The car I just picked up (86 z28) ran when i loaded it up, but barely. I know it sat for quite a few years, so i can imagine the project I've gotten myself into, but I guess I was looking for one . Once I brought it home it sat for a few days, and now it seems its not getting enough fuel to run. I'm getting spark, it'll start on starter fluid but will only run a few seconds.

Just ordered some new injectors so the journey begins... Hopefully that will let me pull the car in and out of the garage. Anybody else have any winter projects going on?

Yep, will do the same...when I got rid of the TTA last year I got myself a black '89 GTA to do a supercharged 6.0/4L80e swap. I also have a 92 T/A convertible that I just pulled the 305 in favor of a 355 Vortec headed TPI. Those are my winter projects....

I have that spare 305 if you want it. Ran well, just has 100K on the clock

Re: PIttsburgh

That GTA is going to be sweet! I'm not sure i'm interested in another 305 but I could probably use some TPI intake parts if you didn't swap it all over on your 92 TA. Someone from Meadville had a Stealthram for sale on craigslist not long ago, was that you?

Any western PA folks still active? I'm around Corry PA, not far from Meadville, Titusville, North East, Erie, etc. My bird and I have been quiet for a few years, time to get out there with the new motor

Re: PIttsburgh

Does anyone in the area do anything with the SCCA? I have been wanting to join and do some club racing but wasn't sure if the SCCA does club racing around Pittsburgh or Western Pennsylvania. I was planning on building up a nice 305 to race in the American Sedan (AS) class in the SCCA.

SCCA does events out at Pittsburgh International Race Complex (Pitt Race). Not sure if they do AS class out there though. May be worth a phone call to find out.

Just had major back surgery...so I'm on the shelf as far as meets go. I would like to see those seat covers and door panels though. Snap a few shots and send-em over.

Good luck with the "minimal rust" search. 98% of the ones on craigslist that say "zero rust" are more like "zero rust visible on the surface".

I noticed that a few years ago when I was looking for one to build. I have it and it is too nice not to mention on jack stands, to try to drive every day.

Re: PIttsburgh

I belong to both NASA (Great Lakes Region) & SCCA (Steel Cities Region).

NASA has the American Iron Series (AI) & Camaro, Mustang Challange Series (CMC) for our 3rd Gens. There is also Time Trials (TT), Hill Climbs, Road Rally, HPDE.
Best to go to NASA.com/ Great Lakes Region for explaination of the different series. All depends on what you like.

SCCA has started Track Night at various tracks, PITT Race is one on them. Held once a month, go to PITT Race calendar; I think June 9th is the next one. There are also different levels of HPD at PITT Race. SCCA has Time Trials of Club Trials, many different racing classes. Again, go to SCCA/Steel Cities Region for events & info.
If you have track experience, sign up at Oragne Cone Racing.com for the Ohio Muscle Car Challenge in Aug 22-24; I'm usually the only 3rd Gen there. In fact there aren't many 3rd gens road racing locally.

Noticed this one on craigslist. Claims of low mileage but not really any other details are listed. Could be worth a look for 2k.

Re: PIttsburgh

I am looking for my old car in Pittsburgh. It was a 1992 Camaro RS V6 auto with T-tops. It was Medium Quasar Blue Metallic. It had just over 19,000 miles on it when Hurricane Ivan of 2004 hit Sharpsburg PA. Shortly after the flood I sold it with an R title to a guy named Jeff Paris from Shaler. I tried to look the guy up but could not find anything. My father bought the car brand new in 1992 and handed it down to me, we were forced to sell it at the time due to the amount of work it would have taken to restore the car.


If you happen to know the guy or know where the car is, please message me. I would really like to try to buy the car back.




UPDATE: Found the car, in absolute terrible condition and the owners is asking about double what it is worth.
