Nice. I think gloss black wheels would have looked better though.

Hopefully this 76 t/a 455 works out locally.....

Dave McFly · 01-06-2010, 07:10 PM

that is ONE nice 2nd gen Camaro

the Camaro is the ONLY car where I loved EVERY generation (1-5). one of my dreams is to get a 75 Camaro (year I was born). I saw one like this for sale a few years ago and I cannot BELIEVE I passed on it

!

was the same color as that but it had the 80/81 Z28 style rims on it instead

RAWR!!!

The whole time I drive that I'd put on an accent like Scotty from Star Trek just to add the allready high levels of bad asserey.

That is a 1970-73 Pontiac Firebird, not a Camaro.

they are still BOTH F body cars built with mostly the same parts except for fascias and interior bits and wheels and engines.

Oh dear. I believe what you mentioned would qualify it as a different car. Much like a Monte Carlo SS was very much different than a Buick Grand National back in the '80's.

Anywho....

Looking into a gen 3 Camaro for my oldest son to drive in a few years. He really likes that particular body style.

Dave McFly · 01-09-2010, 06:40 PM

i meant both cars are from the same generation (70-81) and they do share sheetmetal just like the SS and the GN (but take away the turbo and its just a V6 Buick Regal), but are like you said different cars. I would have taken a 75 Camaro OR Firebird/TA

Absolutely stunning! That looks fantastic and very nicely done...a classic sleeper, sure to surprise a few.

Mr Twisty · 01-09-2010, 07:07 PM

Yeah, it's a 72 Formula 400 ... a really NICE one at that!
