Anyone taking their original 3rd gen to MCACN this year, this weekend?
History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!

It’s that time of year... I know in the past, some pretty spectacular 3rd gens have been? Including the last Norwood Camaro. What can be expected this weekend at www.mcacn.com ?
I’m flying to O’hare to see the show. It’ll be the tenth year of this event.

The black '89 was invited, Jeremy. I just never followed through. It’s been hectic here recently with my dad’s health and putting it into MCACN dropped way down the priority list.

I had a car at the mcacn inaugural show in 2008. I found out later that a bunch of members from from a Pontiac forum I have been a part of for nearly 20 years went through. I was there for 3 days & I wondered how many avatar names I walked right past & had no way of knowing. A bright colored t shirt is probably the only thing that would have worked. Such a huge show & so many people. I need to get down there again. Its been at least 5 years. I hope to have my 68 GTO finished for the show next year, but we will see........ Hard to believe it's the 10 year anniversary already. Bob & the crew do an amazing job!

Used to go to this show when at McCormick, back as Chevy VetteFest. Not anything like it is now. So much better w/Ashton guiding the show past 10 years!!!

I met Bob in Green Bay when the mcacn was an inception turning into a show. He was telling me about it in a brief conversation. I ended up at his event & he remembered the car I brought & the conversation we had in Green bay. He is no doubt a 100% car guy & his passion is the foundation of why this show works so well.
He does prefer his Dodges over most others though.......

I usually wear sweatpants and a car event Tshirt of some kind. Kinda look homeless but I'm comfy and ready for any large buffet I find. lol
Maybe I'll put a piece of tape on my shirt with TTOP350 on it.
Safe travels

You guys may think I'm insane, but I loved this '79 Century Turbo Coupe. The owner races it in Pure Stock Drags with a best of 15.9 seconds. I told him when he gets tired of it to give me a call.

That under hood looks untouched, was it all original? Never saw one like that.
54K miles. The owner found it on eBay a year ago and hated the original color and made a color change, both interior and exterior. He's disconnected the finicky spark control and runs it on 110 octane racing fuel.

After MCACN, we were fortunate enough to be invited to my friend's warehouse, where they unveiled the newly rebuilt Hemi Under Glass, which he just purchased. He fired it up. LOUD does not even come close to the sound of that Hemi!!!

Here is the thread I started asking about the possibility of putting together a showcase. The Idea died this year from a lack of interest on the part of people wanting to display.

It's funny. You go to MCACN and spend 8 or 10 hours there. You can only really check out so many cars and chat with only so many people. Then you see the FB pics of the show and think, darn, I should have looked at that car closer or tried to talk to it's owner a bit. The show is so good and so large, you can only take in so much.
