You have me beat with 3. I've only had two so far, a '75 and a '78.

The '78 was pretty: white with gold stipe on the hood and gold trim, but a piece of junk. Great for getting attention, though...mostly police attention...lost my license in that car. I still kick myself for selling the '75: dark maroon, totally sinister and scary fast. What a great car!

When I finish with the house stuff, I'm looking for a project car: '75-'77 Camaro or a '72-'73 Firebird...the car I should have had in high school instead of that 4 door Buick POS-car! lol

I loaned my then teen age son some cash to buy a 1967 Camero from a elderly gent in 1975. He brought the car in where my son was working to have a trailer hitch removed as he was trading it in. My son mentioned that he would buy the car if the dealer low balled him on the trade in.

The man came back mad as hell and said it’s yours for $600. It seems the salesman back in 67 had sold it to him because the man wanted lots of power and a manual transmission to tow a travel trailer. The Camero was a RS with a 396 and a four speed! It scared my son to death when he took it out on the hiway to “test it” and put it in the center divider when the brakes faded to nothing.

My son sold it for $1,800 and he found out later it was one of 800 made and was worth $3,000 at that time...
