No guarantee she'll like it better with a bow on it. But remember, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission
And you can always explain to her that your cars are an investment.
If that explanation does not work, upon regaining consciousness, you may want to apologize and take her to dinner. That always worked for me.

LOL!!! Dude if you don't hear from me for a month call the cops... I almost hope its a pile. He has not called me back yet, but I'm pretty sure I know where it is.
I just shouldn't spend that money, and I kinda like my gun.
I know... I got away with dragging home a stray camaro last time with the Z03 vert, but I think I'm gonna be in trouble on this one. TIMING!!! If it weren't xmas time, and honeymoon in Jan I don't think I would even ask about it... Hell the dash isn't even cracked!!! I think that up's the value $200 LOL!
Haha yea I saw your thread with the Z03 convertible, that's a nice car. Either way keep us updated if you pull the trigger on this one!
I really like the no ground effect look with tht being said had anybody on here changed a iroc to look like a sport coupe i have considered it a few times

mine wasn't an iroc, but a 90 RS when i got it. several holes need to be filled, and the gfx brackets need to be cut off as they're spot welded on. it's not tough though.

I think Im gonna convert it. Will there be holes in the bottom of the door too?
i do love my berlinetta. kinda of like the one BADNBLK posted. mines an 85, mines digital dash, mines a 2.8, mine was knocking, mine was also only $600. and now its a a jewel, drives like a marshmellow on clouds. also only 42k miles lol.
tires are from 85, so it must be factory. who would buy new set of tires on a brand new car? its a very low option car. didnt even come with berlinetta rims....just steels dated march of 85.
I drove around on a set of tires from 1995 back in 2008 til the cap of the tire came off and broke my mirror and beat the hell out of my door and quarter panel so id suggest gettin new tires soon
Oh and I already have both the bumpers just worried bout all those little holes im just gonna have a body shop take over from there but i think it'll look sweet with a sports coupe body and those big bold IROC emblems on the doors
Anyone with digi-dashes have things I should check operation on?
I don't have any digi-dash...but I would recommend seeing where all the dash mounting bolts are. Then change that sucker out for a dash with gages!! Sorry, not a fan of those digital dashes.
I am a fan of SC's though...but they must have either a cowl or Sunoco hood on them...it really sets them off IMO....
Quote: If I drag this thing home I know I am in deep poopoo, but its clean, and pretty close to what I was looking for. I'm scared of the digital dash stuff since most parts for that stuff is un-obtainium... Should I?
No -Just go get that car BADNBLK...it's easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission sometimes....

I'm learning slowly. I scratched my head for one hour too long. It was sold just before I got there. Dude sold it for $350... showed back up on CL less than a week later for $1500 with no repairs or improvements. Wish I could have been that guy LOL!
My favorite third gens are the 82-84 cars. Non gfx cars look really clean to me, when things like the side moldings and decals are removed. Here is mine... Not a huge fan of my wagon wheels but they helped to plant power and handle under power. I think the Sunoco hood and 5" spoiler added the little bit of flair needed to spice things up just enough to be interesting.

Wow, I know this thread is thread is way old but I completely agree. 82-84 Sport coupes. I have a 86 with the 82-84 front nose, hard top, T5 V8. I too want that 5 inch spoiler on mine. Im doing the 17 inch GTA wheels though for more of a squared stance and lower it just a tad.
GFX add about 100 lbs, I really like my SC with about an 8" black stripe around the bottom
I think when I paint it I will do a faded black stripe this time whatever the color
BTW, I have a brand new '86 GFX nose cover I would gladly trade for a SC nose cover in perfect condition!
I guess that's OK, since a lot of us really into that necromancer thing with our cars anyway.
Pretty sure the priest was coming to deliver last rites to mine when I traded a $300 rifle for it. Its still on life support. But the doctor is sympathetic, and the patient is mostly cooperative.
I like all third gens.
Immaculate to immobile.
My 1988 "half-year" model parked on the roof.
(No, I didn't drive it up there to throw it off.)
Clearcote has deteriorated since this pic. Some improvement of the mechanicals though.
I LOVE the no spoiler look! ....my 86 SC had no spoiler, and I got comments on it quite a bit actually. Had that really clean look, many people hadn't seen.
I've been shopping around for a "parts car" and came across what I thought would be reasonable. Now while I haven't decoded the VIN, it appears to be an 82 Berlinetta. What has surprised mean was how absolutely clean and rust free it is underneath. Add that it's got new rubber on the 15" Z28 rims, which are also very clean, and it's worth the $750 it cost.
Thinking of dedicated race car but finishing my current SC would probably be a good idea first.
Hey I'm in Australia and just got a Z28 SC 1987 model is it possible to put front spoiler and side skirts on the SC?
By the way here's a picture of the car I brought
Hi there,
Very nice looking car. That's a Sport Coupe, not a Z28. Yes you can put the GFX on it from a Z28, I think you need to weld on a couple tabs on the lower quarter panels in order to bolt them on, and drill a couple holes in the doors. Look on this website, I think I have seen a build thread that explains it all.
Personally, I would recommend keeping the car as an SC. It's a very clean look, and you don't see them every day. Is yours a RHD conversion?

Oh I had no idea is was not a z28 , On the advertisement it was put down as z28. Haha my bad and yes it has been converted to RHD
Thought I'd revive this thread after a few years.... ....when I last posted in 2018 I still had my 89 that most of you know me for! -Have since sold that and it was a good choice. No regrets. It was time to move on. I've been through a few that didn't quite stick since then, and now, I've got a Hyper Blue '16 Camaro SS, and no thirdgen. -but I'm about to start shopping. Really, REALLY looking hard at an SC. Not sure exactly what direction I wanna go with it, but it would harken back to my very first thirdgen, which was my first car in high school. Bright red 86 with a 2.8 and a t5! Anyhow....wife and I are closing on our new home soon, and then have to sell our current home. Once that's all done, -I'm shopping!!!! Money is there but I need to keep it on stand by for now while bigger moves happen. Hope to be shopping by fall! ...in the meantime, thought I'd post up a link I've been sitting on. Car is long since sold, but it's SOOOOO close to my first thirdgen, I use it as motivation. Beautiful car! https://www.premierauctiongroup.com/...atchback-coupe
