They stopped using the 8L90 just 5 years ago and it’s already a struggle to find some parts….that sure as heck isn’t going to get better in another 5 years.

Yup. Here we go, we will all soon be owners of a 'collector car.'

35 years ago ,I met a guy from Switzerland, his in-laws lived in the Seattle area, I had a 350 Chev SB for sale , I was building a new 350 Drag Race motor, the Car Seen is or was big in your Country . He came an purchased parts all the time he said , and shipped in Ocean containers, I crated the motor and took it to the shipping Company on the Seattle waterfront he was dealing with. Fast forward 3 years , I was at Portland Oregon International Raceway for the annual Portland Automotive Swap Meet . I was taking a break sitting on one of the Road Race turns , this guy was walking up to me , asked what time it was (small world ) it was the guy from Switzerland, we talked for quite some time . I still remember his name Shevn Hoffsett (spelling maybe off ) why I remember his name I don't know.
Hope you don't mind me telling you this . Again glad I could find the part for you .

Thank you so much again! It was so nice of you, calling around for a fellow ZL1 enthusiast.
That is a cool story. Small world!
The car scene is shrinking here in Switzerland, because they really make it diffucult for you to drive a modified car. They are also pushig E vehicles more and more. But I will stick to my V8's as long as possible! Lol
Best regards Swisstyphoon

You hold the line there, Swisstyphoon

BTW the situation is similar in Hungary where I'm originally from, I simply could not register my car as it stands now, that is, if I wanted to and followed the letter of the law.

Hey,

I have exactly the same issue like swisstyphoon had. Would you please able to help the Camaro community in Europe once more?

I am located in Ukraine, so getting Camaro parts here is even more difficult than in Switzerland.

Ask the 5th gen Z/28 owners how that's working out for them. That's why I had to sell mine and upgrade to a ZLE.

No. Parts. Support.
