1979 Camaro — the 1979 camaro has more to offer then its looks. the sleek body lines gives it the ability to be a beautiful car. performance wise it wasnt the best out of the factory but with simple modifications and very little money the car can be fast. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

After the trans change hope to get paint done on it..right now it is called deepest cardinal but hope to go for something a little more customized.. |

ProsHas pretty decent power feels like more than 190hp, 4 speed manual tran is amazing, I always loved the way the second gen camaros looked, sound great but i have straight pipes on the 350. ConsFuel economy,
25
Favorite Car Of All Time — I bought the car myself at 17 and its been great ever since, acceleration is decently quick with the 4 spd trans. The brake could use an upgrade, when moving at speeds around 65mph it feels like its not gonna stop. Funnest thing ive ever driven, even better than the 2012 camaro in my opinion. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

25
Love My Ride — I like the year as i was born in 1978 and me and my cousin built this car. It was a barn find and for 400.00 i couldnt go wrong. I have tons of money and time into this car and love making and spending time with my kids working on it and making memories with it Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

ProsSolid construction. When this car runs, it will be fast and beautiful. The paint changes color in the sun. The aerodynamics are superb. ConsNot the best car for wet roads. It rides low and hydroplanes even with the sturdy frame and weight of steel construction.
25
Camaros' Rock! — The restoration project dragged on forever until it became ridiculous. Then the owner left town and left me with the car. Not being a mechanic or wanting a classic muscle car, I want to find someone who is going to love it and get it running again or at least use it for parts. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
