weeks later he trades this car we've worked on together in at Morrison's for a 2002 Z06... can't argue against the coolness of his new ride but the sentimental value and the fact that I just love third gens made it hard...

They sold it to a guy who sold it to a guy who eventually sold it at a Lowe's Motor Speedway auction... rumored to be a collector who bought it but nothing confirmed.

Oh well... guess I'll have to find an identical or build one...

 

Blast from the past... I've picked up a near look-alike with fewer miles but with the B4C package, meaning more performance.

But if this car is out there and anybody has seen it... I'd like to know!

 

Keep searching, i know the feeling, my first truck... a 1990 mazda b2200 extended cab... was the best thing ive ever owned and for some reason i sold it instead of fixing it, ive tried tracking it down but it keeps getting sold to different kids in the area and im kinda scared it got scrapped.

 

Not the car, but if your dad is interested in doing another build, here's a lower mileage, white '89 RS local to me (I realize it's an auto though) that's been for sale for at least a few months:

If you owned it before, you should have the vin# some where, just car fax it and you'll find it

 

Id see if you could find a VIN from everyone who has had their hands on it since. Im sure one of them have to have it. Best of luck to you ever finding it!

 

If it was ever insured, call your agent. They may still have the VIN.

 

Well, it was for me, not him... haha. I've since found a V8 hardtop 91-92... If I found it though and it was still in good condition, I'd try to get it. And then put an LSx in it...

Can't find the VIN, will try calling insurer sometime.

 

Found it... I think...

Hell yea! Looks like the same car to me? Any contact with the member yet?

 

Now the hard part... getting him to let it go. Good luck man!

 

That was a sweet car for sure and it would be cool to get it back.

 

Haha, don't think I have the ability to get it back... I filled my empty garage bay with a near copy, save for the B4C package that gives my 91 RS the Z28 drivetrain...

My current ride:


At the very least, I'd like to share some information with the car (history, old pics) with the current owner. We'll see what happens...
