Default Buying back my old drag car

I am buying back my old drag car because I just can't pass up the deal. I am going to race it and fix the small stuff that the current owner has damaged and sell it again. It is a 90' Camaro with a stock LS1. It is surprisingly quick for a stock motor. I am looking forward to some fun with the car and hurting feelings. Hope to see some of you guys out at the surrounding Houston area dragstrips.

Once I get my 3/4 ton fized, I'll be swapping a 5.3 in to my coupe and pulling the 6.0 out, I'll let you know when that happens and when I'm going to HMP.

If the weather allows I will be headed to Sealy.I may do HMP. The weather will probably get me but I can be hopeful.

I got her home. This may be short lived for I only bought the car to sell it again. Until it sells though, I will race the s#&@ out of it.

Hey! Just because it is a picture of two third gens doesn't mean I speak Spanish.

I haven't got a chance to clean the car up and closely inspect it yet. I also just got put on 12hr days for a while about 3hrs ago so I probably won't know for a while. It probably won't sell on this site anyway because it do plan to make some cash on the deal. I will post an add in both the Texas section and the vehicle classified.

The car has had many upgrades since then and I have my car collection complete now. I would sell it as a roller but it probably wouldn't be what you would consider a deal. I have seen some of the deals you have made on here in the past that you beat me to. I really don't want to waste your time or mine. If you are interested in the roller you can give me a call but I just got put on 12 hour days so it may take some doing. 979-four eight two-3965

Well, after a new transmission, drive shaft, brake repair and front tires I am headed for Baytown tomorrow for a bracket race. It has been a long sweaty road to get back to racing. I can't wait. I hope to see some ls1 folks out there.

Those are some good looking 3rd gens.
I had the exact same centerline saber wheels on my 89.
3rd Gen camaros are just begging for twins ls swap.

Thanks. I was looking at how to change some stuff in the floor boards to make routing of down pipes better. One day if this car does not sell, I will probably twin turbo it. I have a hard way too much on my plate as of now and **** just seems to be piling higher.

The foam in my fuel cell came apart and plugged my fuel filter ending my day. I got to make a few passes and damn it was fun.
