This weekend, I was cleaning up my 3rd Gen and realized it was 11 years ago this month that I purchased that car. What a history that car and I have together.

I purchased the car as a salvage vehicle with 6,700 miles on it and was wrecked before I took ownership of the car.

Several trips to Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Mammoth, San Diego, and Sonoma to name a few.

My '92 has been through alot as seen below.

But it was repaired and brought back to life.

125,000 miles later, survived an Earthquake, a slipping tranmission, pealing paint and fading interior, It is still my daily driver.

This is a car I will miss so very much when
it comes time to let it go. But the memories will stay with me forever.

I am truely proud to be a 2 time Camaro owner.

Gosh!! That is SUCH a cool car!! Why would you ever let it go??? Is that the original color??

Nice car, nice history...congrats and thanks for sharing. [Smile]

Very very nice indeed. Why let it go? I have an 86 IROC along with my 02 Camaro SS LE and will keep them until I leave this planet. [Big Grin]

Great pics. [Cool]

Nice job fixing that wrecked Camaro. [Smile]

With the prices of new cars these days, why don't you consider a total restoration and driving it for another 125,000 miles?

I wish I had done that with some of my older cars as well instead of getting rid of them. And since you can buy just about every part you need for a 3rd gen resto these days, restoration is a definite option.

I agree - just throw some $$$ into the car and it will be new again... thinking of doing this for my 78 Grand LeMans... [Big Grin]

Looks good, you should keep it alive. Gotta love thirdgens. [Big Grin]

I wish I had kept at least one of my 3rd gens. I bought 3 of them new and all 3 were special order cars and rare, but I traded them each time for a newer one. I love the power and handleing of my SS but of the 12 camaros I have owned I liked my 89 Iroc the best of all and my 92 anniversary package 350 1LE one of 2 built. Oh well why wish for something already done and gone but you can keep yours
