It's not 3rdgen but I thought this is pretty sharp. I really like the color of orange (since you're talking colors) it was besides the great craftsmanship.

I've got a poster of that 68 camaro at home.

I really like that car. The reason that I like it is because it's simplicity has been taken to another level. Instead of a bunch of tacky bolt-ons, the car's lines are cleaned up and simplified, and what a statement it makes!

The next time around with my IROC, I'm probably going to go to a plain RS hood, remove the rear spoiler, fill all of the badge locations on the ground effects and bumper, and shave the handles. I want the car as plain and clean as possible.

my friend Mark's 84 Z28. I think he's achieved the look pretty well.



some others... not totally clean but close.







I was almost there with mine... couldnt remove the side molding b.c my paint guy cleared over them Was gonna get 85-90 TA Taillights and black out the center plate to finish off the look, and remove the nose bird eventually. Maybe the new owner will do that.

I got the pic of the white camaro with teal striping off of the Goodmark site. It's their example of their steel cowl hood for these cars. Yes. I also posted pics of the Mean Yellow Z which I think is tied with CarNDriver's for the coolest looking 3rd gen I've seen.
