Yeah, I’m speaking out asking a victim myself.😎
I believe Pontiac ran into too many problems with their 400 once they added all the pollution controls onto it. They switched to the Olds 403 which didn’t have the same issues.
Love’d ‘em
Same with the Mustang, Trans-Am, all the 1960s-70s-even some 80s - many brands
Those were truly great days
“Huge doors that sagged.”
Watching Rockford File, it crossed my mind how long those doors are, how close together those hinges are. Also the wheels and tires were big. Lotta unsprung weight.
Camaros still exist? I can’t remember the last time I saw one.
I am amazed they still make the Corvette. They made a global warming true believer the head of a car company.. idiots.
A few people I know that have had the latest generation of the camaro state they are so wide they’re difficult to drive and even parking can be a problem.
They are big down here in The South............
The cars or the drivers?................
” I can’t remember the last time I saw one.”
Start looking.....the new ones are everywhere.
The car
People seem to still like the new mustangs. We had an early 70's camaro, really nice little sports car.
Yes, very long - sorta like my 72 Mach 1 - had a Trans Am too
😁...........................
The C8 version(rear/mid engine) of the Corvette is IMHO the best version they have ever made. Or at least since 1968.
It has the same performance as cars twice as expensive.
I think the issue with the latest edition of the Camaro is that it was not as good of a car as the Mustang. Which is just the opposite of the Camaro vs the Mustang back in the 1960s and 70s. The Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am was a better car with a few exceptions.
This current Camaro just did not sell well in comparison to the Mustang and the Challenger.
Sad day for America.
They were running out of 400 Pontiacs as I recall
When I ordered my 1978 Trans Am, you couldn’t get the Pontiac 400 T/A 6.6 unless with the 4-speed. Mine still came with a Pontiac 400 which had no problems at all.
I was going with the automatic for convience.
1979 Trans Am received the Olds 403 while I think a few were still able to get the T/A 6.6 with a 4-speed.
Ah......the good old days - I miss them - terribly
Mine was one of the last 1978s off the line - Van Nuys assembly I think
If I had waited 2 months I would have gotten a 1979
Goodbye Camaro, R.I.P. You were a good deal, a big bang for the buck, and won an amazing amount of trophies, made many records. Saw “Grumpy” Bill Jenkins with a white Camaro run in Englishtown, N.J. I think it was ‘68 or ‘69. And so long to Olds and Pontiac I loved them too. Ahh, the good ole days.
1976 I had the choice between a 76 mustang and a 76 Nova Coucours. I chose the Nova because the Mustang was a stick shift and I had never driven a stick.
I…chose… poorly. The carburetor crapped out on the Nova at about 56,000 miles. Piece of crap car.
Not the first life mistake and there were many more to follow.
BTW, ended up learning a stick later for Hondas and Toyotas…
And it’s all totally unnecessary!
We are not running out of petroleum.
The global warming hoaxers are responsible for this.
The is absolutely no reason to do any of these things.
It’s all a sham and a fraud.
This makes me so angry.....................
