Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Agree with you Chaz. It's one thing to be sitting in a barn outta sight. But this owner probably sees this car EVERYDAY!. Sure it's his first car...but damn, give a bath and show some love for it for krypes sake!
OK, Rant over...Back to topic!

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
haha yes but I'd never leave the car with the window down ,but then again I dont live in the desert.The whole Nevada looks amazing thou.
anyway ontopic and since its easier to use google than take pics https://www.google.ro/maps/@44.17549...0140801T000000
thats in my city where I live now ,the cars are still there and if you pan around theres a 89 Camaro 2.8 V6 with a sun roof registered in New York (dont ask me how he uses it with US plates) ,88 Trans Am (which is for sale ,but has some weird options like air bag steering wheel from 92 ,hes asking 10,000€ for it which is pretty cheap) ...no idea whats the pink one ,but the damn street is a american car lover wet dream
https://www.google.ro/maps/@44.18311...0140801T000000 (same city ,car is still there because the owner lives in the area )
it has Trans Am rims but I'm pretty sure its a 3.1 v6.It has the stock paint and I dont think hes using the car in the winter.
I'll make time to get few real life pics with the cars these days and post them here.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I wish I had a barn like yours Chris. Also whats inside, Ha Ha.
Haven't had to wash my car for a month. Mother nature has provided my car with a wash every day this month except 4 here in KC. Not as much as Texas and OK, but I've parked my car for most of it. My truck go's through flood waters much better.
I will be in Gulf Shores in two weeks. I hope its hot and dry when I get there, I'm getting tired of my rain tan.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I just saw this 85 IROC parked in a development I'm working in. It has the cool "Camaro, Camaro, Camaro" interior too! Looked to be all original, the paint was a little faded, but in great shape!

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Hahahaha!!!! On my way back through, he was out working on it, so I stopped to talk to him for a bit. I told him I posted the pics here too.
It's always nice to talk to a fellow third gen owner. Thanks for chatting today. It's not everyday I get to see one out, and then get to talk to the owner. I can't wait to see that thing roll with that new rear in it.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I am about to go on my summer vacation. I am traveling to Gulf Shores, AL from KC. I have loaded my camera with fresh batteries and am going to try an experiment. I am going to document (and hopefully get pictures of) all the 3rd gens I run into.
I will be on the road for at least 25 hours of the trip. There are 4 of us driving so I will have my hands free most of the time. Last years trip I only saw 3 total.
So if you "WANT" your car on this thread, park along the hwy's of S. Missouri, Arkansas, Memphis, N. Mississippi, and Alabama. I will snap it if I see it! Ha Ha

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
You need to take one of the toys to work with you Bob & line up next to him.
The day I dropped off the 1LE for it's detailing & picked up the L69 there was a 5.0 86 Mustang pulling out of the car wash as I was pulling in. We met driver's side to driver's side in the driveway & I looked over at him & said "Let's go!" to which he quickly responded "I'm ready!"
He pulled around as I parked & we talked for 15 minutes - his car only had 5X,000 miles on it and looked new as well. Back in the day, that would have been a good race, but I'd have won!

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
The outside of this car does appear to be in good shape; however if you look inside at the top of the rear seats they appear to be completely ripped apart. Probably from the sun would be my guess.
Looks like a great daily driver!

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
This car has been sitting 5 blocks from me for 3 years. I have seen it move once, and that was only to get plates. 91-92 RS, unfortunately thats all I know. Probably going to go talk to owner this summer and see what the deal is, and if he is interested in selling.
