Great pics and great stable there, TTOP! I wish mine was that "toasty."
Bought mine Aug '89 - CA trip was 12/10 - 1/1. Stored on Jan 1 with 33,500!
Storing a car really helps, for us Northern guys.
Here's Santa Barbara 12/89

So anything over 50k is high miles ??? I always thought 200k was considered high miles ??? Since when did 3rd gens become collector cars ???

mantaguy

iTrader: (5)

Not really,It's a continuation of IMissmy86's Low mile cutoff of 50K mile thread,200K miles is considered high mile,don't know when they became collectors(most likely when they are approaching the historical age of 25 yrs.) but their are quit a few members here who do collect them and some beauties I may add.So do you have one to post??

86B4Z

Sure, this is my 4th 3rd gen 8th camaro - '86 IROC w/166k. Completely original, #'s matching engine/drivetrain/rear end. Unmolested.

1992 Trans Am with 296,XXX miles (with my 1979 400 4-speed with 68,XXX miles)

I bought my 1989 Firebird 305 with 48k and I've driven it over 4k since. Last summer it won 3 class trophies in car shows around Ft. Lee (Petersburg) Virginia, where I was stationed for 6 months in the Army. Trying to keep it as stock as possible, so all the upgrades or replacements have been "inside out": new tires, shocks, struts, tie rods, exhaust, valve seals, tune-up, refurb headlamp motors w/new gears, refurb UM6 radio/cassette/aux jack, new amp and speakers. Runs and handles probably better than new. Drove to VA and back, over 1,000 miles at 75-85 mph, averaged 26 mpg. Back home in central Ohio and not many car shows or Firebird clubs, other than T/A Nationals in August.

Anyway, great thread! I love to see Firebirds that are taken care of, regardless of mileage. -Tony

Looking Good

Viking

Bought mine new in 89 - now up to 365K miles, original engine, never been opened past a timing chain. 3rd tranny, 2nd rear.

Change your oil.

Van Nuys born

Wow! That's alot of miles ^

((Mike))

iTrader: (1)

And it still looks new! ^^

Viking

Thanks, full disclosures, car was repainted in 2000, at about 275K

RedLeader289

iTrader: (2)

Love it. Such a true statement.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Beautiful! How'd the interior hold up after all of those miles?

Viking

Thanks. Interior is still OK. Black is sun faded for sure, and small tear in the side bolster on the drivers side. Otherwise good. Headliner sagging a little but not terrible.

TheJoeY88

iTrader: (2)

well the 92 i picked up REALLY cheap about 3 years had 262,XXX then and it drove like new. Has VERY low options, has been a great daily driver, even drove it to the TA Nationals twice.

The 79 is actually a Y89 Tenth Anniversary car i picked up around 6 or 7 years ago, had 58,XXX miles on it then, now has 68,XXX, all numbers matching and original. A previous owner painted it blue and put on a 77 front end, i put a correct 79 nose on it but kept it blue for now, ill paint it silver soon.

Here is an older pic of my 92 before some paint fixing next to its other sister, a 1978 Y88 Gold Edition i have had since 1993. Has the W72 400, WS6, Automatic. I saved it from the crusher at a local junkyard and restored it.

mantaguy

iTrader: (5)

WOW,just between your two cars,your a little north of a half million miles and they still look great.

Van Nuys born

Hey, with that many miles you probable had a rock chip or 2..... looks excellent..... nice job taking care of her.

( I was on my I phone earlier and could really see the pic's )

I just picked up an '88 T/A with 53k miles. Hope to add some more as soon as the weather allows.

Barely broken in compared to most cars in this thread, but here's my near 104K '83.

MJS422

365k - That is amazing. Especially putting all those miles on yourself.
Well done! Nice looking IROC too!

mantaguy

Boy,O Boy,Both of these cars look like they never left the Dealers Show Room

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Thanks. Put it like this, the white one is very photogenic.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Wow, that's a nice find. As far as the previous owner goes, it never ceases to amaze me on what some folks will do to their cars. Does it still have the turbo wheels and silver leather interior?

TheJoeY88

iTrader: (2)

Yes it does, the full silver interior is there and all stock, even the 8-Track works. I have the turbo wheels but just put on a set of 8" snowflakes, i figured i would put the turbo rims back on when i restore it back to a real 10th.

mantaguy

iTrader: (5)

8 TRACK TAPE!!,I bet some of the members don't know what your talking about

yaj15

iTrader: (3)

Ha ha at this point a lot of younger people won't know what a cassette player is let alone an 8 track.

Was 1982 the only year in for thirdgens that you could get an 8-track tape? I know the factory CD players were not available until 1989.

I'll post a pic of my car. 1988 IROC with 200,000 miles. I'm not the original owner but I have had the car for the last 13 years.

mantaguy

iTrader: (5)

Beautiful car yaj,it's nice when cars trade hands that their taken care of as the previous owners would have expected.

chazman

Car looks sharp! I think that's the first time I've seen it.
