Here's my first ride! 1988 Camaro RS 60,000 miles 2.8L. not bad for an 18 year old!

What I'm most proud of is that I'm the only owner, and ALL those miles have been pleasurable!

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

Wow, a lot of nice cars, would be an honor to just be in a running of all these machines! Here's my car, its been along a pretty wild voyage. I bought from original owner in 2005 w/21k on it, bone stock. Added little bolt-ons here and there, eventually a mini-ram, aluminum heads and cam. Ran at best 13.1 at around 104.

Eventually, the 350 hydro-locked so I HAD to swap to something bigger. :D Got the 406 now, by accident I had it switched to carburetor (not a terrible thing) and then added the 4" exhaust, runs 11.99 @ 117. I've got plenty more ideas for her but of course they won't all happen overnight. Well, anyway here are a few of my car....

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

I guess I will add my car in. Here is a little background:

I've had the car since I was 16, I am now 18. I bought the car in fair condition, usually clear coat failure, torn driver seat bolster, and the other typical thirdgen problems. Since I bought it, the car has recieved a full repaint, and is now going through some upgrades. Doing a turbo 3.1l w/ a built 700r4 thanks to @fasteddi. The brakes, rear end and suspension will also be upgraded before I put the car on the road again. I wanted the car to stand out, and I think it does just that. Thanks for looking!

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

Thanks! I have to agree on that, I absolutely love it. It is awesome to see the looks on people's faces as I drive by. I probably put 12k miles on it this summer, and 10k last summer. It gets used quite a bit!

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

I'd like to re-enter mine. I was nominated for December, but never got a chance to give a good reason to why I should win because I didn't know I was nominated. I had a serious family emergency come up, and being the holiday season that didn't help either so I was away from the website for a while. Here is my 1992 Z/28 Z03 Anniversary Edition.

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

Thanks for the info on this thread. What an amazing collection of F-Bodys. Too bad there aren't car shows with JUST F-Bodys in different parts of the country. I go to a LOT of shows (in my area) and sometimes I'am the ONLY 3rd Gen in the show OR 20 Camaros to 1 Firebird.:nod: Hope you enjoy my photos as much as I liked taking them. Wish I could enlarge the pictures (computer problems) but if you double click them, they blow up nicely. There is a really detailed 6 page article in the October, 2012 issue of HPP, which by the way, was the last PRINTED High Performance Pontiac issue. You have to go online now to find it, but that sucks, because you can't take your computer to car show.:D

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

There are such shows like the Trans am nationals in dayton ohio.. about 3-400 of your closest bird cousins show up I think..

Now you can see the 350 Leds in the third brake light. Also thought the GTA tail lamps looked on the money, since they were a 2 year design only in 1991-92. The Trans Am Black Diamond Spoke wheels were a NO COST Option for 1991-92. I added the chrome center cap and lug nut covers.

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread

The following should probably be nominated for this month's COTM ('91-'92 Firebirds) today.

'(91 Formula???)

you're killing me here. does anyone else kinda hate it a little bit when people list only information EXCLUDING their current Third Gen in their avatar.

Re: Car of the Month Bait Thread
 

I'm new here, but just so psyched to get my hands on another third gen!

I had an 85 Z28 TPI,
Then, my beloved 87 305 TPI 5-speed with 4 wheel disc and 3:42 out back R.I.P.

And finally back in the game with an 88 convertible all original, bone stock.
31,000 original miles, very near mint. Original paint, original top.

I'm scared to even touch up the car being all original.

Found the last owner who had the car since 2003 and said as far as he knew from himself and the previous owner the car never saw snow or rain. It was a weekend cruiser.

Love checking out everyone's rides on here!
