What plant was it Dan do you recall ?

Ditto on the Pace car shot, never seen so many Recaro seats in one place and probably never will.

 

nice pics where did ya find those at ???

General,

I found these pics in the old threads of our History/restore Board here on TGO. I looked at almost every thread on the history board and i bumped into a couple of these pics from other members postin them up.

 

I bumped into these pics, and boy ive been doing alot of searchin here on TGO to find some of these pics ppl postedt hese a couple years back. Now i rem findin a pic of 1991 Z28s parked outside the Van Nuys factory. Dont worry i will find it and i will post up anything else i find

 

Also TA67 those are intrestin pic, where you pic that up?

 

heres a pic i found here on TGO of thoes pace cars. i think there the same ones

 

This thread has got some great pictures. Keep em coming.

 

i also have this pic. i think the person said its a news paper clipping.

 

yay! Here we go 91rs , now you new where to find em! :yourock: I still have to find a couple

 

And how many F-bodies do YOU see in that pic???

I see 100 or so... really cool pic.

John

 

oops sorry i did not know thats what you where talking about. i for get where i found it. i was just looking around one day for a post like this one all i could find was a couple of pictures, the ones i have posted. so thats why i made this post. thats when i found it sorry i cant be more specific.

 

hey 91 RS i found another picture. heres one taken at Van Nuys in Jan of 1992. Man look at those beautiful Z28s, they even look good with the louvers:hail:

 

dont you realize some of them are missin there front bumpers

 

they did that so when they loaded them on the trucks they didnt screw up the paint on the front ends ...

 

o ok thanks for the info General

 

So if only 4 million F bodys were made that means that over half of the F bodys out there are 3rd gens. If I am correct with there being 2.3 million third gens made.

Kevin

 

i thought they made more 2nd gens? Hmm i gotta do a search on this one

 

:hail: man thoes louvers do look great! thats a really cool picture and they all have the same 16in wheels. nice find!

 

i bought an 89 iroc with t-tops and a 350 tpi back in 93 from a used car dealer that had the louvers on it ....i like them they add to the car in my opinion...

 

I thought the rear louvers were only factory in 1986? Is that pic from a dealer or something?

 

nope they could be ordered. Thats a pic in the Van Nuys Parking Lot in Jan of 1992

 

I run the 83 Daytona Website/Registry, a visitor sent that one to me. Also got some other cool items there. There was even a movie with the 83 Daytona TA in it.

Check out:

83 Daytona TA Website

and go to "Stuff"

this is absolutly awsome!!!

 

sweet pics, keep em coming guys

 

Killer Pic.....Top Left one looks like a B4C

 

now i know theres alot more cool pictures out there! theres a great book out there thats got a lot of great eairly third gens in it its called CAMARO THE THIRD GENERATION by Michael Lamm the ISBN # is 0-932128-02-5 this book is great if your a third gen history buff and its got great pictures i would scan them on here but i do not have a scanner. i was lucky thoe i found a picture of the book on ebay.

 

4th Gen Camaro being built.

 

:hail:now thats cool only if we could find some third gen pics like that

 

exactly theres too many 4th gen ones, There has to be some 3rd gen ones out there!

 

one would think wouldnt ya ....

 

theres a couple in that book that i just posted about. but thats not the same. hope we can find some

 

I've got the original December 1981 printing of that book.....and I still love to read it!

 

could u post some pics???

 

yeah scan those pics and post a couple of em for us

 

Some more pictures Unfortunately they are 4th Gen.The last three are the St.Therese assembly plant today.

 

i would scan the pictures but i dont have a scanner sorry.

 

I'm going to cry!

 

I've been crying since the beginning of this thread!!!!!Like a baby!!!! It' s depressing that Gm stopped makng these beautiful cars...i mean that pic of all those 91s in my opinion could be a pic of a current chevy dealer...thirdgens are just as modern looking and more attractive (when new or restored) as ANY new car!!!!

 

Yep its Just so Depressin lookin at these Pics.

 

lets all hoist one for the camaro:hail:

 

Enough with the 4th Gens already!

You people don't realize, that factory being taken down was one of the best things ever for the F-Body. (or should I say, for the next Camaro )

 

You people don't realize, that factory being taken down was one of the best things ever for the F-Body. (or should I say, for the next Camaro )

why u say that?

 

PM bigals87z28 and ask him why. He'll explain it all. I know it doesn't make much sense to people that don't know why the car was really stopped or to those that aren't following the 5th Gen. It was a good thing, believe that. Now, back to Third Gens.

 

thanks for all the pics....can someone explain the silver/pewter 427 Camaro pic...at St Therese?! I did not know those were upfitted there. Details please. PM me if you don't want to post 4th gen stuff here

 

The ZL1 pictures are from GMMG not St.Therese.

 

we are getting alot of 4th gen pics but not as many 3rd gen pics as hoped here.....makes you wonder if GM got more laxed on the no picture rules on the 4th gens for some odd reason.?????

 

Just a lot more 4th gen pictures on the net.

 

Glad to see my pics made it on the board!!! nick418, you must know kizz. I mailed him those pics over a year ago. I would have posted them myself but I don't have a scanner. The car carrier with the red IROC's was shot at Norwood during the 3rd annual USCC grand nationals, June 1987. All those red IROC's were headed for Canada! And the three Van Nuys pics; purple Z28, and black Z28 vert were indeed shot January 1992. We went back to Van Nuys in August of that same year and I have more pics of the holding lot when it had more cars. The close ups of the grey Firebird and white IROC on top of the transporter are mine too but I did not take them. Somebody I know who worked at Norwood took them in the final days of production. There are more pics like these including inside shots of the plant. I probably have enough material to do a website dedicated entirely to Norwood during the third-gen years but don't know anybody who is computer savvy and has the time to take on such a project. Maybe one day...

David

 

post some more pics on here of the third gens you took for us to gawk at....LOL

 

If it was possible for me to get those pics, I would make the BEST site EVER!!

Seriously, I'm sure the guys here will all pitch in to buy you a scanner!!!
