I've also owned:

So who loves these cars more than me?! Cool

'85 Z28 - sold Sad

'94 SC - sold
'91 RS - blew the engine then parted out

I've had three now.

Two breifly ran while in my posession but had major mechanical failures. Tony swears that Black Z/28 hood I just sold was cursed. I don't believe in curses though. I think I just made some poor purchasing decisions...well maybe not the berlinetta...but I haven't really dug into that one yet

1984 SC--- paid $200...spent $500 on troubleshooting and various parts missing only to find it'd dropped a valve

1985 Z/28--paid $625 for it...have been paying out the A$$ in one way or another since

1986 Berlinetta...$50 for it...by far the best investment so far...interior's great, gauges work great, just need to finish the 5 speed swap and fire the motor to see how bad it the blowby on it really is.

I have had seven third gens.

-82 Z28 - my first Camaro back in 2000. Crossfire fuel injection and loaded with options it is the one I wish I had kept. Traded it for my current car.

- 86 IROC- The blue car I have now. Broke down on the way home from the car lot, now I know why they were willing to make me a great deal. Few $'s and a few hours work and I got most of that sorted out in the last 5 years.

- 83 Firebird SE- V6/5spd that I bought off a lot for $185 for all of the 5 spd stuff for my 86. Later found out the V6 stuff us the wrong way to go. While it ran it saw more dirt than pavement. Finally parted it out.

- 82 Camaro SC- A lady I worked with gave this to me to come and remove it from here yard. All I wound up with out of it was a good LG4 wiring harness and the 416 heads.

- 86 Camaro Z28- Made a deal with a guy that wanted the engine and rear end. I parted them out and got to keep the shell. Still have this one since the body is straight. It was a 5 spd car with almost no options.

- 89 Camaro RS- A couple days after Jen wrecked her Accord I made a smoking deal on this car. Fixxed a couple things and she drove it for a year. When I got done I sold it for $2500, I had originally paid $1200.

- 83 Trans Am - Bought this summer from Bartimus for a smoking deal. Instead of parting it out for the rear brake upgrade, Jen took a liking to it and it is currently getting the body work straightenned out.

Apparently if I buy a car for parts things don't go as planned and I end up getting very little I need out of them. Laughing
