  • just got my first car!!!!!!

    alright guys i i know most people on this website are all about speed and performance but my parents both decided im to young for the z 28 so we goy a lucky find and got a 1998 camaro with only about 7500 miles and yeah i said 7500 not 75000 . yeah i know what you are all thinking <they rolled the miles back but its the real deal just by looking at the interior or the engine or the bottom of the car you would believe it! the carfax was also clean . anyways tell me what you think.. 560868_3708848879069_721379050_n.jpg316842_3708850359106_1249418061_n.jpg377639_3708851999147_2028651733_n.jpgbtw i bought this car myself after working my ass off for the past 2 years on the family farm.

        Nice, and welcome to the site! My first car was also a v6 camaro, but with about 125k more miles haha. I saw your car on craigslist a few times before.

        I have my SS 6sp vert right now, and possibly going to look at a v6 camaro in the next couple days as a winter ride! The car I may look at is the same int/ext color, mileage, and price as my first v6 camaro, so it'll bring back some good ol' high school memories if I pick it up.

          Welcome! I just picked up a 98 NBM Camaro. I don't like it nearly as much as my IROC vert, but it should be a fun/different car when finished

                Ha! Or a nice LT1 car!

                Congratz on your new ride!

                As a fellow V6 owner, let me just suggest that you keep an eye on your oil for signs of coolant. The one weak spot of the 3.8 was the seals from the intake manifold to the block. With that low of mileage, your car has probably not had the gaskets replaced yet. Other than that, the V6 is pretty bulletproof.

                Enjoy. and welcome to MiFBody!

                  Welcome! It sure is nice to hear some kids are still working for things in life vs everything being handed to them.

                  I see an lsx swap in your future

                  Nice nbm!

                          Very nice car.
                          My first car was a 2002 Pontiac firebird w68 and I love that thing, I'm keeping it forever lol.
                          Bought at 18k miles now has 36k after 5 years.
                          I love the reliability of the 3.8 engines, as said before they are bulletproof.
                          Enjoy the new car.

                            Welcome to the site and congrats on the first ride! No foul with it being a v6 - my '94 was originally a v6 too. I left it as a v6 until I was out of high school and in college and it ended up being a great father son project when we swapped to the LT1. Anywho, feel free to jump into the threads - we're a real social group.
