It’s a sad reminded of what this country has lost.

I had three 67,70,74. Wish I had any of them, now.

When we got married my wife had a 1981 Camaro. I really liked that car.

[sjmjax]

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 have owned several ‘Pony Cars’:

Camaro

Firebird

Charger

Mustang - Own now.....................

[unread]

I’ve owned two of those in my day, a 65 and a 77.

I would take a late 70s z28 over the equivalent pontiac trans am. Virtually the same body but different trim effects, but I prefer the front end trim on the camaro much better. However the Trans am had more status/mystique

[bigbob]

Now Ford could include 30 of those Mustangs with every EV and come out even

[T.B. Yoits]

The late 70s Trans Ams also had Oldsmobile 403 engines in them.

[Red Badger]

Now, there’s an idea!
BOGO!
Buy a Mustang, get an EV as a spare!................

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.

[Red Badger]

I remember seeing a chimera car in Maryland when we lived there for a short time back in 1980.

It was half Camaro and half Firebird..................

[Red Badger]

That is true. I owned them all...........But they were stylish!.............

[blueunicorn6]

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.

[z3n]

That wasn’t standard was it? I thought they typically had the 400cc 6.6L

[unread]

Oops...that that should have been a 65 ans a 73.

[T.B. Yoits]

Once the Hawaii 5-0 reboot, an hour long weekly commercial for Camaro, ended it was inevitable that the sales would drop off.

Anyone I met who owned one hated the poor visibility.

Huge doors that sagged. Easily rusted. Just not well made.

LOL, that was true for just about any 10 year old chevy that I can remember.

[Red Badger]

Yep, that is the #1 complaint..................
