1980 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, that car. Kicked. Some. Ass

Cam 427 · 11-19-2010, 04:21 PM

1970 340 Duster. After that a multitude of Mopars, a couple of which would have been worth alot these days.

1971 Nova SS, 350, 4 speed I bought for $1350 in 1985

fourmz · 11-19-2010, 04:21 PM

In 1994 I had a 1984 Camaro. I grenaded the 305 in it so my auto shop project my senior year was getting a Pontiac 400 installed with a 350 turbo tranny. I still see it around town from time to time.

I got a '72 Firebird a couple months before I got my license (at 15), had a '70 Camaro for a few months and then I got a '77 2-tone blue RS Camaro, 4-speed which I only had for about 7 months because my friend begged me to sell it to him so I did because I found the love of my life. When I was 19, I bought a white w/blue stripes & interior, 4 speed, loaded 1980 Z28 with air induction.

That ... car ... was ... bitchin'!

I drove a 1971 Z-28!!! Man, still wish I had that car!!

1978 Z28 I bought new my senoir year

camaro52010 · 11-19-2010, 04:33 PM

It was 1974 and the car was a 1965 Chevy Corvair Monza that I bought for $150 and had painted for $190. Put 275,000 college miles on it with 2 Engines and original 4 speed tranny. 110 horsepower, rear engine, horizontal 6 cylinder with 4 1-banger carbs that drove like a dream, screw Ralph Nader car was a blast and couldn't be stopped in the snow. Driving it still in 1978 when I bought my 78 Z28.

License 1974, first car 1970 Buick Skylark Custom 2 door, croaked that, and in 1975 got a 1972 Camaroo SS, blue white vinyl top, white interior used $2,500 with 21,000 miles on it. Mods were new tires L-60 in back with Cherry Bomb exhaust, sold it with 98,000 miles in 1980.

chain777 · 11-19-2010, 04:37 PM

In 1983 I had a 1975 T/A with a 455/4-speed that looked similar to this, but without the screaming chicken:

I paid $800 for it, and it was in pretty rough shape, but ran decent. I had the mega watt flea market special stereo in it too. After a while I started to tear down the motor, but never finished and ended up parting it out.

But when that wasn't running, I got a 1975 Pinto from my Grandfather for $50 that looked similar to this:

Luckily, I only had to drive the Pinto for about a year, and finally had a job where I could afford a new car, and bought a Mustang GT 5-speed that looked like this:

wilmaya · 11-19-2010, 04:39 PM

My car in HS was a 1969 Camaro SS396. And it was a ture SS. Only options were a TH400 and vinyl top. It was a column shift auto so it didn't even have a console. Very rare I think. It's time for another Camaro so I'm waiting until 2012.

71 plymouth valient( misspelled) 4 door slant six, threw rod first week. then 73 cutlass supreme with 350 rocket

irocnroll · 11-19-2010, 04:45 PM

I had one of these, 1984 Monte Carlon. Looked exactly like this one.

Then it got stolen and I moved up to one of these, 88 Iroc-Z:

I had the same stripe package as this car.
