You just wanted us to know that you park on your lawn like a true thirdgen owner.

Well, to be fair your driveway is tiny.

Alphius · Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 7:05 am Post subject:

I just want to be completely honest and say that the reason every single one of my cars is parked on the lawn is because I have a friend coming over today to work on his Honda in the carport. Laughing

That being said, this is where this new car will live for a while until I can get a new transmission in it.

But it does run and drive for now.

It even likes the street!

Uh oh, do we spy a little problem yet?

Yes, yes we do. At least it says "Formula 350"

But really, who cares when you have such a fine machine?

With such... fine... clearcoat... Evil or Very Mad

But then again... TPI 350.

I saved the best part for last... Taz floormats! Oh, and a stupid dang 5-speed that hates me and hates its own gears. Have you ever tried launching a 2.77 9-bolt car in second? It is not my definition of "fun".

But hey, it's still decent.

The IROC's elder brother approves.

Lol sideswipe.

'88 or '89?

Alphius · Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 7:37 am Post subject:

It is a model year '89 with a build date of 10/88. Exactly one year older than me.

A real IROC pro would have noticed that the rear belts are shoulder belts. Hence, 1989. Razz

Looks to be in average to decent shape for an 89.

Did they convert the inside of the door to the correct camaro parts?

Alphius · Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 11:56 am Post subject:

Yes, the door has all the correct original Camaro parts and the ground effect was attached properly to the door. It is all straight where the fender and door were replaced and the pins are in great shape.

It is in average driver shape I would say. It seems to have been decently maintained but very little in the way of cosmetic improvement was done over the years as things started wearing out.

At what point in its life did it receive the T5? With those 2.77's is this going to be your salt flat project car?? Lol
