What did you have to give up? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Wow, I helped build my IROC-Z at the Norwood GM Plant and I started it up on the assembly line for the first time. I swore I'd never sell it, but 24 years and 29000 miles later..I just parted with her for $16,500. :( I've had 12 other Camaros, but always held onto the IROC. I drove my first 2SS last weekend for 2 days and I was so impressed. Hopefully this knot in my stomach will go away when I have the rest of the money to pay cash for the SS. I've sold the IROC, the Yamaha WR250 and still trying to sell the R6. I'm 44 years old and have had a Camaro since I was 15. This will be the first time in my life since then, I will be Camaroless for a few months. Hopefully the sacrifice will pay off, with another long term relationship with the new Camaro.

Sweet ride.

You know, the Camaros we have known and loved never really leave us. I still have dreams about my '72 Z/28, at least I know she went to a good home.

Nice ride sorry to hear you had to part with her. The 2010 Camaro is awesome I think you will enjoy it

Very, very nice post! Hope it went to a good home,...and that they understand the heritage and history!
You will not be disappointed by the new Camaro...it brings the past and the present.... perfectly together!

man that's a sweet looking 3rd gen, most of the one's i see are driven by rednecks and are all ragged out and look shitty, that thing is beautiful!!!! be proud of that thing man. i hope you sold it to someone who'll take care of it as it appears you have!!

This is what I gave up to have my precious Camaro.

third1 · 11-29-2009, 01:07 AM

I would have found a way to have both. That 85 was sweet looking....

Spiffyguitar · 11-29-2009, 01:48 AM

I traded my 2006 350z Touring 6m. It was a lot of fun that's for sure!

joerod97 · 11-29-2009, 01:59 AM

The pain will subside when you get that awesome new Camaro.

EvolutioN · 11-29-2009, 02:37 AM

I have sold my 2007 Mustang Roush 427R a few days ago.
Now I am into waiting (a.k.a saving). No credits what so ever to worry about.
And ordering a IOM 2SS in February, hoping to get it for May/June.

This will be a long wait. And driving around in my 1996 Subaru Legacy GT just isn't cutting it, but it's all gonna be worth it in the long run.

I sold my 2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax with a whopping 7500 miles on it about a month before I got my Camaro. It was a great truck but I love my Camaro!
