Michigan 3rd gen F-body club?

I live in Shelby Twp. Does anybody know of any 3rd gen F-body clubs? If not, is there anyone else from around here that wants to start one with me?

i've been working on it for the past few years but haven't had much luck seeing as how the thirdgens in the area are so spread out and 4thgens pretty much dominate the show circuit.

we've only had one successful gathering which brought a little under 30 cars so we typically have about 10 of us who will gather for some of the larger events but have relented to do smaller gatherings. if you know of a few or any of you are interested in actively pursuing this let me know and i'd be glad to help you.

it isn't hard to do and sounds like a good idea but something always seems to come up making it rather difficult to get everyone together.

92RS3.1L, you living in shelby twp and being so close to everyone i'm surprised you aren't at some of the weekly events.

I'm definitly interested in a club. I'm out in Eastpointe, but I'm move out to Kalamazoo on the 24th for college. Goin to Western.

Where are the weekly gatherings at? I want to try to make it out before I move. I've been busy with preparing for school so i havent had the chance to get out.

there aren't really any gatherings any more as it's too hard to get people together.

head up to mt.clemens on wednesdays and redrobins at hall rd. on mondays and you'll find some of us.

Re: Michigan 3rd gen F-body club?

None that I know of. As wexeles mentioned back in '06 MIFB.com used to be very active. But as that crowd has aged, they are much less so on the forum or on the forum successor, facebook. They do still have an annual Meet & Greet which is nice (held in Washington Township this year, and perhaps again next year). You can watch the forum for updates on that one. I just reconnected with my first new car ('91 Camaro RS) at that show a month or so back.

My car at this years Meet & Greet.




More photo coverage of that show in my build thread starting HERE.

Shelby Twp here as well! looking at purchasing another 3rd gen. haven't owned one since 2008 but I miss it! hopefully will have one in the next few weeks, looking for a 87-89 GTA would love to join any gatherings that may occur. maybe easier to start a FB group? i just sold my delorean and ran our local group for that club
