Nice ride!

[sixball]

I like it both ways. That is a nice car and I bet fun to drive.  Very clean looks. I raced a '58 Vette in my aunts '56 Chevy 4 door. I was a sleeper even it it's later days. It had a dealer installed performance package because she hated her '55 wagon with a 235 automatic.

Sixball, i bet it was a slug with the glide. When my Aunt got divorced in the mid 60s, her Ex bought her a an old ladys '57 210 4dr sedan. It was a 235 3speed, ugly as sin. White/blue top skirts/sunvisor, low mile and clean. The thing was slow as all get out.
Now my Granddads '59 Elcamino that I ended up with had a 235 3speed and it seemed to have a lot of power. He pulled a double horse trailer all around to Rodeos no problem. When i got it it would still smoke the crap out of the tires. I put in a '65 327 4 bbl and m21 4speed and it wouldn't anymore till i changed out the rear end gear from the 3:36 to a 4:11.

Dang, you guys have had some cool cars!
So different from here, my dad had a '65 Simca 1000 and a '62 Opel Rekord. No way to smoke the tires on these cars, if you didn't litterally light them on fire 

I bought my first American car in 1985 at age 19 before going to the Army, it was a 1965 Plymouth Valiant with a 225 and three on the tree. It was awesomely fast. At least compared to my '70 Corolla.
Car culture in Finland...
I've owned over 30 American cars since.

Seems a little slow around here lately, i guess everybody is busy with other things.

Brother got as far as he cam go on his 73 RS/LT Camaro with out making decisions of orig vinyl top and the additional chrome trim the car came with, then blowing back apart for paint. He has other projects he wants to get on and just doesn't have the time or money to advance on it. He listed it for sale earlier this week and sold it yesterday.

Now maybe he can get back on his 66 Vette coupe😁

Nice Camaro.  I like those gen II Camaros!

[sammons]

Me too, the earlier the better. I'd really like to have a 1970 Z-28/RS.

[sixball]

Yes. Early Camaros are really good looking, especially the plain ones. When my wife & I were looking for our first new car in 1970 we looked at one but because she was in a full leg brace it was hard for her to get in it. So we bought a Blazer. Still have them both!

My buddy bought a red 70 Camaro from a lady around 1976. She was a bankers wife and ordered it new. Rumor had it she ordered a Z/28 minus the badging, 15" wheels and all the performance stuff.

About the same time another buddy bought a bone stock 71 K5 Blazer, white/black top with lower body trim and white wall mudgrips and the full wheel covers. It was a good looking rig, always liked that one.
