Glad you're still out there. You do know that with a few$$$ you can turn that interior into anything you want. Hell, I'll get you some fuzzy dice if need be.

Thank you all again! I still have her but barely 4K miles on her >.< I may try and work it out with her but I think it's more than just the appearance of the interior, I think it's the whole geometry. Nothing I do will make me "feel" like my 1968 Z28 when I sit in her! I know. . . It's sad. I'd rather just look at her and drive my truck or ride my Harley than drive her. She's to nice to just sit there and be oogled by some beer drinkin biker HAHA! Just can't shake that spaceship feel when I get in her. I know I would drive a first gen more. I really don't NEED a car, certainly not two lol. It's really not fair or economical for me to keep her around just to stare at! That's what my wife is for HAHAHA! I loved reading all the posts of everyones well wishes and welcome backs! Nice to see you all again!

You need to go back and read your thread from the day you test drove your car... you'll never sell it then...

If I were you I'd trade it for a 70 or 71 with the split bumper, It has always been my favorite.

Okay here it is from my viewpoint..I have a 66 Chevelle as well as my Camaro. I love the Chevelle and would never sell it BUT!!!...to drive it for any length of time does not thrill me. It is fun and I get lots of thumbs up but the rumble for hours on end and the fear of bad weather will keep her in the garage for anything but the big shows or the best weather... The practicality of the car is a major factor.. Our new Camaros have all types of rust resistance and if maintained properly will look the same 10 years from now. Old cars on the other hand begin to rot from the day they are built.. Much extra care has to be taken to keep it from being a rust bucket in 5 yrs. One of which is to avoid bad weather of any kind.. Nostalgia only goes so far when you constantly worrying about your prize ride Weather break downs (they are old cars) door dings stone chips other drivers are all factors.. If someone too busy texting takes out your new Camaro that is bad but very easily replaceable with one exactly like you had.. An old Camaro on the other hand is a completely different story... If it were me I would double the cool factor by pinching my pennies and keep the new one and buy an old one for special occasion driving... That is why I bought the new one while keeping the Chevelle..
just my thoughts..

Well, if it makes you feel more comfortable we can take out the CD/MP3/USB/AM/FM/Bluetooth/OnStar digital stereo system and replace it with a vintage Delco AM-only transistor radio with one speaker in the dashboard.

I don't feel that way at all. I LOVE the looks of the Camaro, but I like driving it even more. I always have that "I can't believe this is really my car!" feeling when I drive it. I got my Camaro because I always loved the looks of the 1st gens. I have seen nothing that has come close to that look until the 5th gens came out. A new car is easier to mod because it's easier to find parts for. Think about this before you sell it... are you one of those for whom the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence?... You were soooo insanely happy with it when you got it. Modding it brings back that "it's a whole new car again" feeling. I'd just hate to see you sell it and then wish you hadn't. Good luck with your decision! |

Hey wow good to see you on here again. I was thinking about posting a, where did i go topic, and mine was gonna read about you lol
So i am here in Michigan wondering where is tht dude who love's puppie's Glad to hear you're still around in some capacity. At first i was reluctanat to ask, thinking maybe... but boom there you are lol contemplating your fit in a new Camaro. Dude whatever you choose, choose what feels best to you. You want the most in life right? We all do so go out and get it. |

Glad 2 see you back Z!
To be very honest with you I'd have to say if you truly feel that way, GET YOURSELF A 1ST GEN BROTHER Life is to short and you should go for whatever your heart desires. I was in a very similar position, wanting a 5th Gen when I recently test driven a Challenger R/T and knew that was the car for me. Ididnt want to have any regrets so i went ahead and got what I really wanted. I got bashed by a lot folks but the MY Happiness meant more than anyone else. I say go for it and get that 16yr 0ld feeling you been wanting! With the price you paid for the 5th gen, you can get a killer looking 1st gen! Whatever you choose to do, make sure you stay here with us
