Wow, that was an old pic of my car a long time ago in the list of HOSS's. Here's a few pics of my car when I tracked it from birth and went to the rail yard to see it come off the train, I technically wasn't supposed to be there, but the gaurd just waived me in and went and found the yail car. This was when they had a shortage of chrome SS wheels, I got all the options, but they delivered the car with the silver SS wheels and the chrome came later to the dealer. Keep in mind I was 18 years old at the time, pardon my style













Here's some when it was lightly modded, just a few things done to it....











And here it is today, I need new pics, really I do ....

You have no idea, I ordered the car in Sept '98, and I took delivery Feb '99, so I was checking it's birth the whole way, when it was built, when it left the plant to go to SLP, when it left there, etc, etc. When I saw it was on the train I just kept checking the BNSF website with the rail car number and when it came into town I went down, got SOOOO lucky they were unloading my car when I got there.

Here's my charity case.

Sorry for the large pics, I can't seem to find a working thumb tag.





I'm on a set of TTII's right now but no pics of them.

Scott, those pics of it coming off the train are awesome! I saved them, those would be cool to look at 20 yrs from now to see how they were delivered.

I didn't realize you were the original owner, that is pretty cool. I think I liked your car better with the chrome SS wheels though, such a classic look. Orange turn signal lenses looked better too, since the car is orange

It was cool, trust me, I was happier than hell just being in the rail yard, there were a TON of cars there, a whole area of Camaro SS's. When I saw my car come off my heart was beating sooooo fast, just to hear it come down the ramp and get parked, then I went to verify the vin number and it was the one, smelling the brand new interior, sitting in my seat, taking it all in, and finally being with the car after waiting sooo long to get it, checking the status of it all the time, waiting for it to be done and delivered since there was a hold up because of the weather and Christmas holiday it went through.

I even started it up since they leave the keys in the enginition, just hearing the motor and seeing the 5 miles it had on the odometer was breath taking! Now it has 105,xxx miles and I still love it, it's been through a lot of changes but it still turns heads where ever it goes

Thanks Tony, yeah I plan to keep it forever, being the original owner is something I take pride in and knowing I did every mod to it myself. Man, when it just had the chrome rims and no black outs anywhere it was like a virgin, just soooo clean, not a scratch on it, quiet, slow but a blast to drive.

I always wished they made a 18" ZR1 since I LOVE those wheels, just a 17" wheel is too small now after owning 18's. A 18x11 would be amazing Who knows what the next 100k miles will bring, maybe the car will see the "retro" look it had in those pics, who knows All I know is it WILL get a new white leather interior, man the GM leather doesn't hold up and really makes the car look like a POS
