As a retired US Marine, I love the location that you chose to showcase your Camaro. The US Marine Corps, Iwo Jima Statue, in the background!

With a reenlistment bonus in the US Marine Corps, I purchased a brand new Firethorn (color), 1976 Camaro, right off the showroom floor for approximately $4,200.00. Those days are long gone!

@@lmcollins_54 thanks for the comments. That’s the original casting for the monument in Arlington. It was gifted to the Marine Military Academy in my hometown of Harlingen, Texas. We take a lot of pride in it. Funny you mention your $4200 second gen Camaro purchase. My buddy from Michigan was just here purchasing a 81 second gen Camaro from another buddy of mine. Sales price was $32,000. Times have definitely changed.

@@steveboyd3377 totally agree, I’ve owned 4 over the past 38 years. Guys my age or older like to talk trash about them. They are slow…they rattle. I’ve owned 69 Camaros and guess what? They were slow too, they rattle and they’re rust buckets.

I had a 1987 with a 383 TPI that pushed 500HP. I had to also weld a special frame strengthening system along with a cross-bar for the two strut towers. Edelbrock made a TPI system that gave you up to 1000Hp back in the day. My dream version has variable suspension all around the car & All Wheel Drive.
