A few years ago you wouldn’t have given much thought to owning a Rockford era TransAm or Camaro, but with the price of every other classic car being higher than the International Space Station, you sometimes have to settle for what you can afford. Personally, I’ve found these cars attractive for a while, but as […]
This next car is not your typical Camaro, but it is the typical car you’ll find in small town America and an example of what a Chevy Blazer platform can do when it is given some room to be awesome. All you need to do is to add a 3rd gen Camaro body and some […]
Why do I feel like I’ve featured this car before? It seems familiar, but I must be thinking of a different car because I can’t find the feature. Anyway, I owned one of these classic Camaros back in the day and this thing looks ready to rock. Find this 1985 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z offered for […]
I’ve never been happy to see that a car didn’t have AC before this next Z28…because now I have an excuse to wear a wife beater t-shirt in this thing year around. Although in respect to women, I think we should go back to calling them dago or guinea t-shirts because as the descendant of […]
Prices for the 2nd generation Chevrolet Camaro (1970-1981) have been all over the place in the past few years, probably as the wheat gets sorted from the chaff. Is this next one a sheep or a goat…I’m not sure, but I am sure that it has a newer Vortec small block V8 put in place of the original small block (or it could have come with a 250 inline-6) but it is fed with a carburetor instead of fuel injection.

A few years ago I owned and drove a used 3rd generation F-body and I’m not going to say it was a bad car, but let’s just say that it is not an experience I am anxious to repeat. It was slow and unsophisticated, but mine was an 84 Z28 and I didn’t have a rare last year of the generation 25th Anniversary edition. The 25th Anniversary Heritage Edition was supposed to be equipped with Corvette alloy cylinder heads, a 6-speed manual, and tubular exhaust, but the bean counters at GM decided that a graphics package is what buyers wanted for their extra cash. However, today’s example is offered for a decent deal and looks to be ready to go. Find this 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS offered for $6,800 in Stamford, CT via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
The Machiavelli Max post the other day was one of the better looking fake Ferrari kit cars I’ve seen recently — despite its plebian TransAm roots, it looks like a Ferrari to a casual observer. This next kit car…it is interesting, but I don’t think that anybody is going to be fooled into thinking it is a ’57 Chevy. Similar to the Machiavelli, the Belaro also uses a GM F-Body for the mechanical parts, but this time a Camaro.

I have to imagine that there was once a circus somewhere that decided to skip the typical slapstick Benny Hill skits and decided to re-enact Smoky and the and the Bandit…but with clowns. Smokey would drive something black-and-white, it doesn’t really matter, but Bandit would need a properly clown ride and I can’t imagine a better car than this next thing.

The 3rd generation Chevrolet Camaro was sold from 1982 through 1992 in decently large numbers. Even though it is the upgraded Z28 model, you couldn’t call this next car rare, but with only 62k miles on the odometer you can call this next thing unusual. Fast…maybe depending on your yardstick, but I daily drive a 3rd gen Z28 for a few years back in the early 2000s and it was starting to get beaten by low-spec rental cars back then. Fun? Yup, even with the slushbox it has a certain amount of muscle car DNA to make life interesting. Find this 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 offered for $13,500 in Laurel, MS via craigslist. Tip from Ramjet.
The second generation Camaro was first sold in 1970 as an upgrade in length, width, power, and price over the outgoing model. Buyers had favored the classic looks of the first generation models for decades, but in the past few years the prices of the 1970-1981 models have gone up. This next example is an original numbers matching survivor that has a high asking price, but could be worth it if the paint is original and still good.
