I've always dug the idea of a 3rd Gen with an LSX/T-56 swap. I like the 90 Iroc's, and 91-92 Z28's. Killer looking cars IMO when they're kept up. Unfortunately most of them aren't.

I had a 92 Z28, and also built up another 92 for a friend who's in prison right now back in 99. The 350 TPI motor is a TORQUE MONSTER. Cool little motors for their time.

I miss my 92 as well. I cut the springs one coil, and put new shocks on that thing. It handled better than any of the three 4th gens I had.

I don't want to relive all the 5.0 taillights I saw from my 350 IROC...

Thought we had the car sold for the asking price. Everything looked to be a go, but ol' boy went MIA.

Currently listed on racingjunk.com. Not in a real big hurry. It'll sell eventually.

Josh is right. It's a sweet car..... but it's done. Can't see cutting on it to get it where I'd like it to be. Always wanted a chassis/BBC/big tire street car.

Ron is almost accurate, but am trying to stay with the 4th gen. body. Everyone knows Ronny is my hero, and just want something more along the lines of lil' red hope

Here's what I'm looking at. Seller is not in a hurry either, and will hold as long as it takes. It was built to be a big balled street/show car, and was actually very well done.

540" pump gas friendly 10200"(tall deck)Merlin/ dry sump BBC doing 790 FWHP on a soft tune.
Brodix 3x heads.
Motor plate.
Fuel injection motor.
Front mount distributor/MSD 6AL
Big fuel system/12 gal. fuel cell
Manual TH400/3600 converter.
Narrowed 9"/4:10 gear.
Strut car.
Fully adj. suspension.
8.50 cert. chassis @ 2800lbs.

No N2o on the car ever, but will sport a big wet kiss (or two ) when this happens.

At least I'm not moving over to the dark side guys..... still staying w/GM..... just time for something different-

Everyone knows Ronny is my hero
Thats no ****. Never seen an old man idolize somebody who could be his son as much as you do


BTW, try other venues other than Craigslist. That blue T/A I had for a while...Couldn't get a bite on craigslist. Put it in the trader, and sold it 1 week later.

LOL@ the Spartan.

Ron's a good boy. Have watched him grow up to do well. Not sure idolize is the word but, yeah.... there's a little Fatherly type pride workin' there.

Don't let it bother you.

Ad is on RJ, CL and AT.

Thanx for the help ********-

Really, where? I haven't seen it advertised and I'm on RJ, Yellow bullet, the Orsca boards as well as a few others nearly every night?

Thanx for the props.

Like I said, it'll be tuff to watch her go but change is good-
