You had to move to a town named Mustang? Contact the mayor immediately about changing the name to Camaro!

 

I will leave the name alone but I do plan to persuade more of its citizens to get rid of their Mustangs and get Camaros. GM has the majority of the truck market but Ford took over the sports car market. Thats what happens when you give fans of a brand nothing new to buy for eight years.
I teach high school now so I will be influencing a new generation to drive bow ties and not blue ovals.

 

Hey OKC guys,

I'm stripping a '82 trans am out in Choctaw and have a 3:23 posi rear disc end and Th-350 steel driveshaft,Incase anyone's interested
Crap load of parts doors, fenders !!!!!

No maro parts sorry

Thanks,
Dave

 

What do you want for the rear end?

 

OKC Third Gens, there is a copmlete minus all glass 89 RS V6 Camaro off of 10th and Meridian being parted out. It is a V6 auto car with t tops. The t tops are in good shape and all the interior plastic is there. A ton of good parts for CHEAP! I got the drivers door and the caps for both door panels today for 100. Black car with black and grey interior. She is on craigslist. Happy hunting.

 

$300 ??

I think is fair since our good buddies at american/camaro ask $450-500 for the same type !! lol

Car it came from only had 97K miles on it driven by a (Norman) woman,So I doubt not much abuse LOL

Dave

 

Hey anyone know of a Oklahoma camaro thats black with Red louvers and custom wheels? They looked to be mags like on 90's chevy trucks.

 

Good deal. Let me figure out how to justify this to my banker (wife). I will have an answer tomorrow.

 

oh oh the wife talk,Yikes !! "May the force be with you" on that lol

PM me if you decide to do it

thnx,
Dave

 

Will do brother. I took her to the new outlet mall on Reno and now I am clearing the "honey do" list. The force is strong.

 

hmm smart man Ok Cool let me know

Dave

 

Ok guys I need some help.. I don't wanna get rid of this stuff because I need them but a family emergency came up. Does anyone need umi subframe connectors and a spohn lt1 t56 crossmeber and torque arm? I can only sell at retail price, however, if you buy from me there is no shipping. I really need to sell both because money from one is not enough.

 

Hello fellow ThirdGens. I just became a proud owner of an 84 Firebird (er 6 months ago) and finally decided to start working it over. I bought it cheap with a bad transmission and crappy interior. The car (Christine my GF calls her) sat for 7 years without even a wink. I put it in the garage to start the make over. This is what I've done so far.

1. Bought another 700r4 (1988 Chevy p/u donor, rebuilt and solid) and installed it.
2. Got two Quadrajets, one for install, other for (mods) installed.
3. Bought a distributor cap and ignition module, installed it.
4. Installed a new radiator, (with electric fan(Which is too small I think)).
5. Put in a used alternator (doesn't work) but I can fix, I believe.(Cheap)
6. Bought a really good battery (on the cheap)
7. Paid for a bunch of hardware to tie it together.

Would you believe after I dumped 5 quarts of tranny fluid, 6 gal of gas, fuel stabilizer, checked oil. It fired right up. I drove it down the street. Darn 305 (this one) is pretty tough and still doesn't smoke. There are still many problems left to solve including the non-working ignition switch (won't spin the starter, so I use a jumper for now).
I might be posting some new threads if my research fails for some of these issues. I can't wait to wire in the TCC hack.

Thanks, and See ya.
Troy

 

Does anyone know of a good exhaust shop in okc? Im over here by nw expressway.

 

Performance muffler in Norman is the best !! I got my 80 series flowmaster muff,3" chrome tips and straight pipe "cat delete" WITH lifetime warranty all for $250 parts and labor . And ALL the performance car guys go to them !!!! And they stand by their work NO questions asked !!!



Dave

im still "looking" for a shop to do my 4inch.

i should get an engine before i do tho lol

 

Hey Guys, newbie here. Looking to get up to date on third Gens, before I purchase one. I'm an avid car builder, was a chevy guy for awhile, built a 62 Nova and a 75 Camaro, but I've been in the ford scene here recently. Currently own a 98 Mark VIII with a Kenne Bell that I placed 2nd with at the Midwest Shelby Meet this year. Has a ton up Cobra swapped supporting mods, and somewhat quick for a grocey getter. Just finished a T-Bird that I've been cruizin daily, and just started on a 70 model Ford Truck... As you can see I need your help getting back to my roots and GM.

I'm located in Tulsa/BA area, would definitely like to meet a member or two. There's a Black Gen 3 with Corvette Wheels around here that is responsible for giving me the bug to start one if these beauties.

Couple Recent Builds:

 

Outta OKC,Still got a WS6 3:23 limited slip rear disc for $300 CASH OR WS7 3:23 limited slip rear drums for $225 My mechanic can deliver for gas

 

NeedaGen3, that's some nice work on the Fords. I like the sporty looking luxo-barge there. A local guy has one that he uses for autox and Hallet days. Surprisingly, the "Mark H8" does pretty well.

Parts, I don't suppose you could make a list of what all you've got sometime...? Or maybe a link to your ebay/craigslist auctions, or however you sell 'em? I don't need a rear, but I'd like to see what else you've got.

 

Way to many parts to list man

best to PM a list and ill know if I have it or not

Thanks,
Dave

 

I have been in the market for a third gen for quite a while now. Finally bought one a couple weeks ago. It's an 87 Firebird with an LG4/700r4, 90k original miles on it. Only has a couple of problems (needs timed/tuned, needs temp. gauge rewired, needs new rear hatch motor, paint) but I think I got a pretty good deal on it. Need to get those stickers off for sure though...

 

i actually have been doing things to my car! lol finally!

welcome man, I'm pretty sure I've seen your car at one of the Tuesday night Fuddrucker's meet. It was definitely surprising to see what you had under the hood lol... I have an old 84 4Runner here in Tulsa, but I also have a blue 91 that I'm building back in Houston (currently slowly gathering parts for an LSx/M6 swap) If you need a hand wrenching once you pick up a 3rdgen, dont hesitate to shoot me a pm bud

 

Thanks Man! I'm still looking, finishing up an old Ford Pickup and a Foxbody Right now. Once their done and gone, I'll be starting on a Gen 3

 

Hi all, its good to see all the Okies here I'm just getting back into the third gen scene, been running fords since I got rid of my 88 Iroc a few years ago and I got to say it feels so good to be in a third gen again Anyone here know of any good deals on a 700r4, 500 or less? Wanting to do a t56 swap sometime next year but I need keep the 92 going till then. BTW: If anyone here needs any water wells or wants to do Geothermal on their house or business just PM me and I can get you a quote I do work all over Oklahoma.

 

nice to see some okies! unfortantly I am moving to Denver Co for work and I have to sell my 91 and 90 firebirds. If any one you okies out there know of someone who wants one Ill selling them together as a set for 2000. the 91 is a v6 in pretty decent shape needs some minor tlc and the 90 is a formula i bought for parts to convert the front end of the 91 for a v8 mod. The formula body is in alright shape no rust just a few dings. the interior is rough in the formula but it does have all power windows/locks. and it also has aluminum ws6 rims. some one needs to give these a good home where they wont just sit and rot.

 

btw I am located near Ardmore. (2 hours south of OKC)

 

I am new to this site and i love it so far. Now i need your help. I need to find my dream car. I want a 92 anniversary edition, perferably a Z28. At least with a V8 installed. I need one that is running and will drive to start with but im not afraid to crawl under the hood. I am from Durant. I am currently overseas serving with the National Guard and will be home in March or April. You can email me at chrissooner77@yahoo.com or send me a message on here. Thank you all, i look forward to enjoying this site with you all.

 

anybody know of somebody that in or close to okc that rebuilds rearends?

 

i wish i did.


i got a question. anyone know of auction places or anywhere i can buy a totalled 4th gen?

 

Please Help! I have been looking for a thirdgen for six months now! I thought it would be cake, considering I have a respectable amount of money to spend. I just found this thread and think it might help. I am looking to buy a 1985-1992 V8 Camaro. Preferably a manual, but at this point auto will be just fine. I am not looking for a roller or a beater guys. Good shape, reasonable miles(I understand they are 25+ years old), no MAJOR broken glass, solid runner. I am a gearhead, I can work on cars so minor mechanical problems won't be a problem. As long as it fits those requirements, I want it.

P.S. No RS!!!

 

6 Months is too long for a 3rd gen, I would suggest continuously checking up with Craigslist, Ebay and http://www.ridesafely.com. Its an auction but look up what you like and buy it, Bid to own, Ive seen some nice 3rd gen go for cheap with your stat request but also 4th gen donors if your looking for a good one to do a LS swap from. Also on craigslist, select your closest city, then on the search tab, type in the city along with your model request and it will only bring up the city you typed in if distance is a issue. So good luck on the find as I search for good projects everyday and I'm in Tikrit Iraq at the moment, but will be back in Henryetta, OK in January to enjoy my RS. lol. which of course is a LS swapped car Rally Sport.

 

Scratch my post script. Any RS with a swapped motor is fine by me. Keep that L03 away from me!

 

Checking in here. New to the site. I own a 91 RS that I bought about 4 months ago. It be nice to talk shop so to speak about what my options are on a motor swap. Ive got access to ls1 stuff. Here's pics of the car and my other 2 hobby cars.

 

All three of those are nice rides, I too have a semi done classic muscle 69 Camaro SS but buried away in a building on my land until I can get to it, looking for a donor 4th gen at this time. So is that 3rd gen staged up for the Track? I cant tell or not as its a blurry pic. I love the paint and would like to see more of it. So where are you located at in Oklahoma? On the far western side as your title states Horn?

 

I'm from okc. The Camaro is a 305 TBI/T5 car right now. I'm looking into putting a LS1 this winter. Just gathering info right now. The Cutlass is a 455/400 setup. The mustang is a 306 set up with lots of goodies and is pretty fast. I look forward to the Camaro being faster come spring.

 

Hey guys. I've just come into possession of a 1985 Camaro Z28 with the LG4. I used love working on cars with my dad at his place cause he had all the equipment I needed. He has retired to Oregon of all places and took his toys with him. So i am wondering where the best perfromance shop is in oklahoma that has fair prices for their work. And as we all know the LG4 is satan's gift to the camaro and I want to beef it up with out swapping he engine just yet. So heres my other question: What would be the best cams and headers set up that would work for the LG4 and what would be the best fuel injection kit for it, preferably one of those new self tuning ones? And if you guys could give me examples for these things that are the absolute best out there regardless of price and also an example of some more affordable options, that would be awesome.I am pretty new to te thirdgen and am trying to find teachers wherever i can.

 

Any one know of a good body shop tax refund is ready to spent when I get it.....BTW 91 RS 305 TBI, aalllllllll stock, just bought it from a 70 year old lady who was the original owner everything works I'm the second owner all the car needs is.......heater core, paint and headliner and dash.

Anyone know where I can find some of this stuff at a decent price....don't really care for American ripoff.

 

Where are you from jayhawk? And what exactly are you wanting to do?

 

Ticeblue: there's a shop downtown 5th and Walker called Latinos paint and body. Owners name is Melvin. They do awesome work and aren't expensive. Then there's a guy in Edmond who is among the top 5 percent in the nation in painting. I can get his number tomorrow if you'd like.

 

I live in Bixby and I'm looking for a place that has the necessary equipment for and engine swap and that can install upgrades such as headers, cams, exhaust, etc. You guys probably find what I'm saying to be heresy but my son and I are working on a '67 Malibu for my him and don't have time for my Camaro currently. I just want the camaro up and running a little stronger.

 

oklahomahorn, I'd like the number for the guy in edmond, got a 72 Rivera I'm doing a frame off on and have been looking for someone that does HIGH grade work,

 

i will prob be buying a totalled yukon soon for parts on my tahoe. i will sell the motor(around 120k miles vortec 350) anyone interested? it runs!

 

I have not been to my buddies shop to get the painters number. Bear with me , I'll get it soon. How's the Rivera coming?

 

Horn, I swear I've seen that Mustang and Olds around.... Neighborhood looks a lot like mine too. Are you around Tinker/Crossroads area?

Jayhawk, maybe just swap the carb for TPI, and a decent cam? Should be cheap, but would add 50+ hp.
