Looks great! But I would still want the top to go down.

Cam

 

I dig everything about it except for the paint job.

 

the cloth dash and panels are interesting

 

i wanted to see a pic with the top down, and yes i would like it better in a solid red or black color

 

ive seen alot of crappy flame jobs on third gens,i dont know i its the lines of the car orwhat. they just never look right. This onr tho, someone put alot of love into. the flames break behind the door, i like it.

bluezee28....was that you in camaro performers this issue?

 

You mean the letter I wrote? Yep that's me

 

The auction says that the top is no longer removable due to the rollcage. I guess its not a vert anymore just a soft top coupe with a trunk.

 

Pretty crazy! I assume it's not stock?

 

Looks to have a nice power plant - but why would you build a drag car out of a convertible? That just doesn't make much sense to me - now with the roll cage your top is stationary... Wouldn't it have been just as easy and cheaper to build one from a hardtop? Too each is his own I suppose...

 

That's what I was thinking, especially since 'verts are a bit rarer. Considering that car's drivetrain has hardly anything original from factory, I would've just taken a dime-a-dozen RS or sport coupe.

 

I think I see the LG4 in there....

 

might not have started out as a drag car, just where it ended up. I see quite a few verts at the track.

I wasnt going to put a bar in mine, but the wife and my mom teamed up and are making put in a 8pt. My top will still be usable. a few guys on here have verts w roll bars.

 

Most strips reqire that anymore if you are pulling a decent time in a 'vert...

I would rather be able to cruise with the top down so no strips for me - except for the Vegas strip

 

I dig the car but I'd really want some action vids. Can a 6.71 blower actually push enough air for 1168hp??

I ran 9.85 with the top down and didn't get booted... Usually run low 10's though.. Shooting for 8's sooner or later...

 

Nice pictures man! I like your vert. In the first pic, were you leaving a parade or something? I see your car, a weird tricycle, and a c4 corvette, all in line!

 

It was last years Woodward Dream Cruise here in Detroit, MI. Biggest gearhead gathering in the world I believe on one of the oldest strips of road in our country. It's a suggested stop for any motorhead. 3rd weekend of august every year. They frown on burnouts in some locations but open headers are welcomed everywhere... haha

 

I wonder if it's the roll cage or the fact the rear tires take up all the space where the top would sit when it was down...

 

oh wow I just noticed that the auction has been over for a while lol. Looks like someone took her away for $18 grand!

 

Wow! and it was probably less then 30 miles from me.
