Just wanted to show off my car!!

I just got my first car around Halloween! (even though I don't drive yet and I am almost 20!) I got a 1986 Chevy Camaro IROC Z. I love it. it has T-Tops and is in great shape. All it needs is a paint job!and 2 new tires. I found out that the tires are expensive though because the car only takes high performance tires!. I got a great deal for it. I paid $500. but I found out it was worth around $3000:eek: So I made out great! the kid just wanted to get rid of it.

Here is a picture of a camaro. Mine looks just like this one, just mine is red( I don't know what color I want it to be. Any suggestions?)

Also my brother had a 1980 Chevy Camaro. it looks so cool. It's all black!

don't feel bad, I'm 28 and a half!!!!!!

Camaros are so cool... my uncle upgraded his camaro every year... too bad they quit making them cause they are real pretty cars! When you paint your car... I think I would suggest silver cause it is my favorite... black is real pretty just a pain to keep clean... :)

Thanks Sara, I was also thinking silver or black Or maybe a deep blue or something. I don't know! I put the picture on my paint shop program and I was switch the color all around. I made in orange, lime green, purple (look kinda cool too) Rust, ect. I was having SO much fun. Maybe a little TOO much fun LOL

Yeah some blues are REAL pretty... my friend has a 96 eclipse and it is painted a metallic toy blue..... I LOVE IT!!! The metallic flakes do soooo much to a paint job...... but silver is still my fav!;)

My brother had the same car... and since that car, he has only owned mustangs...and will always own only mustangs :) He had that same SVO in black, also a 1969 fastback in the original grabber orange...unfortunately he got hit by a car and the car got totalled!! Now he has a 2002 red one...he definatly loved his SVO and plans to get an old (1969) mustang in the future to restore.

That's right sis... I didn't know you knew so much about my cars... heheh... Mom told me about this post, so I figured that I'd reply.

Tina, NICE CAR! I had an '84 SVO also. I bought it in pretty much mint condition with only 41,000 miles for $4,000! Only problem was that I had to dump $1000 into it a week later to fix the fuel system. The car had previously been garaged and in storage for 3 years and condensation rusted the inside of the gas tank. That, in turn, destroyed the whole fuel system. It needed a new gas tank, fuel level sender, fuel pump(s) (these cars have two) and fuel injectors. That car was a great car, but the only problem I really had with it was finding front shocks for it. If I remember right, they were Koni adjustable's or something? Kinda proprietary to the SVO. Anyway, mine was black also, with the charcoal cloth interior.

Well, I'm out now to change the oil on my 2K GT and the headlamps. I will post some pics of it when I'm done. It has had some stuff done to it. :cool:

Thankyou!! Our car has close to over 100,000 miles now. Since we drive it everyday. I love it. It is the best little car I've ever drove. And everyonce in awhile it gets to kick 5.0's butt's out on the streets.:D I think they do have Koni adjustable's not forsure have to ask my hubby. Can't wait to see pictures of your GT what year is it??

It's a 2000 GT, bought it in July of 2000 as a birthday present for myself. :p It is kinda getting dark now, so I'm not sure how well the pics will turn out. Maybe I'll take them tomorrow. I just wanted some updated pics because I just added a Mach 1 front spoiler and re-did the gauges for like the 6th time.

Ok, here's the exterior.

And the interior...

Nice car Windsor!!

I don't you wrong about the miles on our car it has close to 40,000 I was thinking about our truck when I told you 100,000 miles.
