this car is very fun to drive, right now theres not much as far as performance goes, but there will be soon. This is a very charasmatic car she has a personality of her own, overall no major problems. Shes in fairly rough shape but all the problems can be fixed, just needs time and money, she has the love from her owner, just doing as much as I can with what I haveDec 14, 2010

What I really love about this car is the styling. Second Generation Camaros are my favorite. For having a 305, automatic transmission, and 30+ year old suspension, it can really kick ass! It's just a work in progress which I am thinking about selling, but I'm not too sure. I would really like to get a 2006 Pontiac GTO or a 1993 GMC Typhoon. Jul 30, 2010

its awesome car to drive i can whup up on any hondas or toyota that gets in my way and it is very easy to drive considering the steel body. the only thing that sucks is the motor was tired when i got it so not much left in itJul 28, 2010

Bought this one 17 years ago for a couple hundred bucks. Spent the
majority of its life sitting and was severely sun damaged but no rust and
only 30,000 kms on it. 7 year restoration to show room condition with
the exception of a bunch more horsepower and no anti smog gear.
Something wrong in the rear, the back tires keep going bald!!!Apr 12, 2010

Acceleracion: UN DEMONIADO V8, cada vez que me bajaba me temblaban las piernas!
Braking: No tan bueno, mucho poder, mucho peso para detenerlo cuando yo queria! ademas mi cuñado Richar comenzo a trastear los frenos y por eso me fui a sembrar en la granja! UP YOURS RICHARD!!
Manejo: muy, muy bueno.
Calidad de construccion: ESOS SI ERAN CARROS DE CERDAD!!
QUE SI NECESITABA MUCHAS REPARACIONES?!! UUUFFFFF!!!! MILES!!.....jejejeje
Apariencia exterior: Me gustaba como lucia!
Apariencia Interior: Poco me importaba, lo que queria era sacarle todos los asientos, alfombras y el tablero y dejarlo como los autos de NASCAR!! de competencia!
Millage: N/A
Mantenimiento: MUY, MUY CARO!
Factor divercion: NUNCA ME HE DIVERTIDO TANTO EN UN CARRO COMO EN MI CAMARO!Oct 13, 2009

This car is hot! Engine is a 350 bored over to 355 cid. It is a 3 speed on the floor. It has a mini spool in the rear end ( that makes it a posi rear end). Launches hard from a dead stop. will put your head back. This car will also be gone through , when my firebird is complete, will beat the crapp out of it for now!! ( Its a Chevy!! It'll last).

the ultimate in muscle cars (or in the Chevy branch anyhow. sorry Ryan) well as i hope you can tell i cant drive, but this was amazingly fun to ride in. However, it met its untimeley end on the way to the County fair when the engine blew in the middle of the highway.Jul 08, 2009

I was 15 in 1987 when I got this car, and it was love at first
sight. Absolutely everything fell apart on this car, but I didn't
care. I loved it. Now I'm married to a Ford Taurus, and she is
about to bore me to death! I sure could use a fling with my old
Camaro. 350 with 3 speed auto in the floor. Black with tan
interior. The sound, the feel...I'll never forget her. Just don't
tell my Taurus.Dec 24, 2008

Bought this bad boy to learn how to wrench on cars. Nothing fancy about this Camaro, but it had a nice little V8 and wasn't a "Z."
Pretty much learned what NOT to do with cars while owning this bad boy. Wound up blowing the piston rings and moving up to the Z28.
Great fun first car fora 14 year old!Sep 25, 2008

I love my camaro. It's a very pretty car. It runs well. I just don't like it when people don't like my car and decide to do something about it. The only bad thing about my camaro is the gas mileage. It is horrible. I get about 10- 14 miles to the gallon. I think i need a 5 speed. I need A/C in it as well. It's not fun driving it in the hot summer days, but i kinda have to. Its my only car.Jul 31, 2008

This car was inexpensive and a nice buy. I love driving it and restoring it to it's former glory with my dad. The legacy of Camaros has always made me look in amiration at them and when I'm older I would like a newer Camaro SS.Jun 14, 2008

It has a 350 Goodwrench crate motor with 290hp, but it orignally had a 305 in it. Ha the car is kinda like a maroon but in sun light it turns kinda burnt orange looks great. The interior is all red with cloth seats, and has a 12 disc cd player in the trunk cause i like the stock look and i have a 10" subwoofer in the trunk. It doesnt have true dual but it has duals on itJun 09, 2008

Ive rebuilt this car from the ground up and should hopefully have it on the road next year. It is currently running but the interior needs to be finished up and a few mechanical things need to be finished off.
Recent work in 08 is emergency cable rerouting, tranny rebuild and new heater core. See just throw 100 dollar bills at it and it runs great.........=)May 16, 2008

This is what being a teenager is all about. Different generations have different cars that fit
this bill but this is a perennial. Put any teenage boy behind the wheel of this and they will
want it. 5.7L V8, 4-speed manual transmission, power brakes, rear wheel drive with a
3.73:1 positraction rear end. Seriously?
Yes! And boy does this sucker go! Still a bit before overdrives, the 4-speed was a thrill to
row through. Don't wanna row through gears? Put it in 3rd and start out and do 0 to 110.
That's called "tractable" kids.
Alloy wheels looked sharp and it even had a tiny back seat if you wanna cram your friends
in for a short trip across town. They won't wanna be stuck there for long trips however.
This car was great. Fast, reliable, easy to work on, parts are cheap and plentiful. The
ONLY negative was gas mileage... but face it when you have a Z/28 you know what you're
getting into. This is a great car for two - using the backseat and little trunk for your road
trip needs.Feb 14, 2008
