Cheap, Fun, Camaro!

I just got back from McDonald's. I like their spicy chicken wrap. The people at the windows ALWAYS compliment the '81 Camaro, as well as any other place I take it. I bought it running well for $900. That was 10 years ago. It's bright yellow and we put black rallye stripes on it and a few Transformers badges. It gets more compliments than my other much more expensive cars. My daughter would drag race it in the 1/8th sometimes but mostly lose. I'm not sure if it has a 350 or a 305. It will spin the tires for a bit.

I had a 4 bolt main 350 in the garage that I took to famous race engine builder. Now it's a 383 putting out 475 hp 475 torque. It's not in yet. I also picked up a posi for it. Yes, it has some bondo cracks, but the movie BumbleBee wasn't perfect either. She should win a few races next spring

Okay, I love Mopars, but for dirt cheap fun, get a late 70's early 80's Camaro. Preferably yellow with black stripes. Just use it for McDonald's and Walmart runs. She takes it to car shows and lets kids sit in it and get their picture taken. They think it's the real robot.

I always let kids sit In my cars and get their picture taken at our local shows. I was surprised when I was in Washington recently and a guy told my grandkids jump in and get their picture taken.

I I shook his hand and thanked him. Told him I do the same. We talked for a little while. Goes to show, car guys are the same everywhere and basically good people.
