It’s a sad reminded of what this country has lost.
When we got married my wife had a 1981 Camaro. I really liked that car.
My first car was a Camaro.
Always had a soft spot for them since.
However in my opinion, they seriously botched the reintroduction.
Ford and Chrysler did an excellent job on there retro mod vehicles.
The new Camaro is butt ugly.
I’ve owned two of those in my day, a 65 and a 77.
Now Ford could include 30 of those Mustangs with every EV and come out even
Look, I don’t want to insult anyone, but as much as you and I romanticize the Camaro and the Firebird, the reality is that mostly they’re were crappy cars. Huge doors that sagged. Easily rusted. Just not well made.
My Dad had a Dodge Charger, A Pontiac Trans-Am and a Z-28 Camaro. My Nephew has the Camaro. Great car for the money.
Anyone I met who owned one hated the poor visibility.
Love’d ‘em
Same with the Mustang, Trans-Am, all the 1960s-70s-even some 80s - many brands
Those were truly great days
Camaros still exist? I can’t remember the last time I saw one.
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.
People seem to still like the new mustangs. We had an early 70's camaro, really nice little sports car.
Sad day for America.
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…
BITCHIN’ CAMARO

Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro

My folks bought me a bitchin’ Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don’t leave a scratch
I ran over some old lady
One night at the county fair
And I didn’t get arrested
Because my dad’s the mayor
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro
Tony Orlando and Dawn
When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
‘Cause I’ve got a bitchin’ Camaro
And they have to ride the bus
So you’d better get out of my way
When I come through your yard
‘Cause I’ve got a bitchin’ Camaro
And an Exxon credit card
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro
Hey man where ya headed?
Bitchin’ Camaro, bitchin’ Camaro
I don’t want unleaded!
Well.....goodbye mullets!
I had a mid 70’s. Rusted like sin. They should have been ashamed.
I always thought when they re-introduced it, they should have made a 6-cylinder with handling like a Miata. GM has never made a nimble, well handling car.
GM is dead to me. I won’t buy a solen car. All the new ones are stolen from the bondholders.
