1992 Camaro RS, 3.1L

330,000km, runs like a dream, 600km per tank, I love this car as a winter car with snows on it!

Long live the 60*

--

Not that I dont like my trq'y v8 for summer

 

For those who never seen the car :






Just rolled up 330,000KM // car does 1000km a week, every week.

 

damn hommie, that is a warrior

 

Too nice of a car to be a winter beater!

 

that is a damn nice car for a winter beater

 

Thanks all!

I was thinking, If I could get a good amount for the White car, i could do an Ls1/t56 swap with black Z06 wheels on the Camaro, and just buy like a dodge spirt for winter!

 

Damn! Nice car, especially since it has 330k, I've only seen volvo's make it that long, so far.

 

my 84 has 33xxxx and still pulls like a SOB

 

I guess if it gets proper oil changes, and work it would last a long time. But how many v6 birds and maro's are left that haven't been beaten on?

 

We have a little over 206,000 showing on the odometer of my wife's '91 RS, before the odometer/speedo started working intermittently. Has some sort of a mid level rapping sound but that's been there for at least 40,000. Oil pressure is good and it doesn't burn any either.

 

you drive it in the snow?! you are indeed brave, and i salute you. and for the milage it has its a gorgeous car!

 

205k miles is very nice. I got mine with 170k, and with all the down time, put maybe 10k miles on her in 3 years.

 

bought my 85 with 65k on her back in 98...sold her this past summer with 154 k on her.

bought the 83 with 153k on her in 98 w/ a bad rod knock. she's now sitting with over 190k on her but a head is cracked.

not sure what the 86 has on her

 

I bought the 87 with almost 195K on the clock. At 195K, I had to drop in a 3.1 to replace the blown 2.8.
Put the T-5 in when the car had 213K on her, and put her up for storage last November. Got her out of storage this past May with 219K and will have 230K by the end of this month.
Hopefully I won't have to deal with the MT/non-ABS this winter when I buy back my Grand Prix that I sold in April. If I can't get the car back, well, then, it will be another learning experience for me, but nothing I can't handle. You learn to drive an F-body pretty well in a nice snowstorm and 2 ice storms (Grand Prix was up for repairs for the last decent snowstorm and ice storm I got stuck driving the F-body in). And, this time, I have snow tires on the car, rather then the junk tires I got rid of in July.

BTW, for MDv6man, if I were you, I'd go to a j/y and find a set of heads from an 85-up F-body. They have bigger ports and valves than the older ones do, and they will probably bolt right up to your existing intake. If you can't find a set, I know of a yard that has at least 2 sets without intakes.

 

I'm well aware of the 85 and up upgrdes the 2.8 received...bigger rod and mains, larger valves, better cam. I still have the original 83 v6 in my basement, along with the original motor from my 1986 Camaro. Haven't qite decided what I'm going to do yet. Was thinking of fixing the head with the older head to get it fixed up to sell. when the time comes to sell, I'd the offer to build a spare motor using the original block but machine it to accept the better crank. That motor would get the heads from the 86 motor and a better cam

 

Thanks guys, yah its a fun car in the winter, I drive like i said 200 a day, and its great, good on gas, not bad in the snow, I have 4 good quality snow tires on it, new wipers, everything is all lubercated and all ready, just did oil change on her and greasejob. Runs great for the km on it, seriosly, it runs like a BRAND new car, its nuts, quiet, smooth, shifts great

Ill post pictures of the bill of sale, all maint. records, shes done EVERYTHING to this thing from day 1!

 

I was thinking :

If that 3.1 Kicks the can, Ill have a spare 700r4 and 305 LB9 motor both in perfect shape for running (out of my formy that sgetting an l98)

I might put the 305 and 700r4 in the camaro and put smaller injectors and kind of tune it more emission/gas milage

Use it for winter still, but sure itll be running a long time for the 305/700r4

 

I couldn't help but mention the fact that your "winter beater" is about ten times nicer than my Camaro.

 

I am sure yours is great man, Fbody is an Fbody! I was just lucky the first owner looked after it so well!
