Newby from New Mexico Hi all,
My name is Nick & I am new to the late model cars as I have always owned 1st generation Camaros. Currently own 3, a 69 Z/28 85000 original miles all #'s match, 69 Camaro SS 350 Clone I have been using as a daily driver for the past 3 years and a 68 SS/RS 396 owned this car since 1980.
Anyhow I am looking for a clean 98-02 Camaro must be a 6 speed so I can replace my driver 69. I am a member of the SouthWest F Body Assoc. which is mostly late model Camaros & Firebirds and it has really opened my eyes to how nice these late model cars really are.
I am sure once I can find the rite car I will have a ton of questions for you all.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
yes that was me. You are in Silver city right. did you ever do the Big Block 4-speed swap??
You made the step to 4thgens, you can't look back now! 
You need to get one of your cars ready for track season!
BTW, I'm causually looking for another 4thgen. You might have some competition here in town...
Did you see the Firehawk for sale on our other site?

Hi Greg,
You too huh.. I saw the Firehawk add posted but I'm looking for a Camaro. I guess I have been a Loyal Bowtie fan too long to switch now LOL... I did see a 99 Z28 convertable in the paper today for 9900.00. I called the guy and he was kind of a jerk on the phone so I dont know if I will even go look.
There seems to bee a lot of nice cars on this website 4 sale but they are to far away to justify the cost. I will keep looking, and in the mean time I will fix the old blue 69 and be ready for next time

to get my 98 Z28.Wow!! You did a super nice job on the old '72. I am really glad to see it was resored
How do you like your 4th gen after having the '72? I have been driving that Blue '69 in the picture I posted evry day since I sold that '72. I really love the old cars but with Super unleaded above 3.00 and the 8 mpg i am getting I think its time for a change. i keep hoping I will find a clean LS1 car fairly close that hasnt been run ito the ground.
