What are the chances of this? I used to own a 68Camaro that we street raced back in the late 80's early 90's. The car at that time had a 406cu nitrous motor. We had a lot of fun with it but the street racing scene here in Ft Lauderdale got too crazy with cops impounding cars and arrests.Anyway i sell the car in 1994 and lose track of who owned it.I had heard that a guy bought it that lived in FtLaud but I never saw it. So i'm out sunday driving yesterday in my 06Z06 and i see this 68Camaro with these "huge" tires on the back of it.I get up next to the guy and he asks me if i want to run and of course i said hell yes and preceeds to put about 2car lengths on my Z06 after 1st and 2nd gear. So now I'm pissed and no i didn't miss a shift.I stop him to congratulate him on my first good *** wuppen.Low and behold its my old car with a 572cu mountain motor putting down over 650hp to the wheels on motor. Nice Guy has owned it for about 5 years and doesn't take it out on the street that often. So i'm still mad about the *** wippen but not quite as mad as before.......................

Atleast your old car was taken car of.. I had a 1984 Z28 that I sold to a friend. A few years later I saw the car and wanted to cry. It looked like he never washed or waxed it.. Blowing smoke out the exhaust.. It was it really sad shape.

That's pretty cool.
I remember when I sold my GSR the guy sent me a pic of it the next week and it was slammed way too low with ugly flat-gunmetal wheels on it.

But still "was" a nice car. Hehe it was my 1st V8. 
My 86 IROC is TPI. Hopefully soon will be sporting an LS1 instead.

Yeah my 305cu had the Quadrajet also. I almost went for the "cross fire injection" model. I'm glad i didn't My 87 was also an IROC with the TPI motor. I put a H/C package on the car from SLP which was the only game in town at that time. It took months before i could find someone to tune the car so it wouldn't stall out at idle. it was pretty fast. I had alot of fun with it until someone ripped it on news years eve!. they found it in Opa Locka Fla a couple of weeks later. I got what insurance money i could and bought the 68camaro. funny......... The 86 IROC will be a really cool car with the LS1 motor in it.

Yeah he may be in the 9's. i should have asked him. All i know is that he jumped out on me pretty good. It was like "holy ****" i just got jumped 2 f###ing car lengths in my 480rwhp Z06. That has never happened. Maybe i shouldn't be so cocky right...........

cool,, my old K5 blazer was like a diamond and the guy who bought it really screwed it.. i had this 8 layers of Dark Pearl Green and changed it into BLACK.. i mean come'on black is cool but that color i spent 1 month doin it by my hands,, i got really pissed when i see it.. shame.
LOL, my second vehicle was a '97 Hardtop SS M6 with the LT4 conversion and a bunch of bolt-ons. It was my frist stick and I was 17. I owned it for 30 days before putting it in a ditch at 35mph and somehow totaling it. I've never seen the previous owner, thankfully...
