1984 Berlinetta what should I do?

I got a 84 camaro berlinetta with the 305 and 4bbl carb. The car has no rust prefect body. Paint is peeling in some spots I guess it's not original paint. Interrior looks brand new with no tears or signs of real use. I want to put the IROC front and rear bumper also IROC side skirt and hood. Should I keep it all stock like it is now or should I just make the way I want it to look. I got this and not the IROC because it was cheap and I new the owner but I love the I rock body and moldings.

Posting from a cell phone? All the obviously auto-corrected words are almost as annoying as all caps used to be.

Sell it and buy an Iroc if that's what you want. Otherwise all you'll have is another mix and matched frankenmaro. When there are so many thirdgens with GFX why would you buy one without if thats what you wanted?

Keep the GFX off, it will grow on you. I own a GFX car, but I've warmed up quite a bit to the non-GFX cars.

I probably won't put any on. I love the body style of the car that's one of the reasons I bought it but the only thing I was beer crazy about is the front number on the berlinetta it just seems too high off the ground and the rest of the car is low

I have an '84 Berlinetta I'm looking to part out before it goes to the salvage yard. If anyone's interested, contact me here. Interior and exterior parts.

My first Camaro was a charcoal 82 standard Camaro with a 305 and no ground effects. It looked bad *** with wide tires on it, more so than if it had ground effects.

If you have any plans to make it a fast Firebreather Camaro it would VR a perfect sleeper not to mention the reduced weight without having all the spoilers like the Iroc and Z28 that announce your awesomeness instead just modify it under the hood and your set to move like a rocket.

Re: 1984 Berlinetta what should I do?

I would keep the car original if i were you, if you want an IROC, then see the car and get one. Berlinetta's are getting harder to come by so I think it's cool when i see one.

Re: 1984 Berlinetta what should I do?

Keep it original, the Berlinettas have enough unique features to make them interesting/marginally desirable, and they're getting close to impossible to find in decent original condition.
