Does a mullet make a man?

Craigslist is a fickle beast. After months of failing to sell the Camaro and taking it down for a few weeks, I relisted it, with fresh pics and $500 off and it went in under 12 hours. Spring weather opens up peoples wallets I guess!

Malaise era is best era.

The hunt for a replacement already began a few weeks ago, but it wasn’t until I saw the ‘maro drive off for the last time that I properly reflected on my malaise-era muscle car experience. It was noisy, brash, slow, wheezy engined and rattly as hell, but that car definitely had character. Every journey was special, every destination made was an achievement. She never left me stranded, but I guess the wobbly gauges were enough to keep me on my toes.

Rally North America OV700 Start Line, Mackinaw City MI

Not sure how much I will really miss that car (I denfinitely won’t miss having to spend money on winter storage), but I’m so glad of the memories of it from the summer, on Rally North America, and generally tooling around in such a ridiculous piece of 80s GM quality.

Winter storage? Why not just drive the car year round?

The best part of the Camaro is the T-TOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck GM for not offering them on the new car :(

Michigan. The car was completely rust free, I didn’t want to be the one to kill it being 30 years old and so clean!

Nice 3rd gen man, sad to see it go. Hope it got a good home. Was it stock?

It did go to a good home! The owner plans to throw a 350 in there to give it the power it so badly needs.

It was mostly stock. I put a decent stereo in there with some Kicker subs, recaro seats and a Nardi steering wheel. Engine was the 6 cyl 2.8 and untouched, and the previous owner did a full set of Poly suspension bushes and Z28 springs.

Here’s proof. This first one is when I won chicken shit bingo. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. White trash never ends.
