I like older Camaros but can’t afford them. I used to own a 1980 Camaro I sold long ago that my mother bought originally. I still smh at that. Anyways looking for another with the Bahamas blue color and this is one I came across. I know it’s 5 years past the cutoff date but damnnnn!

The effect OPEC had on the Mustang and other cars was a crime.
P.S. Sorry man every time I see that style of stang I think of what was lost. And what I as a 13 year old had to look forward to. The '70s sucked after that.

OPEC and the insurance companies brought an end to the muscles cars

if I remember right , depending on your license plate number or something , it determined you could only get gas on odd number days or even numbers day

it was the insurance companies that brought down the Trans Am , insurance rates were higher then the car payments

My favorite is the 1975 Chevy Camaro. I had a maroon colored one similar to these pics when I was 16 years old (in 1983). I felt bad ass driving it. Then, I fell asleep on a long drive (last I recall I was hovering around 100 mph) and rolled it upside down...totaled. Seat belt saved me and I only had a tiny cut on my knee when I crawled out of the car. I miss my Camaro so much!

Those fuckers were built like tanks!
 
I had a 1972 Plymouth Duster as my first car. I loved that car. I restored the interior and converted it to all black and added bucket seats, and cool details like a shift knob, sporty steering wheel etc,...


It had aluminum slot mags and air shocks, so I kept it jacked up in the back. Once it started to rust and became more bonds than steel, I finally had to give her up. I had big plans for that car, but not the time not skills to follow them through.

During my senior year in college, my brother gave me his car when he got drafted. He knew I loved that car. It was a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner 383, with tri-power carbs, racing clutch, and 4 speed manual. It was orange and black and ungodly for the time fast. I managed to keep it after I got drafted and drove it until 1973 when a kid in a stolen car ran a light and totaled it.

My very first car was a hand me down from my dad. It was a 1956 Chevy Bel Air with a 265 ci V8 and 4 barrel carb. I kept that car for many years and put over 300K miles on the original engine. I gave it to my nephew in 1999 and he still has it. He's restored it and it looks like new.

@IowaRam there was a kid in my HS that had an old rusted out Dart. It was a piece of junk, a real rust bucket from the very early 60's. The weather was hard on cars in Cleveland and in 5 years the older cars would start to rust and this one was probably three times that old. A rusted out POS of a car.

I don't remember what was under the hood but it was one of the fastest cars anyone in school had. It would flat out scream down the street.

My HS had both poor and wealthy kids. My best friend my senior year had a Shelby GT 350 and it was a rocket. His family had money. As in real money. His bedroom was bigger than my living room!

Another kid whose family had money ended up buying a Chevelle SS that had a 454 and was a 4 time drag race winner at an Ohio track who's name I cannot remember and it's probably long gone. It was the fastest car in school, nothing could beat it. I can't believe he never wrecked it........it was scary fast. In wet weather it was dangerous.

To give you an idea of how some families had money one kid drove a BMW that was a birthday gift. There was family that had two daughters, one got a Trans Am as a gift. It was the "color" version and they weren't cheap. She got a "blue bird" model whatever it was called, brand new. I'm assuming the other daughter got a new car when she was old enough to drive.
