My name is James Newcomb and I've owned this car for 3 and a half years. when i bought this car it was all original minus the paint. Now it sports a reupholstered interior, its second paint job which includes 4 coats of clear, 4 coats of metal flake, and custom flames that were done about 98% freehand, new-ish wheels/tires and retains the healthy factory 5.0 motor. stock transmission and rear as well. ive spent countless amounts of dollars to get this car where it is today and spending countless more in the future! So far this year it's brought 2 trophies from 2 different shows that i've entered in. 1 with the 1 year old paint, 1 with the new paint lol. thanks for lookin.

1989 Camaro IROC-Z
350ci

I bought this car from a friend as a total wreck back in 2003 when I was a senior in HS. I was currently working at an auto body shop and spent many nights and weekends fixing the driver side suspension as well as prepping the whole car for a repaint. The car was daily driven for about 3 years and is now a garage king. The car is basically a full bolt-on car. It has new factory L98 heads, AC/smog/delete, Hooker Super Comp long tube headers, mufflex ORY, 3" magnaflow cat-back, 3.42 posi 10 bolt rear, 17x9 Miglia wheels, fiberglass SS hood, and 4th gen charcoal/gray cloth seats. I recently finished the suspension rebuild including bigger sway bars, poly bushings, new steering components, and an eibach pro-kit. I still have to finish the 91-92 GFX swap and possibly a Hawk's 5" spoiler and then the car will be where I want it as far as appearance goes. I also have future plans for a 400 small block and a T56.

1986 Pontiac Trans AM

I bought the car as my first car in 2000 from an elderly woman down the road. Despite how that sounds the car had a really rough life, by the time i bought it, it was a shadow of its former self. Now 8 years later its almost completely rebuilt sporting a 500 horse, fully forged 408ci stroker motor, tk600 5 speed, 3.5" aluminum driveshaft and 9" Ford rear. Power gets to the ground via BFG rubber 335/30/18 in the rear and 245/40/18 in the front, and is stopped by c5 vette brakes up front and ls1 discs on the rear. It rides on coil-overs front and rear, and UMI/Spohn suspension parts hold it all together. I still working on the interior and hope to have it finished soon. Future plans include wider front wheels, 8pt cage, some engine work and a new exhaust.

2002 Camaro SS #5290

I bought this car at Tom Oates Chevrolet in Chester Springs, PA in November 2004 with 11,000 miles on it. The car is everything I was looking for. Black SS, M6, power everything, low mileage, t-tops, black leather, and un-molested. Since purchasing the car I have added a set of 18" C5 Z06 wheels, SLP SFC's, SLP STB, SLP Lid, & TR Ported TB. This winter I added UMI Suspension Components consisting of Torque Arm, TA relocation kit, Panhard Bar, and Lower Control Arms. Recently installed were QTP longtubes and the Bassani True Dual Exhaust System. Future plans include a Heads & Cam Setup, and Slso lowering the Car with Strano Springs and Koni Shocks. I've had a blast with this car, and hope to keep it for many years to come.

Just looking at the windshield you can tell the car was never driven in the rain there are no marks from wipers being used. I have always loved and wanted a LS1 Trans am or even a LS1 Camaro. I have plans for the car that will later come down the road. Since friday i have put 800 miles on the car. Taken a bunch of pics of it. I havent slept much lately I wake up early in the morning and clean the car. Its amazing finally having a 4th Gen. pic was taking with my cell phone i dont have my digital camera at this time.

1987 Trans Am
I bought this car about 4 years ago at the dealership I work for. It has a stock 305 under the hood with Flowtech headers and a 3" Flowmaster exhaust. I rebuilt the front suspension last summer with all new poly bushings, Spohn wonder bar, Hotchkis SFC's and new shocks. In the next few weeks I hope to get started on the rear suspension, swapping out the current rear for a posi with disc brakes and a different torque converter.

Vinnie Spatola
1999 Camaro Z28
I am 17 years old and am lucky enough to have an LS1 Camaro as my first car. I got a part time job last year and worked my ass off to pick this Z up in January. I grew up with my dad owning performance cars and he had two 4th gens(95 T/A and a 00 T/A). He became paralyzed at the beginning of last year and with that went his 00 T/A. I missed the 00 T/A and knew I needed to get into one when I started driving, so in a way, I'm following in my father's footsteps since he can no longer own a sweet f-body. Since January, I have made this car pretty much a full bolt on car; from an SLP lid, LS6 Intake Manifold, Hooker Headers, TSP Catted Y, Magnaflow catback, MSD wires, NGK TR55's, Hurst Billet Plus shifter, and some stereo work. I have put a lot of money into the car, and I think it shows it.

1967 Camaro
Damon Osborne

This Plain-Jane 1967 Camaro was originally a blue on blue car with very few options besides the 327 and Powerglide. It now has a mild 350 with a 200-4R overdrive transmission, power steering from a WS6 Trans Am, and power front disk brakes. The body has been restored with new sheetmetal and finished with a bright red/gold metallic paint. The interior is now black. Although the car was once restored, when I bought it, it had been neglected for a long time. Over the last year, the mechanical systems have been restored, and the car is now a fun driver that loves freeway speeds. My wife and I reguarly take it on trips and it even manages 20+ MPG! Not bad for a carbureted V8!

what the heck... lol...

My car is a 2001 Camaro SS. I bought it in August of 2001 and it was stock for the most part Up until August 2005 at which time the motor went. As of now the car currently has a '03 ZO6 crate engine with an aftermarket camshaft and upgraded valvetrain. Fueling is aided by a ported TB and larger injectors. Theres also a TSP airlid and QTP LT headers leading into an ORY and magnaflow catback. Suspension consists on UMI 3 point subframes, Spohn adjustable chassis mounted TQ arm, adj. tubular rear control arms with spherical rod ends, adj. panhard bar, BMR lca relocation brackets, Intrax front lowering springs. It still has the stock 3.42 size gearing, just by means of a 3rd rear axle since new. Chassis stiffness is also helped by a Wolfe 6 point roll cage. Appearence wise, the car has HIDs, and export taillights along with the european rear bumper.
There currently is no stereo or sound system anymore in this car. I also have a Procharger setup ready to be installed any day now.

2002 trans am ws6

I bought the car December 26th 2006 as a Christmas present to myself. It was bought from a dealer in Pa who got it as a trade in from an older gentleman who had a stroke (I only found this out because the car was missing the owners manual and extra keys so I contacted him personally). Current mods include a few bolt ons such as a lid, exhaust sway bars, etc. Future mods include lowering, tint, a 3400 stall, and possibly a cam and 12 bolt for next year. This picture was taken by Alex.

[CHRIS67]

I'm Chris and I purchased my 67 Camaro about two years ago and have been going through the car undoing all of "short cuts" previously limiting the ride and performance. Having recently undergone body work there wasn't much to do there, but the previous owners rebuilt 327 engine needed some attention. The 327 has a Edelbrock performer manifold with a 650 CFM Holly an a high duration cam. The engine was professionally tuned at Woody's Creative Automotive in Bangor PA and also added some Headman headers going through a Magnaflow 2.5" exhaust. The car has a Hotchkis total vehicle suspension that lowered the car roughly 2" in the front and 5" from the Hi-jackers that were previously in the rear. I have also added Scat racing seats with custom frame rails that lower the seat further to help hold me behind the wheel when having some fun with the new suspension.

SWEETBMXRIDER FTW out of the 4th gens.
Ted FTW out of the 3rd gens.

[79CamaroDiva]

I also want to let everyone know, that when cropping your photos, if you want it to be considered for a CALENDAR submission later this year, leave room around the car on the sides of the picture. The aspect ratio from the calendar is much different than the regular 3:2 that most cameras are.

An example, SteveOnes is close, but even that might be a little bit tight.
