This thread is a Nomination Thread to nominate cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The 10 or less most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *Voting Thread* in a couple of weeks. If you do not nominate a member's car for COTM, you can still second or third (fourth, fifth, so on) someone else's nomination. cars must have at least a second nomination in order to make the Voting Thread.

Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO Member.

Do not ask your wife, husband, friends, extended family, etc. to register as TGO Members for the purpose of nominating your car. If you are nominated, do not ask people to register as TGO Members for the purpose of voting for your car.

Do not nominate more than one car.

This is not a picture thread. Post only ONE good photo of the car you wish to nominate. Do not use photo-shopped pictures.

you must post a picture with your nomination.

Do not nominate cars that are not in a high quality, finished state.

And if you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your ride (multiple angles, interior, engine) and make them publicly accessible (for example via a photo album in your public profile or some sort of hyperlink to your photo album.)

*****This Month's Criteria*****

after careful consideration, its Open Season again.

Any high quality, finished, stock or modified Camaro or Firebird can be nominated.

this time, there I've provided some suggesting reading/source material that I believe has some very nice, worthy cars. of course there are other sources to find COTM Nominations, but you may find some worthy competitors by perusing the following threads:

I would like to nominate Beaner_88's beautiful 87 SC.

SpeedDemon91

I nominate maroon88iroc

TkernIROC1986

iTrader: (1)

Even though he was in last months COTM, I'm nominating 86'sportcoupe again. Zachs car truly deserves it, it's by far one of the cleanest sport coupes I've ever seen! Go get em Zach!

DynoDave43

iTrader: (11)

I'll second that.

maks10

I nominate joe tag's camaro....saw this car in person recently and it's immaculate!!! Also, this car was originally at a junk yard before he saved it's life. Amazing work to where it's at now.

TkernIROC1986

iTrader: (1)

I'll second that for a fellow blue IROC owner!

Joe Tag

iTrader: (4)

86 Z28, not an IROC. Though I'm flattered, in all fairness, I don't know if you can nominate someone and second another.

TkernIROC1986

iTrader: (1)

Threw me off there with the 88-90 IROC wheels. If they don't want to count my second, no biggie! Looks like you've done a lot of hard work. The Z28 looks amazing, and is well deserving to go up to the voting process for COTM.

The Project

iTrader: (6)

Second maroon88iroc.

hd071502

I nominate 25thannivZ28. This car is well built and still maintains a conservative look. It's a beast to hear in person.

Stauf

iTrader: (2)

I will 2nd ( or 3rd?) Joe Tag

25thannivZ28

Thanks for the nomination, this car has come a long way with various mods and different budgets.

It ran:
14.8 w/heads and cam, no tune.
14.2 with mini ram, same heads/cam with chip.
13.2 with tune on dyno, same mods *goes to show that mail order chips are useless
12.9 with no tune after 406 implant
11.9 with new 4" exhaust plus tune.

All done with 700R4 & 4.10 gears. I dont recall mph of earlier runs but the last two were 106 & 117.
Thanks again

I'll 3rd that for 86'sportcoupe !

khulsebus

iTrader: (2)

I nominate jbenge. It's a super clean car that I saw in person this summer at Third Gen Fest.

dmccain

iTrader: (2)

I nominate IMissMy86TA. What a gorgeous car!

Linson

you have to find a good picture and post it with your nomination.

Linson

FYI, JoeTag is right. you only get one vote in the nomination process. however, someone else did second JoeTag, so the situation is under control.

Lmancha96

I nominate bluezee28's, AMAZING 91 Z28 VERT..... PLEASE DONT SELLLLL IT!

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

I nominate ta88gta. Over 1000hp rediculous customization

Linson

CharcoalBird,

I sent a direct message to TA88GTA asking him to make more photos available. I saw other photos (and the car is worthy to compete) but was not able to copy and paste them to TGO. once more photos [of the car cleaned up] become available I will edit your nomination. there is nothing wrong with an in-action photo or two where the car is dusty, but as a stand alone, it is not an acceptable representation of the car.

I understand your position (I think) that its a badass car and you couldn't find a better postable photo. I ran into the same problem. hopefully, TA88GTA will come thru with some of those cleaned up pics.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

I understand where you are coming from. Hopefully he is able to post some better pictures.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

lol that's kind of a rude thing to say about everyone else that's been nominated. Not to take away from his T/A at all, it surely is awesome. Just think you could find a more tactful way of stating the above.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Thanks. I appreciate it. I just recently decided to take it off the market, wasn't generating hardly any interest...figures...it's one of those cars that not everyone is really looking for being a highly modified convertible third gen.

Since I was nominated I guess I should put a short list here. It's got a healthy 6.0/T56 swap, 8.8 rear, all suspension and chassis upgrades, custom stitched two tone 4th gen camaro seats, retro fit HID, etc etc. Not really anything left stock except the body panels (actually not even that with the spoiler mod), and the interior except for the seats.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

You're right. What I should have said is I think the car is more radical of a build than some of the others. All the cars are very nice though. Good luck to all those who have been nominated. Post edited.

BlueZee, you will kick yourself in the future if you do end up selling it.

TkernIROC1986

iTrader: (1)

No problem bud! Good luck!

maks10

86TA355SR

iTrader: (1)

IMissMy86TA

Thanks! Beautiful car? yes! Great guy? im ok....

IMissMy86TA

I would like to nominate roamaver because I really like his exhaust tips.. just like mine.. I think they look best on a 3rd gen

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

That's some really good photo editing, love the coloring. What camera and software are you using?

IMissMy86TA

I have a Moto X (android). has a very good camera since the 4.4.4 update
it auto enhances. by the way... off topic.. best phone I ever had.. I have had iphones.. eh.. not as advanced in so many ways.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

mantaguy

iTrader: (5)

I have to stick with the Pontiac's!!,especially the Well Preserved Ones.

3rd.Good Luck

Linson

For everyone's situational awareness and future reference, i have had to change a couple of Nomination pics due to the fact that Photo-shop or other photo editing was used.

aside from that though, lots of good input this month. i hope to get a few more Nominees.

83Z28/L69

Sorry, I didn't know it was shopped, I just grabbed it of his thread.

MY87LT

iTrader: (2)

I second the motion because i'm kindda biased towards 1987 Camaro sport coupes.

Manic Z

iTrader: (1)

I'll third maroon88iroc.

plum92_camaro

I second the nomination for 25thannivZ28. Love that purple haze!!!

82tarecaro

iTrader: (4)

Did not notice anyone else do it, so I second the nomination for jbenge. I love the Ls1 swaps, especially when they go the extra mile to do a complete swap with AC that appears to have been installed on the assembly line.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

One of the reasons I am in the middle of putting ac back on my car

25thannivZ28

Thanks, that's the original paint. Hood painted to match

khulsebus

iTrader: (2)

That car is beautiful, it looks like it came from GM that way. I looked all over that car, and couldn't find anywhere that he cut corners.

Bluezee28 builds a pretty good car too.

IMissMy86TA

Thanks Manta
