Went to O'reilly's to pick up a few things. Saw this in the lot. I asked one of the workers about it and was told it belonged to one of the driver's and he just got a 1st place trophy at TGF.
Hah! I know, right? Shame I was in my 1995 Olds Silhouette instead of my Sierra, would have fit right in.
I was wondering what car is that.I was imagining you were in a Pontiac Transport looking on the small side window that goes along the A pillar.The pic thou looks like a screenshot from 80's movie.
Spotted yet another one today...this is quite interesting...two tone with 91-92 ground effects, and red IROC louvers on the hood, without grid tail lights....looked in pretty good shape though!
Spotted this one while on call to open the black Yukon that was next to it, owner was kind enough to open the hood and let me poke around... I had to burst his bubble though when I told him it wasn't a 5.7 car...had to point out the 5.0 sticker under the hood... Solid car, needed some work, but a good driver.

Why does everyone think every V8 car is a 350?
And why does everyone with a V8 Firebird think it's a Formula?
I Cringe When Ever I See A Third Gen Pulled Over A Curb Like That,Just To Much Of A Chance To Break Or Scrape Something.
Yeah, that plastic dam underthere is GONE. He wouldn't have parked like that if it was still there. Which brings me to another rule I have: never buy a car that doesn't have the air dam underneath. In addition to being careless, that car didn't get proper cooling as it was driven.
I spotted this 91-92 RS this morning while out and about! Even has the sweet aftermarket sunroof!!!
??? sunroof ???? Didn't see it. It looks like I see red in places on the roof where the paint is thin.
I just don't get the flat-black crowd. Also the keep-it-in-primer crowd! Even with rat rods. I understand the minimalist thing and keeping cost down, but I'd have to have gloss paint - not a $10k paint job, but JUST a decent gloss paint job! Primer is not intended to be a top coat. It's very absorbent for moisture.
Well, I can tell you I never saw many if any when it was new!
Something like that would make me have a closer look to see if the rest of the car is restorable and then I'd verify paint code and see if I could save the car.
You'd have the only car that color at any all-Camaro show you took it to, guaranteed!
Keep these photos coming, guys! Sadly, when I was growing up all gen cars were common on the streets. Now it's rare to see ANY gens (even 4th gens and 5th gen Camaros) on the streets. 5th Gens just don't sell like other gens did because vehicle tastes and needs have changed. Sad time we live in today....
