Original Owners

I was wondering if there has been any thought as to finding out who bought and still owns their 3rd Gen? As an original owner I have been interested in this, as it has not been the most popular series in the Camaro History.
My 1988 IROC-Z was originally ordered in 1987 and received it in April of 1988. This car was rejected 5 times due to requests of special options and being a convertible. Being up in Canada and with our weather not many have survived. We have been a member of the OCC since 2004.
Like I first mentioned if you site could have a section for "original owners" and "servivers" and find out how many exist still?
Taken last Summer at our RV Park.

Re: Original Owners

I know there are quite a few original owners on this board, and I think its awesome that so many guys here that have kept their cars for so long. Nice looking IROC! Tell us more about it!

Re: Original Owners

Placed factory order early February 1988 and picked up from local dealer in late April 1988. No too many changes - paint still original.

Thanks for the comments guys. Your cars are terrific as well. Mine has stayed in very good condition, but certainly far from perfect. So many great cars on this forum and the knowledge about these cars you guys have is amazing. I'm always learning.

Photography is also a hobby of mine and I do enjoy finding a cool location and good lighting that will make for a fun or unique shot. Thanks again.
