Hi! Long-time reader, first time poster. I love third-gen F-bodies. I've worked on a white '84 Firebird and it was fun, (except for reconnecting the e-brake cable to the drum ). I hope to get one soon.

Anyway, does anyone have any pictures of stock 1983 Camaros? I'm building a model for a friend of mine and need good reference material. Thanks!

 

Hi, and welcome to the boards. Go here and do a search for 82 to 84 Camaros you should be able to get many pics. https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/index.tgo?action=search

 

Sorry, no pics, but just wanted to say welcome to the best third gen board on the net. We have over 20,000 registered members and are growing every day.

Do a search of the readers rides and I am sure you will find many pics of the year you are searching for.

Again, welcome to the boards. If I can be of help to you, please email or PM me. Thomas

If your into sport coupes here a couple pics:

sorry, i don't know who they belong to.....

 

i got some pictures of my 83 lying around these boards, try the search.

I wish I still had my 83.

 

Lots of great info! Thanks again!

Just to make picture-finding easier, were there many changes in the body and interior between the '82 and '84 MY's?

And what color is the frame and the engine (I could use this info on the Firebirds, too.) Sorry for all the questions, but the instructions in 95% of all model kits are either off or dead wrong. Besides, how else would one learn?

I've tried the search (that helped alot, too) and spent about two-three hours going through the results.

 

I'm fairly sure that's a berlinetta if it makes any difference....

 

Engine bay is body color....engine crossmember and suspension components are semi-gloss black.

'82 SBC V8 engines were Light Blue, beginning with '83 they were Black.

 

Well, I was meaning cars without ground effects but thanks.....

 

Yep it is , its owned by JohnInRI and is wicked Badass
