89 RS

Hi TGO
I am new to this site
I recently purchased this 89 Camaro RS about a month ago. I paid $1150 for the camaro which in fact was not a bad deal from my friend point of view.
Here are some specs on the camaro
LO3 305 TBI
700 R4 Transmission
Red Exterior
Black/Gray Interior
Matching 15in red rims
The camaro is a work in progress car since the red paint is starting to fade.
I was able to get some new tires for it but i am thinking to change them to the 92 Z28 16in rims.
I want to drop in a 350 in it later on in the future depends how things work out
Right now i am fixing it little by little at school, but i am also working on it with my friend (saritasan)
It is great car to have fun in
Let me know what you guys think about it

Looks great! Welcome to TGO! I had an 89 RS. I wasn't technically mine but if I ever fixed it up it would have been. Too much to fix though. I miss it. Good luck with it!

Re: 89 RS

Hello Guys
Here is a few updates on my camaro
About a week ago i damage the radiator on my camaro. I was driving home and all of the sudden i heard a boom and saw anti feeze all over the street.
The next morning me and my friend checked it out and notice the radiator is leaking fluids on the side.
I was be replacing it with a all aluminum radiator that my friend is getting me

Re: 89 RS

nice car, you could maybe polish up the paint, as far as the 350 why not grab a 350 with the tpi set up, i remember buying my 350 complete with tpi set up for 550 from a local autowrecker in lOng BEach, what are the plans for the car
