17, wrote a check out for a new 1980 Z/28 and drove off the show room floor. Yes, the salesman said it's your vehicle get it out of here lol. I had to back it out between other cars on the show room floor. Talk about a trusting saleman with a 17yo in a new Z/28 !

Does a Firebird count? If so, in 1988 I paid $800 for 1978 Firbird Formula at age 16.

23 and it was a '82 sleeper(V8) looked liked a base line car til you popped the hood. I think the only option it had on it was the engine upgrade.

18 years old in 1982, bought a 1968RS, which needs a resto now
47 in 2012 when I bought my 2012 SS Conv.

In those years I mostly had at least 2 Camaros, Had a 68 SS Conv which was sold several years ago. The last 30 years of my life I had at least 1 Camaro continuously.

I was 18, bought a 68 z/28, wish I still had it, traded it in on a 72, z/28, then came the wife and kids, promised myself when I saw the new ones I get the right one, and keep it till I croaked. Now I can go out happy!

I was 22 when I got a '95 Z28 back in 2008. Just recently sold it last month and got a 2010 SS. I loved the way that Z28 sounded, headers, high flow cats and a Borla catback.

My dad bought me a 1979 Z28 when I was 14. I couldn't actually drive it until I was 16, and I drove it all through high school and my first year of college. (It was optioned with AC, but it wasn't functioning at the time. In AZ...no good). We still have it, although it hardly sees the road anymore.

At 25, I bought my 2011 2SS/RS with no help.
