First time I ever got laid was in my 97 red convertible. Good times, good times. God was it a pain in the ass with those seats that only went back 3/4 of the way. I destroyed the car going to fast around a corner. Went into a spin and went through a telephone pole. I ended up ripping off the roof, splitting the driver’s side door in half like saloon doors and blowing all four tires. Walked away like a champ though.

Nope, They are sitting in a spare room in my house. I tend to hoard car parts and accessories.

That would make a great spin off show. Hoarders - Camaro

- My '68 convertible was allot of work, but I'd do it all over again.
- My 70 Z/28 was rolled and totalled by a deer (I was driving, not the deer). Can't get that one back.
- I still know where my 72 SS is. Tried a couple times to buy it back, but the guy knows what its worth now.

I have my 3 favorite Camaros

wish I still had my 81 Z28 and 91 Z28 though and all the other Camaros I had, I want a gigantic garage full of Camaros

I miss all my Camaro's, man my 70 split bumper Z-28 would be worth a lot due to it having NO rust, and my two 73 Camaro's my 71 Camaro, my 82 Camaro Z-28 (the fastest-modified), my 83 trans-am w/Recaro package, and a few more. I'll try to find some pics I can post.

I miss my '81 sleeper Camaro and my '78 Trans Am. Ahhh....What memories! I wish I had pictures!

I don't think I could ever get rid of my SS. If something happened to it I would take what was left of it and decorate my house. lol

Behic2320 · 02-08-2013, 01:18 PM

Yea I loved my first one and will always remember her but the SS is just so amazing haha

Matching #'s engine, trans and rear. Only sheet metal not original was left quarter. Even painted it in lacquer so it was just like in '69.
That's the one I wish I had found a way to keep.

Sounds real similar to one that I have. Pretty much everything you listed except for the steering wheel and the gears. It has lots of options though including a fold down rear seat (which I never understood) and rear defrost.

Poor car sits under a cover. It's waiting on my sons to get old enough to enjoy.
