My second car was a new 1986 Camaro IROC Z28, blue with t-tops, like this one:

I hated that car when new in '86. I love to have one just like that in mint condition today.

That generation Camaro looks nice, but the chassis on those sucked. They had no rigidity. The 93 Camaro was a huge improvement.

 

You know what sucks? The latest Camaros. I just don't like them at all.

The latest Camaro is wicked! And it's styling is inspired by the 69 Camaro!

You don't see these everyday. Very distinctive. The 1966 Plymouth Barracuda.

Take the lightweight Nova (smaller and lighter than the Corvette or Camaro), and drop the granddaddy 427 in it, and look out. :haz:

1970 Plymouth Superbird

 

http://www.chryslerinthenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/plymouth_road_runner_superbird_image_11.jpg

The Superbird and Daytona were built for Nascar. Up until the the late 80s, You had to build at least 500 production cars in order for your car to qualifier for Nascar. They built 500 of each of those cars, and they couldn't give them away back in 1970. Today those cars are worth well into the six figures.

 

The last car to be made specifically to qualify for Nascar was the 1986 Monte Carlo SS fastback.

The rear window helped with aerodynamics. Most Monte Carlo SS's had the flat back window.

That's a real ZL1, the other...I'm not so sure.

 

Only a fool would modify a car that was worth over $300,000.
