Re: Chicago IROCs

I am talking planning something like between late May through early September...

I hate the salt on the roads. And by Chicago I was assuming Chicagoland, which would include NW Indiana. I got plenty of friends who live in Crown Point and Hammond. Of course, none of them have 3rd gen. Camaros/firebirds.

If anyone else is up for it let's plan something.

Re: Chicago IROCs

Rare option 87? how so? G92 package like mine? There's no way that 355 came from the factory as an option... but even so, sounds sweet brotha

yah its an original 305tpi/5 speed car, g92 option, ttop car with overhead console, factory 1 piece rear window louver car, and the g92 rearend was ordered with a 3.73 option gear from the factory. original owner was a doctor and special ordered the car this way.

since then he has swapped motors with a 475 horse 355, still has the original motor with it, hes done full hotchkis suspension, cowl hood, centerforce clutch, and more. car is super clean and interior is mint. selling it to me for cheap

He probably meant ordered with a 3.45 gear. No TPI was ever combined with a 3.73.
