March 2022 COTM "Vendor Showcase Third Gens" **Nomination Thread**

This is a Nomination Thread for cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a Voting Thread within a couple weeks.

You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.

Nomination Guidelines
  • Nominations must be of high quality, finished state, and in working order. No unrealistic, overly processed images. Please accompany the nomination with,
    • a single large, high quality photo
    • name of TGO member (with proper caps and spaces)
    • year, make, and model of car
  • Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO member. Cars must have a second nomination in order to continue to the Voting Thread.
  • Likewise, do not ask another family member or friend to join TGO for the purpose of nominating your car. Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car.
  • Do not nominate more than one car.
  • If you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your car (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 category ***

Vendor Showcase Third Gens -- Let's decide on the very best high quality modified showcase 82-92 Camaro or Firebird that our Third Gen Vendor community has completed... let's find out which one has caught our attention the best! Also for this nomination thread it is acceptable to have a Vendor have more than one third gen nominated (they will be treated as separate voting options)

To get the ball rolling I am nominating Hawk's Storm Trooper... who wouldn't love a Pontiac with a 427 and TVS2300!

I'll second the DSE-Z. It's what very 3rd gen. Camaro aspires to be.

I knew Heidts had been involved in a 3rd gen build, but I was unable to find any information on it.

Seconded.

These are neat cars but I don't think you're going to get any stories behind these cars for the voting thread. Taking up COTM nomination slots that other members of this site would enjoy more if they were nominated.

Just trying to do something different for one of the months to drive some interest... Also you seemed to be fond of Silver Streak and nominated it for COTM in January 2017 when I was checking to make sure none of them had ever won COTM!!!

I thought different back then and wouldn't do it today. It got obliterated in voting because it had no person or story with it.
