Well...nothing I suppose? Might spot one if someone drives it to my house to buy it...
The only 3rd gen camaro I see up here is a flat black-ish pre 90 RS with blue racing numbers on its doors. Other than that, its usually older white people with Burnt to hell clear coats from the High desert sun.

'85 TPI been sitting since 2005, my notes keep piling up on the windshield

5 speed L69 been sitting for years also. response to my notes or answers at the door, quite tragic.

Black Iroc With gold striping and gold epsilons?/gta wheels cars looks like it's well taken care of possibly original paint with a daytona hood
Re: spotted fbody thread
theres a loud, growly, fireengine red z28 convertible i see up here but its too clean for me, has that ultra shiny chrome rims/grill thing going on, but the engine sounds monsterous
if you see a flat black iroc (t tops off) in sfv/santa clarita areas it might be me, although it might turn yellow w/ black rims soon.. havent decided

Re: spotted fbody thread
A blue IROC in pretty sad shape moved into my neighborhood abiut a month ago. The car is covered with a tarp. I think it is close enough that I could literally throw a rock from where my black paperweight IROC is parked in my backyard and hit it.

Saw a blue z28 convertible on my way to my house I didn't saw the owner since he was inside the store
It looked in a decent shape even the top was good expect the owner had some different wheels on it not OEM
And also there is a blue firebird that in fact belongs to my neighbor next door to me (just found out) it seem like he don't car about it since it looks dirty.. But he seems to move it just for the street sweeper

Saw a red rs with white stripes on my way home from little rock. I also see an earlier camaro parked outside a small dealer in canyon country on my way to school.
Re: spotted fbody thread
Just saw an 1982-1984 beige spoilerless base firebird with the original Rally V wheels outside a Jack in the Box in Vista. Very plain and simple but remarkably beautiful to see as it's the first of its kind that I've spotted with the PE5 wheels. Wish I snapped a pic!

Got passed by a murdered out 3rd Gen Trans Am today on the 5 heading North just before the Del Mar fair grounds around 4:30. Was all black with blacked out tail lights. looked good.
Then later on in Carlsbad at El Camino Real and Alga @ 11:15 I passed a black 3rd Gen Camaro who was at the light and I was turning left. He gave a thumbs up. Couldn't see much on the car, it was dark.

Re: spotted fbody thread
Saw a nice modified black 85-90 camaro on my way to work the other day. It sat really nice, had some sort of black 17" or 18" 5 spokes, which were probably 11" in the rear. Black primered hood with 91/2 blisters, tinted taillights.
605/Katella in Los Alamitos. We were going east on Katella, around 8:45 am or so.
Has to be a member... Nice car, man!

Re: spotted fbody thread

very well could be... I recall wheels with a deeper dish, and I'm positive that it had a flat-painted hood. And I would've completely missed the 91/2 gfx.
