Welcome aboard thats a sweet car Oliver, i have to agree with Socalman though i like the old rims better. BTW try and put your pics under each other when pasting them

DK has a 79 (rubber nose) but at least he'll have some sort of idea lol.

 

Socalman said he likes the Vette wheels better. The Vette wheels are the black ones lol

 

I didn't even notice the engine pic, lol. Can I get a close up of how the heater hoses are attached to the core? I seen ANs on the intake, just wondering how it attaches to the core its self.

 

Great looking car Camaros Kill! Loving the wheels, they look familiar to me.

 

Here´s my 2´nd generation Camaro.
A 1971 SS396, not matching numbers but I don´t care, the engine is a 408 (402) pumping out 492 hp´s at 6000 rpms.

The paintwork and the interior was done in 1981-82 wich may be obvious by looking at the style...

 

what kind of pipes are those coming out the back?

 

Those are supertrapps. Man that car was probably the baddest dog on the block in '82. Its like a time machine. That interior has held up well. You should send some pics to Hot Rod, they have been doing a ton of articles about cars from the early 80s and what happened to them. That thing would fit right in.

 

Thanks, thats why i bought em!
haha thanks. When i was still in the market for wheels i was split between those and the c5 z06 with a polished lip.
Lol its already been said, but Socalman actually liked the z06 wheels better, but thanks for the pic posting tip!

It has AN fittings on the other side as well. Looks like male AN on the steel braided end going into the 2 heater core tubes that are angled up under the hood.

Thanks! Ur car looks sick! One day im gonna have a 4th gen all blacked out to match my '71 lol

 

Hmm I wonder if they soldered the female thread to the tubing. Or maybe a compression fitting. Thanks you for the pics. I will get mine done some how but having something to look at is alot easier.

 

Hot Rod, is that Hot Rod Magazine or what? What site can I use to get in touch with them?

The car was not used from the day it was finished, in 1982 at the paintshop and the upholstery shop, till the year of 2006 so there´s the reason to the good shape of the interor.

The reason to that was that the car was imported as junk, without engine and gearbox, to be completed later.

The big headache when the car stood in the shops was that the regulations was changed so a car imorted as junk was, from the authorities standpoint, so the owner was left with this car in great shape but he could not get it clear for using, what a shame for him, I imagine.

The car stood in his workshop for daily business, he was restoring second hand fork lifters, repaintinted and maintained.

The car in a corner getting getting more dirty every day, month and year.
The owner could not sell it as he had put a lot of money but he could never use it either...

Next owner bought the car in the year of 2000 nut also he failed to get a valid registration accepted and the car stood for years again.

In the year of 2004 the guy I bought the car from became the next owner and he succeeded to get the papers in order to get the licence plate request approved and after about 23 years whithout being used it finally
saw the road the legal way.

Any links to the where to find the Hot Rod search for cars from the eighties?
