Well, as many of you know-at the age of 18 I had managed to assemble a fleet of 4 cars. Well, today I finished picking my parts car (1974 El Camino) apart and had it hauled off to be crushed into one of those cubes. So, then there was 3.

As of yesterday I managed to finally sell my 1969 Camaro rolling chasis. I put it on ebay and the auction ended yesterday evening. Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2436546908&categor.... Anyway, that should be picked up in the nexyt 2 weeks. I have spoken to the guy who won the auction and he is contacting a company to make arrangements to move the car on Monday.

So, that will leave me with the 2 cars that I wanted. My 1969 Camaro 350, and my 1996 Camaro V6. Grin

Nice Camaro there Richie. What do you want to bet in a few years, Camaro is back as a FWD?

I have been reading into the 5th gen Camaro a little and what info Chevy has released is that it will be V8 powered and RWD-thank god.

Anyway, I was just glad to here they are bringing it back at all.

I just figured since they did it to the Monte, and since GM wants to be a Japanese car company anyway, that's the route they would head. Where did you get the info at? I'd kind of like to read that myself, even though I am a Mustang guy. I mean, even though you guys were just a copy of the Mustang, I still respect you!

Sorry man, nothing beats a '65 K code Mustang Fastback for sheer beauty.

Here's an interesting article concerning the 5th gen Camaro: http://www.motortrend.com/future/spied/112_0109_futcamar/index2.html

Also, here is the extremely brief list of info that GM has leaked about it so far: http://chevysupersports.com/Camaro5thgen.htm

This could be a Mustang Killer on looks alone. It's definitely derivitive of the 60's. I thought the retro craze was over...

Yeah, I think it looks cool. Of course, these are just concepts-a design hasn't been approved yet.

To me, it looks like they took a 69 Camaro and made it a lot more areodynamic.
