Re: Meeting in EL Paso

Yeah, but if you can find the same car in phoenix for $1,500 less, then its worth the trip, right?

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

Their is a $1200 88 camaro vert over on Wharf Cove off pebble hills. It is in pretty decent condition, would need a new top and definite engine work, but it runs.

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

I know, I saw it, but i hate convertibles. they're really weak and the chassis flexes a whole lot. the third gens already have chassis flex and the verts are terribly worse

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

Ha! keepin this post alive. I wouldn't say I'm active but i lurk around every now and then when I need motivation to work on my cars. Omnipotentgoku might remember me from way back ( as Z, Zman, or the guy with the black Z28?) when there was a thirdgen only club back in the day here in EP.
I still have my 84 Trans Am and 85 Z28 but my TA is still in pieces and I haven't been wanting to register or drive my Z28 until I am done doing everything I want to do to it. It's been a long time and I have made big progress but I still wont take it out until i build the engine I want. It wont be much longer tho....

Here's my Z at it's worst state of my 10year long ownership:

This is as it sits now, waiting for a new engine so I can finish the suspension rebuild and cleanup and full under-hood detail.

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

Wow, didn't know there were other El Pasoans here. Glad to see! =) I kind of got into neons since I bought one, but if anyone wants the '65 I'm selling it... I need the room, and plus the '69 is the one with the real sentimental value. The '65 is a pretty solid truck.

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

What are you asking for it? I have always wanted a 60-63 C10 because my pops had a 62 when i was growing up that I want to replace. I prefer those years because of the rounded windshield and nicer dashboard, but if your 65 is up for a good deal i might consider it. Is it a long or short bed? Got pics?

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

The only reason i'd go to El Paso is if I was flying in there before I visit family in Chihuahua. Now is not a good time to be in Mexico though. Probably be a while before I do. I went to Andress H.S. in 2000.

1000 bucks, but it needs some work. The body is damn straight though.

I'm stationed up at Holloman, near Alamogordo, but would be willing to make it to an El Paso meet. Also have a friend in Cruces with an '89 RS she's rebuilding. Deployed right now, but should be back in November.

Re: Meeting in EL Paso

Ah, I leave before November. I would love a quick meetup. I'm organizing a cruise for tomorrow evening at the sonic on montana and airway. If any of you wanna go, hit it up. I really am trying to focus on tastefully modified cars, and old school rides. I'm taking my truck ('69) tomorrow for the meet. Hit us up. Just park in the drive-in spots only.
