Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I have seen a few more thirdgens in the last few weeks. Seems like I've seen a lot more lately than I had in the last couple of years. I saw a black Camaro twice on Moorpark road in Thousand Oaks last week. Also saw a red Camaro convertible at the intersection of Westlake Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd with a blonde lady driving it. Then I saw the car in the photo below on Pierce Arrow crossing Thousand Oaks Blvd last weekend. This one, I was actually able to get a photo.

I stayed at a La Quinta hotel in Meridian MS a few weeks ago. I was stunned when I looked out the front window and say an old service station across the street with at least 5 third gens plus a bunch of fox bodies. I'm from the rusty north; these cars looked clean.

Spotted a 305 formula, it looked clean but had some damage on the right front bumper. No idea why it had a tie strap on the rear deck lid unless the lock mechanism is broken for the hatch.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
This one popped up a few miles from my house in rural eastern Maryland. Never seen it around before. California plates? Sticker is from 2014.
1987 GTA. Still has the original window sticker. 5.7 car with paddle mirrors. Certainly not a $6500 car, but a decent survivor. Busted front bumper and tail light, and a clearcoat starting to peel. Windows are so dark, could not see much inside. Aftermarket radio is about all I could make out. Unknown mileage.

10 minutes from my house. Has digital dash. I left a note if they wanted to sell but no word yet. I really want to rescue this poor car.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I agree. Car looks to be pretty straight maybe that rust is mainly surface and can be handled. Id be on it too if I saw it parked up. Id love to see you bring it back to life! Sad thing is lots of times these people almost get mad when you ask them about these cars and claim they are going to fix them "one day". I cant tell you how many ive seen sit right there and rot down.

Found this while out on a walk. '88 with a full 4th gen interior and LS1/t56 swap out if a '02 Camaro. The $15k price seems a little steep though.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
It wasn't so long ago those ROH rims were extremely popular with the 3rd gen crowd. I dare say they still are. Probably quite a few members on this board still run them I would say.

Technically not a real parking lot but saw this on the show Junkyard Empire on Velocity. Red third gen hidden in the top right corner.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
[QUOTE=Out-Cast;6150417]My Buddy was cruising through an area and spotted this IROC in between 2 Houses. I am away working until the 20th and will be stopping by to see if it's for sale.
He says it looks Pretty decent and looks to have been sitting for a while.
A Pity Seeing It Sitting There With The Trash.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
My wife and me had lunch at a local restaurant. I was surprised to see this '86 IROC in the parking lot as I pulled in. Owners were an older couple, possible original owner?
When I was looking at the pic this morning, I noticed the derelict brick building in the background. That's the old Chevrolet dealer in Federalsburg, MD. From the days when every town had a Chevy dealer. I bought my second Camaro (used) from this dealer back in 1992. It closed/relocated a few years later. The fenced area that the front of my car is facing in the top picture, used to be their inventory area. The years have not been kind. Here's what it looked like on February 1 1992, the day I bought my '87:

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
This is parked near Big 3 Racing in Hinckley.
Also, when taking my younger son to his girlfriend's house in Independence, there is a blue '89 (?) RS forsale on her street.
There seems to be quite a few thirdgens in the western/southwestern suburbs of Cleveland. Funny how when you start looking for a certain type of car, they pop up everywhere.
