Son Of Camaro Comparo 

It is!

🤞I think it’s looking good. This guy is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned.

I wonder why that person thought to throw away that car.

@@Adrian-mq5ldrust

@@senditc20 a rusty 3rd gen here in Europe is 10k or more.

If I had to take a guess somebody had an ambitious project, got the engine and then ran into a problem and it sat. Then they had to get rid of it for some reason.

Dang it, I wish I could bring that RS home, looks like it has solid body and interior isn't all that bad.

Do you know him personally? Have you hung out with him? Have you had a BBQ with him?

@@moparwoman2355👎🏻Boo

@@moparwoman2355 I don't, but as another human being, I'm concerned about another person. Most of us here suspect he's dealing with a medical condition, and perhaps a serious one. Wouldn't you want a bit of compassion and concern if you were in that situation? I think that's the point of what most folks are saying here.

@@moparwoman2355Have you gone off your meds? Asking with compassion and concern.

​@@LyleMyersgo away bro

Being probably sold in New England it was common to see these with no AC. As the New England winters rotted these away more desirable models were better cared for. It was always funny to see these bombing around in the snow with a set of sand tread recaps on the back.

Hes still in the hospital and not doing well is what a friend of his told me, I'll talk to them next week and find out more

​@@coinslotsandjoysticks2572thank you for the update stay well keep us posted please.

Tell him we are hoping for a quick recovery.

@@coinslotsandjoysticks2572 Uncle Tony said the same thing. He isn't doing well. 🙏

@@mikeadie7031 yea. It sucks

They were good looking boulevard cruisers,I liked em style wise better than the C4 Vettes.

I’m guessing it was put in and it’s never run. Then the project was abandoned.

That is a SHAME! These cars could have been AWESOME! They had "THE LOOK" and could have been GREAT!

They were a dime a dozen back then. A kid bagging groceries could save some and buy used Camaro for 500 dollars.

It's something special,alright.😂

In Northern, Minnesota, the "look" of these was SOMEWHAT "revered"!@@BruceLee-xn3nn

It's quite mint look at that untouched interior!

I agree. That interior was clean.

Straight ahead!

Was it before or after 87. In 87 they fixed an issue with the crankshaft and I don't think I've seen people getting rodknock on 2.8s after that. Those engines are kinda known to be really reliable ,I wonder what do you mean you over revved it ,it shouldn't grenade on you like that.

@@Adrian-mq5ld it was an 86 and i revved it past 5k for way too long and afterwards it started knocking. I know about the 2.8 reliability and thats why i put another one in when i finally decided to fix it. However the car was never the same. Idk if the previous owner did some work to the original engine or the one i got was tired but ended up selling the car soon after

@@thecommodoredecker the later 2.8s were really strong and its possible you never tuned it right .If yours was an 86 and you got a later model its possible the ECM was the limit. I got a 88 black Firebird in Europe and here the damn thing is exotic asf. I can park it next to 400,000 euro cars and people still flock around the Firebird lol

@@Adrian-mq5ld thats awesome! Even here in the states they are becoming scarce and the 89 formula that i have now isnt that pretty people see me at a gas pump or stop sign and ask me about it. Its my summer daily and reliable as all hell! My plan is to do a "what if" build with it. "What if, Callaway did a run of formulas with the sledgehammer Corvette?" I already have the TPI setup and it works flawlessly i just need some aluminum heads and a turbo! I definitely need more but im being enthusiastic lol. But i bet yours being in Europe is one hell of a conversation starter! Thats why i love car people, they dont give a damn about your politics or whatever. They can come together and talk about their hobbies and learn stuff too! Heres to many more miles and smiles in your Pontiac over the pond!(kilometers in your instance lol)

@@Adrian-mq5ld your probably right about the tuning aspect. Even though i only used the long block i figured itd be fine and it mostly was but never had the same power as before

Morning

@@tomwesley7884 Good morning , Tom 👀☕️🍩😎👍 Enjoy your day !

Correct, all the RS Camaros 1989-92 came with the flat hood.

He's in jail.

I think he is dealing with a medical issue.

The coupe and rs never came factory with the louvered hood either.... Steve gets a lot wrong oddly enough...

@@sprsprtrudy He does but that's OK. He and I disagree on a "A letter is better" when it comes to Ford rear end codes and I've proven that to him as well as that Fisher trim tags do not always indicate if the vehicle is a six or eight cylinder (only the VIN does). That's OK, we are all human and that's why there's a comments section. When everyone contributes, every one learns. When everyone learns, everyone wins.

Me too😮

Why Pontiac?

@@LyleMyers Would you rather we send him lots of Toyota Matrixes?

@@huskobar4545 I’m just wondering what the connection is. This isn’t a Pontiac video, Steve’s a Mopar guy. Or???? Haha maybe there isn’t a connection at all here, you just wanted to make a Pontiac Vibe joke! Good one, and I’ll have that cup of coffee and try and wake up 🤣

A WS6 Trans Am from the 2nd gen is a good handler.

Nice, same year I ordered a blue 5.7 1LE/G92, had to wait a Month for it to be made at Van Nuys plant. I called the 5.0 the five point slow...

I own three of these thirdgens. (‘86 IROC, ‘89 Turbo Trans-Am and ‘89 GTA). Still need to get a convertible. I recently put a turbocharged 6.0 in my GTA and it really WOKE THAT CAR UP! It’s my road race car (Still more or less street legal, and will be going with me on 2024 Power Tour). Haven’t regretted that for a second!

Oh, also my twin sons wanted me to say; they each own a thirdgen of their own. One owns an ‘87 Firebird formula 350 and the other owns an extremely high option ‘88 IROC-Z. The IROC was a weird one, for sure. I bought it a decade ago as a parts car, with a blown motor, and then discovered all the unusual options (Like the ‘Twilight sentinel’ auto headlamp control) and decided to rebuild the motor and keep it. My kids grew up with their dad always working on his thirdgen F-bodies, and they were always helping. It was only natural that their first car was a thirdgen.

@@JasonMcCord-qk3yb Good to hear about kids learning how to fix things. Not so common anymore nowadays.

Yup. 1992 last year and 25th anniversary model.

I had a chance to buy a 25th Anniversary,l think l could have got,a pretty good as,well, hmmmm, maybe l should have bought it.
