well guys after reading and posting a few things i'm finally one of the boys. I bought an 88 camaro with iroc ground affects and t tops, its a 5 speed obviously a v6(hence the board). it has no rust at all and all it really needs is a new dash pad and a handle on the drivers door .

just wanted to share my success

 

sweet, did you get a good deal? maby you can post some pics!

 

pics pics pics.

 

the car cost me 1950 normally they go for 3 grand around here i got it for a steal

 

the t tops don't leak at all never have it has some minor interior problems - cracked dash cover and missing the drivers door handle but hey can't win em all

 

that's a pretty nice lookin car. is it 2.8 or 3.1? just reread...if its an 88, i'd assume 2.8 if its original. goodluck with it and be careful in that snow!!

 

its a 2.8 and its my baby i'm not insuraning it for another week or 2 so the snow should be gone by then. thanks for saying its a nice car

 

Well you're from Surrey so maybe you did steal it (j/k).

 

DAMN!!! How'd ya know?

 

also i'm kinda curious about alarms what kind do you guys have as i live in the car theft capital of north america.

 

Are you really? I'd go with something that you can track then... or at least a 2 way pager model (let you know when it goes off!)

 

yeah here in surrey we get something like 17 cars stolen an hour and its either a 2 way pager or me with a REALLY big gun and brand names people have had success with?

 

Pull the coil wire off and take it with you. That's my extended parking security system.

 

hmmm thats actually a damn good idea

 

serious, nice "steal" , envy u cause my front g/fx kit is broke, it was broke when I bought it.. I paid 1700 for mine...

 

Congratulations on your Camaro purchase...

 

thanks guy i'm just happy to finally have my thirdgen

 

OH and dark man really nice gta

 

Congrats. I just purchased my 2.8 firebird a couple weeks ago. I got mine for $500. I live in N.Delta and can understand the snow problem we're having. I'm not sure about camaros but if you look at your fuse panel, there may be one for your ignition or coil or something you can remove and the car will not start.

 

500 bucks? you bought that one in the buy and sell? if you did i was gonna look at it a few weeks ago but i wanted a camaro instead. was it actually in good shape?

 

I'm not sure if it was the same one or not. It belonged to a guy I used to work with. Interior is a little rough but it runs really well and flew through aircare. Could use a new interior though (the car has 228,ooo kms).

 

yeah same with my car just flew through aircare all reading were way below average passing but hey you got a good deal even if it does need a new interior

 

what's aircare?????

 

Aircare is government emissions testings.

 

yeah aircares a real bitch

 

congrats on the car....shes pretty

 

thanks man

 

welcome to the wonderful world of owning a v6 thirdgen. My first thidgen is a red 1988 Camaro, 2.8, 5-speed, t-tops.Paid 800 for it but its not too pretty but I love that car. Shown many people up in it Have fun and don't get too crazy. Seen too many of my friends wreck their thirdgens or ruin their parents thirdgens.

Oh and BTW, in the very front of your ground FX, you have the same spot where the silver is worn off like mine

 

yeah i wasn't to worried seeing how i'm gonna get it painted in a few months
