Just making the cliche "Im new" post, Im picking up a Camaro z/38 tommorow or next day(yes z/38, im looking for information on wat makes it a z/38, CHP did a article on it, and it doesnt look like a normal 3rd gen, Well if you have ANY info on them, Please let me know, Thanks.

 

Welcome!

Although I've never heard of a Z-38, I'm not a Camaro expert. You would be best to post in the history and restoration board once you have the car and the RPO list from the console/locking rear glove box.

 

first.. WELCOME.. glad u joined...

2nd.. umm.. i want some pics.. cause i have never head of a z38 camaro.. i thought the z38 was the monte.. or was that z34 i have heard people calling their 3.8Lv6 camaro a z38... but i checked all my camaro books and never is there a thng about a z38.. hmm.. now i wanna see..

 

I never heard of the Z38. but the Z34 i think is the Lumina as is the Z24 the cavalier.

 

I had never heard of it either, Ill get pics as soon as i can, It was only a concept car, And i guess afew slipped out.

 

oh boy. well. i hope its somethign for real.. but if its a turbo hood.. im goign to be upset..

 

welcome,so where are you located?

 

umm.. sabatian.. under his name is location .. and he is in TX

 

hey hey,chris,no one asked you,lol. i didnt even look, i figured he just moved here or sometihng.oh i found a car im gettin next month

 

Its more like new hood, and entire new rear.....

 

where is the pics!!

 

I didnt get a chance to go and take some tongiht, But i got some info on it.

"they made Z38's out of camaro's and somthing called a tarous or torinno or somthing weird like that out of transams, basically it is touched up 3rd gen F-body with a stiffer suspenion and a body kit, apprently they also had different gear ratios so they had a higher top speed(like 155 )"


And guys, Is it just me or is everyone over at 3rdgen.org a bunch of ****in ******?

 

yeah,alot of guys on ehre will flame you for days over a simple question, but hey for some people who have no friends or lives,and ahd no firneds in highschool etc.., it amkes em feel like a man,or woman to get online and talk all big and bad,hitting the keys ahrd makes em feel tough i guess,lol.but their are some nice people and very helpful guys around here.

 

dude.. shut up.. haha j/k

 

where r the pics!!!

 

sorry but ive never heard of a z38 either...

and the source you cited over at 3go isnt that great, its a link to another guy saying he has heard of them, yet he posted no real proof. not trying to be a ***** but you just never showed any real evidence.

 

ok.. lets not start a he said she said flame war.. he said he will get pics up, so lets just give him the beneifit of the doubt and just wait till the pics show up.. plus im really curious on what it looks like... btw.. whats the vin#?

 

yah, im not trying to start a flame way...just posting why they seemed like ******

id like to see it...

 

 

i was looking around on camarosource and i cant find a link of where you found an article or anything on it, mind sharing that too?

 

this is all there is

What was the "Contempo" Camaro?:

Starting in early months of 1984, Contempo Vans of North Hollywood, California., began offering a custom-bodied Camaro. Major modifications included a fiberglass decklid with louvered wings, wheel flares, rocker extensions, 16-inch alloy wheels with high performance tires, plus a choice of paint schemes. Customers could order the components separately or as a Do It Your Self package. Another option for the customer would be fore the factory to do the work for them.

 

I have saw a Corvette once over while I was passing threw Garden Lakes area that some dude did a Ferrari Testarosa body conversion, I know that very few companys offer conversion kits for 3rd-4thG F-bodys if you like Euro-style, the doors pivot up it's mostly fiber galss. Also i saw an ad a few times in either CHP or SuperChevy(in back of book) were the rear window was replaced with one similar to the Fiero and optioned was a high rear wing spoiler.

 

<~~ lives in garden lakes..

i havent seen that vette/ferrari.. but i have seen a few vipers.. and 2 owners r made at me for beating them

 

wow, thats a fugly camaro.

 

It looks like a VERY poor GTA wanna be! No wonder I've never seen it before!!

 

ok.. tiem to get soem pics up.. its been a while now.. jsut go and get it or have ur bro drive ti to u.. and u can drive him back home...

 

What year is this car? I have seen a 1970 Z-38, but never anything newer than that... I thought it was just a concept car way back then... hmmmm

 

more info on said car?

 

I saw the '70 at a car show years ago in California... I haven't seen another since though. I found this picture online, the only one I could find was on a model car website...

The one I saw was red, but it looked just like this. I don't know any more about it, other than it stuck in my mind because it looked so cool!

I'm afraid my info is just as vague as the other guys... sorry

 

from camarosource on CZ28.com:

Where did you get "Z38" from? We never said this was a "Z38" or is it any kind of GM Concept. This was only an aftermarket kit.

The write-up: http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new...empo_camaro.htm

 

Hey SLP Addict, it's time for the pictures! We need to see this car!

 

i think we scared him off teh intArweb...

 

OOPS!!! I didn't do it!

 

Is this what he's talkin about?

http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=184652&page=1

 

I don't think so, he was talking like it was a third gen.

 

No, he either typed "3" instead of "2" by accident or put it there to make the car sound different, if you get my meaning. ;-)

 

what ever happened to this guy?

 

I think we scared him away

 

i tried my hardest lol j/k

 

He got mad and left because GTA4ME called it a GTA wannabe

 

well,this has almost no topic now lol,so anyone got a 373 posi rear i can get for my z28

hey aziroc do you know where i can get a ket to make my camaro look like that? hahahaha j\k:sillylol:

have u even read this whole thread? someone said they had 1.. but havent posted a pic of it.. and i found a pic of it on some other site.. and posted it. im not saying i want the kit.

 

That picture was UGLY! I didn't try to scare him away, I was just pointing out the obvious. Tell me I'm wrong!

 

i just wish hed post a pic of his car.. granted the car is. well.. "ugly" but seeing how i never have seen 1 of those before (from the factory) is kinda cool.
