First Camaro!!

Finally got my hands on my first third gen! Man, I've wanted a camaro since I was a little kid going to car shows with my family, and I always seemed to gravitate towards the third gens My daily driver is a a Toyota Avalon, and well I wanted something more American, with a nice throaty rumble, and a nice v8. I happened to stumble across her on craigslist, went to look at her and bought her! Of course, she's coming up on 25 years old, she's going to have her issues. But she's mine and I couldn't be any happier!! She's not my daily so I have all the time I need to get the issues ironed out. And I don't want her subjected to the salt and snow of NJ. Yes, I know it has the z28 ground effects, one of the PO's put that on. It's an RS, 305, 700r4, t top car (they don't leak). Any comment's, questions, or suggestions, let me know!

Thanks! Oh eventually! Right now being a teenager I don't have a ton of money to dump into it. I want to get my major issues ironed out like my t top channel rust, and a little motor work. But eventually I want to dump an ls engine and t56 in it. Cage it, and make a little street car out of it

Thanks! I'm in love with mine! For what i paid, she's a solid car. And it's 80's/90's GM, parts are plentiful and cheap. And they're not difficult cars to work on

Re: First Camaro!!

Its cool that younger people appreciate older stock looking cars.

since "car is cool" was already said I will say that's a damn good looking driveway

Since you noticed the driveway you probably saw my dad's 80 Malibu behind my car. They're almost the same color

and the neighbor's pickup.I never seen a Malibu in real life but then again I don't think I ever seen a driveway either since people in europe are obsessed with fences

That Malibu looks like its in perfect condition still the camaro looks alot more exotic there.
