I know its not the most, but they are all mine, or I have owned them one time or another...

1987 Yellow Formula 305 TPI A4, T-tops
1987 Yellow Formula 305 TPI M5, T-tops
1991 Maui Blue Formula 305 TBI A4, T-tops (sold)
1983 Red Trans Am 305 LG4 A4, T-tops (parts)
1983 Red Camaro SC 305 LG4 A4. (parts)

the last 2 are for parts, but have a clean title.

I was at my cousins house once... all 3 of my cousins (2 guys & 1 girl) all had 3rd gens... they took a picture of all our cars in the driveway together, but I never got a copy of the pic. Cars were:
My gray 88 Firebird
89 IROC, black
89 GTA, white
80s (not sure of exact year) Firebird, in purple pearl

That was certainly a cool picture!

It would be a salvage parts company and possible a car lot down the road. We got several smashed up Camaros we part out and sell the parts off of. We are gonna rebuild a few and save 1 or 2 other ones to rebuild down the road when these cars may be worth more.

Junkyards like that are simultaneously the most exciting and depressing things I've experienced lately: You see the wrecks of a lot of beautiful cars (depressing) but you wonder what you can rip out of them to put on your car (exciting!).

I explore junkyards once a month now.

Yeah it's sad, but to be around that many third gens is amazing. About half of them are parts cars though due to frame damage, like the white 92 z28 in the top picture.
