I think you should put some lowering springs on that and put the Iroc taillights on it. I mean seriously, that thing is getting into the 4x4 Camaro range!! I rather liked the orange paint it made the car pop more, I think you should repaint it that orange color or something similar. Also I recommend putting Z-28 rims on it...

Oh that red Camaro was a project I was considering on picking up but I think the guy has moved away.

 

The photo gives the impression it's sitting high but it's only slightly over stock height. I have NO intention of putting any kind of lowering kit on my car, I live in south Texas where road work isn't ever in the budget. Since I don't want to be replacing my ground effects constantly, I'll stick with my current ride height. As for the orange, hell no. That color was god awful. It was tangerine orange, bright and obnoxious. Hugger orange I would consider, but it's too overdone on 3rd gens. As for the Z/28 rims, they won't fit the rear backspacing. I have a 4th gen rear and they would stick out 2" on either side. I do want to get some sort of replacement rims, but that's far down the line as the car still needs subframe connectors, a new exhaust system, roller rockers, a Megasquirt II daughter card upgrade, a wideband O2 sensor, a GM flex fuel sensor, and a few other odds n ends before any new cosmetic purchases come into play. The IROC-Z tail lights I already have, so it's budget - neutral.

 

it didnt look like that for 500 bucks.

 

These are the two birds that i own. The grey one is a '90 that I got for the cost of pulling the motor for the previous owner. The green one is a '92 3.1L that I bought for $500. Not to bad of a deal but it had 170,000 on the clock but it still running strong and now I have over 213,000 on it. I was kinda surprised this car wasn't worse than it is cause most everything was still original (even the shocks).

 

$600
Was driving when I bought it and had 130,XXX miles on it.
Rebuilt engine and bored .30 over.
Swapped TBI to carb.
Going paint next, then rims, then interior.
Have $3640.93 into the car.
Need another $3949 to finish.
Haha

 

Bought it last August for $7400. Marlboro sweepstakes car. 37000 original miles.

 

he wanted 5500$ but when i showed up it wouldnt start so he droped it to 3000$....its a 88 sport coupe

 

New crate 355 with a T5 tranny. Paid $3500 just like this... 74k miles on body. All gaskets/brakes replaced and the front end rebuilt.

 

Paid $1000. Previous owner wanted 1700 but apparently Im pretty persuasive.

Minutes after purchasing had to get gas for the trip home.

Got it home.

As she is now

 

Just picked this one up last week. It's a 1992 305/5spd hardtop rS, rust free Texas car with a clean title and only 111,000 miles. Only thing wrong with it other than the primer hood and roof is a bad head gasket. Got it for $800.00

 

^^^Tell me you have more decent plans for it than parting it out?

 

wow idk why but i love it. something about the no ground effects, especially the front bumper, and the spoiler make it awesome. is that the hawks spoiler? it looks a bit bigger than the others

 

I overpaid at $2500, but it's exactly what I wanted. Black, hardtop, 350, rear disks, etc, and as a bonus, the hoosier that owned it before me must've let a Great Dane take a leak in the back seat 10 minutes before I picked it up.

Paid 6800...Was my daily driver for a few months now it only comes out on weekends and sunny days! Picture is the day I bought it.

 

Payed 1000 for mine, didn't run, guy had a heavy a*s sub box in the back and it rubbed a wire to the fuel pump. Needless to say 50 cent butt connecter. Fire right up. only rust is on the driver's door and passenger fender. Crappy G.M. paint. runs like a stripped a*s ape. Gave the Subs and box to my Stepsis lol. Got a set of the '87 Iroc-Z 16x8 wheels for it. I think I put another grand in it. 700 was for tires, and the rest was like Grid Taillights, painted headlight buckets, shorty antenna.

First pic of her.


How she sits now.


Next pay period, I'm either going to order Eibach springs or look for 91/92 front and side ground effects. Probably the springs. Wish the paint wasnt to crappy on the top of the car.

 

Nope, it's getting parted.















...totally kidding...

The head gasket is getting fixed next week then well fix the paint up a little and try to pull a few dents out, then either flip it for a big profit or my wife will keep it for her own.

 

whats been done to it besides paint ?

 

Paid $7000 for mine, and didnt know it needed a new cam, bigger injectors, bigger pump, and a few other things.. On a good note, it only has 32k origional, it was supercharged(but that was shot too, so I upgraded), 383 stroker. I have put $3900 into it and its still climbing in cost. I lost the battle on this buy, but after Im done I will have won the war. Plus I will never be selling it.
Corvette Turn signals,
prestine interior,
Tints,
Shaved Door Handles,
New Paint,
never seen snow(absolutly zero rust)
no leaks

 

paid $2800

 

New 350 w/ heads and cams MSD holley carb. Switched from tbi to carb. Rebuilt trans w/ shift kit and megashifter. Dual exhaust nocats, headers are in the mail. New interior parts subs headunit and speakers. Lots of little things too. Its been a never ending project since I bought it.

 

Looks good, with a sprayed hood and roof, that car would literally go for $5k in Minnesota if it's as clean as it looks in the pictures.

 

Traded a 94 Silverado with 230k miles on it for mine, Had paid $1800 6 months before for the truck. Car had 129k on it when I got it. Bit of a project but no major probs. Also the engine had been rebuilt... at some point. LOL

 

i paid $4000 for it and has now 45000 miles

 

$4000?!
WOW that thing is MINT! you got a great deal! Did you get it from some old lady that didn't know what she was selling or something?

 

Well bought for that price!

 

Hey, hey, hey, what's with the DOH smilie?
You stole that car for 4K.

 

yeah it is pretty mint, actually it was a guy he wanted $4500 but i got him to go down to $4000 . the car was his uncle's he got old and wasn't interested in the car anymore so he put it in a garage for few years and then he decided to put it up for sale on craigslist. i actually was searching craigslist every day for six months and once i saw that car i jumped on it right away. and it was only 45 min drive from where i live.

so that's kind of the story behind my car

 

hehe i thought it looked funny with it like that lol

 

I paid $1400 and then $2000 to paint it so into it for $3400

 

3200$ 2 months ago, after alittle tlc it looks better, the pic of the car itself was when the other owner had it, the motor pic is what it looks like now




the pics below are of the car before and after it was painted,

Here is my 88 Iroc that I paid $1500 for. Pictured is my friend Ken helping me clean the car up a bit at my friend Bills' house. His friend is who I bought the car from in South Florida.

The car had 105k original miles, had all its original body parts and wheels. The interior wasn't ripped, torn, no dash cracks or anything. AC is cold and still original coolant.

The headliner was rotted...There was a small rust hole in the roof in between the T-Tops and windshield that turned out to be even more holes. It had constant codes 33,34, and 36. PWR door locks, seat, hatch, mirrors, and horn all didn't work. The drivers side ground effect was cracked and the left front fender was bent from a tire blowout. Oh, and there was a huge coffee stain on the drivers side floor that Folex took out. The paint was and still is 5 different shade of dark red...

Most of those issues are long fixed and the car runs really well now. Still have more to do, though. I like to tell people its a drivable restoration.

 

Paid $16.000 for it...back in 92.
thats before it left for Lingenfelters.. but that was 17+ years ago.

has it looked before the new 427 sbc


still smells new! who knows what the nexed 20 years will bring...

 

I paid $2k...possibly original 60k...possible 160k...unsure...



had some old wheels laying around and pulled off the beat up bra...vacuumed...HUGE improvement without spending but $25 to mount the "old" wheels.

 

I bought my 89 RS in Nov,2010 for $900.
Had less the 50 org miles, just rolled to 50
Replaced fuel pump, and cleaned it up a bit.
Plan is to get a nice paint job on it after I decide if I want to put the 350 in it out of my 91 RS I don't know how to post a picture..lol But its in my profile

 

Thought i would let you know there is a 91 convertable clean here in Az for sale.
He was asking 3500 now he has went down to 2900. You could travel to get it!
There were only a little over 5000 made! Look under Craigslist in prescott under cars

 

Here is mine, it's an 87, vin code 8, bought a 91 5.7 out of a Z28 to put in it. Bought the body for $500, motor, tranny, exhaust, rear end, all accessories, 96 Camaro seats, dash pad, old school sound system a/d/s amp, Bazooka bass tube that looks like a nitros bottle, covered speaker covers in leather as will do with headliner, for about $1,200 more. Waiting on more parts to begin install. Completion date set for June 15th... wish me luck!

 

1987 Formula, paid $14,790 on October 27th, 1986.

 

I love yellow! I had a 86 Iroc with the TPI, It was a sweet car! I think you got a super great deal!

 

1987 Iroc-Z, 5.0 TPI, paid $800

 

How does it look now?

 

paid 850.00 138k miles 1990 camaro rs

 

Bought my 92 Camaro for $5,000 three years ago.... It was completely stock with only 68k miles. I have made some suspension upgrades, Wheels and Tires, and Exhaust. I also changed some other small details.

 

Bought this 1990 RS Camaro for $500 believe it or not. I don't have kids so I'll be in the garage making it look like those one you have posted. Give me time, give me time.

 

@ 92whitemaro: see, that's what I'm talking about. I want those wheels. (response to the white one right above my post)

 

Thanks.... Yeah I think the 18 Inch Iroc Wheels look great on a White 3rd Gen... So Glad I chose the Iroc Wheels.

 

PO wanted $500.00 but couldn't find any keys. Dropped price to $350.00...I'll take it, thinking of Atoll Blue paint, Goldleaf bird on hood, hand striped in orange, then surrounded by yellow/red "real"flames, what do ya think of the concept???

 

traded my '98 monte z34 with 200k for my '85 iroc on 4/18/10. the body had 130k but both the engine and trans had just over 60k. The previous owner paid $2500 and he bought it from the orginal owner 2 years before i got it.

 

The day I bought her home....



Bought her at the beginning of January w/ only 46,172 miles for $6500. All stock. Only thing I have done is add 5% tint one the rear window, 20% on the sides, and a 5% strip on the windshield... And, upgraded from the factory radio/stereo system to a cd player, replaced the dash and mid speakers w/ new ones, and added a speakerbox with two 12" subwoofers and an amp. Right now, I sit on exactly 50,007 miles.

 

Nice. Your just around the corner from me. unless you have another car, those miles are going to go up fast.

 

$150.00 including a new motor and everything to put it back together and new seals.
