Joining the 3rd Gen World

Back in late October, I traded a 1991 S10 for this Purple Camaro! Its registered and titled as a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro, but i'm pretty certain it's either a 1982 or 1983 Berlinetta Sport Coupe based off the info the previous owner gave me. The vehicle was originally a V6 Berlinetta car, and a 350 was swapped into it at some point in the past. It's a Frankenstein of a few camaros all merged into one. All removable panels are from one car, and the body is another. The only things I know about the original body is that it was metallic blue. That's all. The entire interior is swapped from a different vehicle, so I can't even run the RPO codes accurately 🤣Anyways, hoping to get to know some of the members here, and hopefully learn sone valuable info to get this purple thing back up to spec!

First pic of the vehicle after I purchased some American Racing AR08s from a seller on Facebook Marketplace

Re: Joining the 3rd Gen World

What did the 91 S10 look like? Small truck from down south is worth some serious money these day up here in the snow belt. Same for a rust free Camaro for sure!

This is the S10 I traded for my Camaro. 1991 Extended Cab with 300k miles. It was originally from Virginia so it had slight rust, especially in the passenger cab corner. This Camaro I now have actually has legitimately zero rust on the body which is insane

Haha yeah I know. I actually do like them but they're way too thin, plus i'd like to have 17s. Just bought these for now because the wheels that were on the vehicle previously had tires that were absolutely trash. Almost 15 years old and pretty dry-rotted

Re: Joining the 3rd Gen World

I think I'd lose the giant tach. But it looks like you found a decent car.
