My Oldest recently got her learners permit. She informed me last night that she wants a Camaro for her first car. I had been planning on giving her my '96 Monte Carlo, but how can a Dad deny a request for a Camaro?
My first car was a 1968 Camaro that I paid $200 bucks for. Back then it was just an old car. You can't touch a complete junker for less than a grand now.
She won't be getting a first generation car, you can count on that. But there are lots of 2nd generation cars out there for decent prices. Anything after that, I have little interest in. The first and second generation cars define the Camaro to me. So I guess I am in the market for a Camaro between the years of 1970 and 1981. I saw a few on craigslist. They had either had the original motor replaced with some hack job POS or were rusted beyond recognition.
I'm sure I can find something that needs work but isn't junk. I have about 9 months to come up with something... plenty of time, plenty of time.
I have a nice little 1973 4 bolt main 350 sitting on an engine stand out in the shed that is dying to go in something. And I have a nice Edelbrock Street Dominator intake sitting on a shelf. I have a gorgeous pair of Chevrolet script valve covers hanging on the wall.... hmmm, I'm getting some ideas here...
