I love the car. A buddy of mine got one for his 16th birthday in 1978. He did the exact same mods. His was the light tan color.

Funny, on my 1969 Firebird convertible I put the battery in the trunk, added Cragar SS wheels with BFG Radial T/As and got a set of chrome Hooker "Show Tubes" side pipes. I never got around to installing the side pipes.

I moved the wheels and tires(and Gabriel Hi Jackers) over to my '78 Z/28 in 1980.

"This thing is so ****ing cool I feel like I should give it my lunch money."

"It’s perfect the way it is, color, sidepipes, and especially those Cragar mags. Refreshing, instead of the giant unrecognizable pimping rims you mostly see on old muscle cars today. Hell yes."

"I’ll go out on a limb and predict the guy that laid the stripes on the rear deck and spoiler had only one good eye." (last part omitted for the sacrilege of getting rid of the side pipes!)

"Looks like a HotWheel I once owned!"

"This might be the actual car that inspired the Dead Milkmen to write, “Bitchin’ Camaro.”

"“Who owns this car with the peace sign, the mag wheels and the 4 on floor?”

"I agree 100% BAT, leave it be (well maybe a chain link wheel) and drive the hell out of it!"

"Bring a mullet and a pack of Lucky’s! Nice time capsule."

"Traction bars – check, L88 hood – check, T-Handle Hurst – check, Cragar SS – check ready to relive youth! Very much a ‘period-piece’ although back then, I always wondered why take a road-racing style of car and make it into a drag-racer? Drag racing is what MOPARs were for. But, a nice car that’s going to make someone in their late 50s early 60s very happy GLWS."

"It has been years since I have seen side pipes and an L-88 scoop. These are my favorite F bodies. Funny, I looked at the interior photo and Blue Oyster Cult popped into my head, that’s how period correct this is."

"I saw this and hoped for traction bars. Was not disappointed."

"Those stickers alone ‘gotta be worth an extra 10hp."

Loving some of those comments...and really dig the vibe on the car!
