Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Saw this at the Cruising Ocean city in MD.
Was sitting near the coastal highway.
A group of fbodys had gotten together at 711 and this pulled up driving right passed us. He fueled up and drove away.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I passed this sharp looking 86 a few times last year going the opposite direction. Then, on the way to work, I saw it parked this week in the neighborhood so I took this pic. I was planning to stop and talk to the owner and next day it was gone.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Yeah it appears to be all original, and a local car, the Sutliff logo is the Chevy dealership around here and that's the original font logo they had in the 80's so the car was never repainted either! Wish it wasn't sitting out in the rain!

Saw this one yesterday. It was in "okay" condition with an obvious repaint, but the interior looked pretty good when I walked past it.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Shame, if what I read on NastyZ28 is correct, dark green-gray is the rarest colour offered in 1992 on this RS in a Largo, Fla. LKQ.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
That's Some Bad Paint Deterioration For A 1992,I'd Like To Know What State This Car Lived Most Of It's Life,I've Seen 1982 Daily Drivers With Original Paint That Looked Better Than That.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I think I'd scrub the hood and roof with a water/CLR mixture, clear it and drive it.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Not sure if this counts, but it is a blue IROC and it was in a parking lot, parked almost directly across from me. I'm sure shows don't count, but I wanted to brag about my first car show....

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Saw this in the super market parking lot. I parked and waited for the guy to come out. 1985 all original with less than 15k. 1 owner car, TPI, and those gatorbacks. He thinks the louvers are original but not sure if it was a dealer option. Absolutely beautiful!

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Wow that's nice and it's an 86!!! It has the CHMSL on the top of the rear hatch. The rear window louvers were a factory option for 1986! Those original ones sell for like $400-$500 now.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
BTW, it's an '86 and those aren't Gatorbacks.
It would look so much better with new center caps.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Yeah the guy was an older gentlemen and he said he just bought the car a few months back from the original owner, he paid 12k. He seamed a little confused and was in a hurry. I was just so amazed to see this at my local grocer that I did not take a close look.

It's definitely a really clean, maintained, original looking car! Great find!

There are not very many thirdgens in my area, but this car has been on base driven by an older lady for the last fifteen years or so.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
What is the closest to a Gatorback that we can buy now? Looking for similar tread pattern and "sticky" factor. My tires are rock hard and spin without trying, kinda sucks and is pretty unsafe.
Thanks,
Thanks,
