September 2016 COTM **WINNER**
Back To The Future.
Congratulations, GASPEDDLER! Your car has been chosen by the TGO community as our COTM.
Your perfect IROC reminds me of how ahead of their time Third Gens were in design. Three decades later, they still seem ahead of their time, in this age where designers merely try to mimic the designs of the 1960s.
Your car would make a fine addition to any garage, any collection, and is a fine addition to the list of COTM Winners. We are proud to have you represent us.
This is my 15,000 mile ‘89 IROC.

Good job Arnold. One of my favorite cars on the board and has been deserving a win for a long time. To win this month with the stiff competition you had says a lot!

Thank you all, it's a great honor to be chosen as this month's COTM. I have nothing but admiration for those nominated this month, all stellar examples of the best the Third Gen community has to offer. I also want to thank Linson for all the effort he puts into COTM throughout the year. Thanks again!

Congratulations on the honor!!
They were all winners though. As I have said before, the quality of 3 rd gen cars out there is outstanding. And the owners out there that love these once shuned cars is great news in that these cars won't get forgotten.

Re: September 2016 COTM **WINNER**
I'll just say congratulations, as the work you do to maintain this fine piece of GM/Chevrolet history is outstanding!
I'm more of a modder, but I appreciate the $$$ and hard work spent to upkeep a fully stock 3rdGen. It's good for us all and the market, we get parts from, responds to us all.
Cheers!
