Never knew about these cars and they are very good looking early third gens.

I'll admit I usually don't care too much for the birds, but that one is nice! Looks like it's been taken well care of.

Re: Back on the road and lookin good!

Thanks everyone! What's next...suspension. Lots of suspension. Adj. panhard bar and lca's, subframe connectors, KYB AGX struts/shocks, Hotchkis springs, and Energy Suspension HyperFlex kit. Should handle pretty damn good after that. I'll be buying all of this over winter while the car is in storage.

Re: Back on the road and lookin good!

You, sir, have one very nice TA on your hands there. I am quite partial to the early 3rd gen cars, especially the special models across the Camaro/Firebird line. Keep it up. Rudy.

Thats never a bad idea. And you need some big brakes to put behind those sexy wheels! LS1 swaps are cheap these days.

Re: Back on the road and lookin good!

a true original, that car would be worth some money one day, it already worth a lot in my book.

Re: Back on the road and lookin good!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I try not to overdo things to make stuff look out of place. I was a bit skeptical on how the wheels would look on the car, but I'm very impressed with how they compliment the car so well.
