What is the List?

The 3rd Generation list is a collection of 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird owners that have subscribed to one of the many e-mail lists hosted by www.f-body.org

The goal of this list is to provide a convenient cross-reference to subscribers. Since we all have at least two common interests (our F-body cars and the internet) I thought this would be a handy way to check out other subscriber's rides.

How do I get my 3rd gen. listed here?

To be listed here, you have to do two things:

First, you MUST be a member of at least one of the www.f-body.org e-mail lists. I'm not being "elitist" here, but the purpose of this list is to aid members of the mailing list. This is not a commercial venture, I maintain this list for my own amusement and as a public service to others. If you belong to the Classic List or regional/special lists, that counts too. Subscribing to a news groups like "rec.autos.camarofirebird" does not count.

Second, you E-mail me with at least the following:

Your REAL name
E-mail address
Year, Make, Model (RS, Z28, IROC, GTA, Formula, Trans Am) and Color of your car
Include a list of modifications to your car through the use of The Legend or use other cars as a guide!
If you have a web page that show's your car, then by all means include it so others can see what you have done!

The Legend:

Example Option Codes - Description
M5 - Manual transmission
A - Auto transmission (also A4, A3)
T - T-tops
Conv - Convertible
1LE / WS6 - Factory suspension/handling packages
3.xx - Gear ratio (such as 2.73, 3.42, 4.10)
xx:xcr - altered compression ratio (such as 12:1cr)
bd - body modifications
ex - exhaust modifications
in - some type of intake modification
ig - ignition modifications
cp - Aftermarket PROM chip or Power Programmer modification
tb - throttle body replacement
th - 160 degree thermostat
af - throttle body airfoil
rr - roller rockers
pp - underdrive pulley replacement
lth - leather
int - interior upgrades

hds - new heads

whl - new wheels
shf - new shifter
lsd - Limited Slip differential
CD - CD player
SC - Supercharger
AO - all options (T-tops/CD are listed separately if you have them)

Why can't I subscribe to the E-Mail list?

If you read the instructions/FAQ on www.f-body.org then you should have caught the notice that some domains (like AOL and Juno) have been banned by Rob Glover for technical reasons. I can't do anything about that. I can suggest a polite e-mail to Rob requesting a subscription to the digest version of the e-mail list. You can also raise hell with your internet provider asking that they solve the technical problem in the first place! There is a lot of e-mail traffic on the lists, and it will overrun the limits imposed by your provider if you don't retrieve your mail EVERY DAY.

When will I see my car listed?

Usually within 7 days of sending me an E-mail with all the required information, I will add your entry to the list.

How do I get a web page for my car?

I don't provide web space for anything other than my own info and the list pages. If your internet provide does not supply you with web space (or changes you for it) may I suggest checking out www.geocities.com as an alternative. They give away a limited amount of web space for personal pages, including a dedicated area for automotive pages. As you can see by the list, many subscribers have availed themselves of this service.

Will I get bombarded with SPAM mail?

I sincerely hope not. The information you give me will be posted in the list and nothing else. However, cyberspace is difficult to control and populated with "marketing" types. I will not give the database away or sell it to anyone, but it is free to anyone to look at and use.

Technical Stuff and Thanks

The list itself is written by yours truly (well with a execellant start from Curt Martin). Thanks to Rob Glover for aid in setting up the 3rd Generation Owners List.
