Great car if your into old cars like this one. Runs well with no major problems. The car has a great feel and is so much fun to drive. This car also gets a lot of compliments and plenty of awe-struck stares.

Pros: It's just a beautiful car inside and out
Cons: Harder to find replacement parts

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.

Pros: the low end power
Cons: blind spots

I got this car after my High school Graduation. the body style rock's But as for the engine it suck's Only 175 Horse. from the factory.  I didn't put a stereo In the thing did after maket stuff.  IT sounded good in it's day. but need to put a hole new system in. As for the engine Biffed it up to about 450 Horses. Cromed the Engine out a little. Got rid of the air conditioner

Pros: i't a one owner car it's only got 23000 Miles on it.
Cons: Nothing I beefed the motor. and put a set of 411 read end in it  stereo Sucks.

this is one of my favorite cars its currently being restored and is powered by a 250ci s6. its a great drive and is sure to stick you to your seat every time it takes off. this year mode was one of the first to incorporate aerodynamics with muscle cars and introduced chevy to the in-line 6 cylinders.

Pros: it's true american muscle
Cons: 6 cylinder loves petrol lol

i love all of the possibility's my small block chevy has.patrs are cheap. it can easily throw your head back in the seat with the edelbrock high rise manifold and car. peeling out has never been easier.And with 12 inch subs and a 750 watt amp you can blow out your ear drums with style. one thing that i really need to improve though.... the horn sounds so small like a moped :(

Pros: fun to drive, i love to hear the engine. i can work on it without the help of any computers
Cons: it draws attention from pedestrians and police. definet fixer upper

Well, what can I say. My car is all original, minus the headers my dad installed in 1980, lol. She's got a 350, 4 speed, posi, and duals. Sounds gorgeous, performs well. Very solid, just starting to develope rust along the rear quarters. Also the interior is faded and the headliner is falling. She needs a restoration. She's been in my family since 1980, my mom bought it from the original owner. The car lived most of its life in the back corner of a dirt floored  pole shed with a car cover on her, surrounded by farm equiptment. Only recently have we pulled her out. before registering it in '02, she still had '91 tabs on her custom license plates. After a detailed washing and waxing, the original paint still gleamed, minus the rust I mentioned earlier. A good tune up and carbeurator rebuild and she's road worthy now, recieving roughly 300 miles during the summer, then retiring to the back of our concrete floored shed for winter.

Pros: American muscle, 350, 4 speed
Cons: Starting to rust on rear quarters
