I don't remember what year this one is, but I thought it was special. It belongs to my step son, and was given to him by his dad.

carver · 07-07-2012, 07:54 AM

Jack, the pics of the Camaro were taken about two weeks ago, with the cell phone that I am now having trouble with!

wv hillbilly · 07-07-2012, 07:57 AM

very nice gift. i'm guessing it is a 1985

carver · 07-07-2012, 08:09 AM

I don't think you would be too far off hillbilly.

jack404 · 07-07-2012, 08:24 AM

I had plans of getting a F250 , got that instead , found pic's of the lady i bought it from , 50 something and still cute ( and knew it ) but not the car , they'll not be scanned but it looks similar, awful so

nice car bit under powered for what it is but that pollution crap will do that to a donk

carver · 07-07-2012, 08:36 AM

I never like the looks of the Camaro untill last years model came out. They were always under powered all the way back into the '60's.

ka64 · 07-07-2012, 08:41 AM

Mid to late 80's.

Ever driven a Gen 4, LS1 powered Camaro? May have been many things but underpowered they weren't

todd51 · 07-07-2012, 09:06 AM

Very nice. I have always been a fan of the Camaro. Way back in '67 I purchased a new bright red SS, 350, four speed. I wouldn't have called it under powered. Sorry no pictures.

That body style started in 1982. Had a 82 z28.

jedwil · 07-07-2012, 01:27 PM

I don't recall ever seeing that exact body style. Wife loves her 2010.

Bobitis · 07-07-2012, 02:22 PM

Early 80's judging by the front end. Can't say I've ever seen one with that back portion though. Very cool.

Eddie N · 07-07-2012, 02:36 PM

That body style ran from 1982 to 1992. I have an '83. That one sure looks sharp, though.

the 1968 camaro i have came equiped with a 396 c.i./375 h.p.engine, 4 speed transmission and a 12 bolt rear with a 4:88 posi track
375 hp was pretty impressive back then

it ran a 12.20 @102.77 mph and 12.63 @104.28 mph through the 1/4 mile

Impressive then....And now....My wife's 2010 impresses me because of it's 6 cylinder with 300+ HP and decent MPG.

the 2012 Camaro SS is motivated by a 6.2-liter V8 that can be had in two forms depending on transmission selection. When coupled with the six-speed automatic transmission, the SS is good for 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, while opting for the manual gearbox will net an additional 26 horsepower and 10 torque, for a grand total of 426 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
