[Dirteatr717]

I brought her home yesterday and I can't even drive her yet :fs1:Its an 88 Iroc and It has 70k on the motor(350 tpi) and the tranny is shot... theres no 3rd gear, I'm assuming the previous owner missed a gear :shake: ? and theres also no clutch but everything else is pretty much solid I think ill name her Roxanne

and both of my babies :banana:

I've always kinda wanted a third gen camaro. I found a great looking one in town, but it was automatic and they wanted $7k.

[DJM/78]

What are the plans for that thing ? Fix it or swap it ?

[jimoshel]

3rd gear? Do they still use those things? Nice lookin car.

[kyleag89]

Man I miss my third gen.. 91 RS that I built.. Dropped 1.5" 350 TBI edelbrock TI Tech coated headers, 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust, 2700 stall with a B@M shift kit.

Ahhh! A turd gen! I've never really liked 'em. God luck with the build.

 

Is it true that the 3rd gen floor pans rot away just like the MJs?

[kyleag89]

I have owned 5 THIRD gens and the floors weren't bad at all. I had one car that had a small surface rust spot under the drivers seat.

[GreenF350]

Always good to have a "go fast" toy too. Looks like you didn't do bad...... Pro stars, drag radials, ( I'm guessing NT555's?) etc. I'm far from a chevy guy, but have a friend who's dropping a built LS1 in a 3rd gen, so I'm around them quite a bit.

:thumbsup:

score! thats one of my dream cars right there. almost bought two (one was parts) but had to buy a jeep instead. besides i already have a 5spd 97 maxima thats my pavement pounder

[MCF90]

I think one of the prerequisites to owning that era Camaro is, you must have a mullet. Just teasing, nice looking Camaro!

i like it, i'm finding myself drawn to the cars that were outcast in the late 90's or there abouts.

[jeepdoggydogB]

Great find! When I first met my wife she had a third generation Camaro with an air intake door that opened on full throttle, we got in a lot of trouble because she liked to put the pedal to the metal just to see that darn door open up :doh:

[WahooSteeler]

i had a late 86 IROC (after they changed the trans over to a Getrag from GM), 305 4BBL , 5 spd, t-tops..........and it had 5 mudflaps. 4 on the car and 1 on the back of my head! :brows: One thing is fo sho, the ladies loved that car. So did I!

 

Did 110mph going through the I-64 Hampton Tunnel about 1am one night. The tunnel lights were flashing by so fast it looked like Luke Skywalker when he hit light speed LOL. There were four of us in the car and when I grabbed third heading in to the tunnel everybody just got quiet. I was staring straight ahead when the guy in the passenger seat calmly says "triple digits". About 5 seconds later a guy in the back says, "hey Jones, do you think someone is monitoring those cameras on the wall this time of night?". As I approached the end of the tunnel I thought for sure Buford T. Justice was going to be waiting for me. Fortunately he wasn't. Oh, and my college roommate was beside me in his 85 Mustang GT the whole time.

sweet car. :bowdown:

 

we still have my dad's 83 Z HO and it'll likely stay in the family forever. :D

[kyleag89]

Well there are 2 requirements you have to obey while driving the third gen..

 

1- Must have a clean wife beater shirt on.

2- Must play loud rock music from the 80s and no rap.

[Pete M]

and I'm to assume I can only use the minivan to pick up groceries and transport kids to soccer?

[kastein]

The proper use of a minivan is emergency shelter when it starts raining at the junkyard :dunno:

 

(the row of old chrysler/plymouth minivans at my local you-pull-it is right next to the row of XJs/MJs, and they stay dryer inside even with missing doors)

[Darren]

Well there are 2 requirements you have to obey while driving the third gen..

 

1- Must have a dirty wife beater shirt on.

2- Must play loud Whitesnake

3- Mullet.

 

 

I fixed it for you.

When I went to tech school, we had "Hot rod U". Basically, it was a huge shop full of cars to play with... Ricers, small domestics, and in the fleet, one 3rd gen Z-28 Camaro, fully decked out. Guess which one my group picked... :brows: The Z. We did some head work, aftermarket throttle body, and some exhaust... But the best part was that for every dyno run, you had to dawn the mullet wig hanging from the rear view mirror. :clapping:

DING DING DING right on the money with the tires(275 wide) and a think a 350 is just fine in that engine bay, Ls1s are pretty cool 8)

By the way that crap in the street was there before I drove it up the block :ack:

Thought they looked familiar, I just bought a new set (same size and all) for my drag lites. Ive had good luck in the past w/ them, just don't expect too long out of them. Gotta love those t-5's too, 3rd gear is always 1st to check out. Keep us updated, most of us are car guys too. :yes:
