Looking for purchase advice 80/81
Hi,
A listing for a 80's Camaro popped up that looked interesting, I'm however not familiar with these older Camaro's.
Do you guys have any advice what to look out for? I'll put a link to the listing below, it is in German but roughly translated:
1980 Camaro, fully restored in 2015 with a lot of new parts, all approved by the road authority (TUV) and with historical plates.
The engine is a 5L that's been built by Franky's Garage, owned it for several years but not driving it any more, car has been standing still for a few years.
Due to this, some work is required like gaskets and seals, rest is in good shape, no rust.

Hello Everybody I'm new here , and thinging about buying my first Hamer Guitar.So I come here to get some perspective and maybe find one for sale. I bought a 97 Gibson LP DC studio a year ago, and I love that style of guitar now. Excellent balance, wrapbridge, double cut, lightweight humbuckers, and simplicity I found my style. But I keep looking- is there something out there thats even better/more fun to play on? . Hamers keep poping up. Now, I have never even held a Hamer guitar in my hands , and over in the northern woods of europe , it,s unlikely I will able to try a bunch of them before I buy. So I've looked at mid 90's studios and lately also sunburst and specials from 79-80's on the net . They look nice. The neck profile is my primary concern. Very Big + wide and shallow neck profiles don't work very well for me (shallow c ?). Are most of these DC Hamers "middle of the road" profiles kinda like gibsons ? Are there certain years that have a wide ,shallow profile? . And what kind of weight do theses DC's typically have ?
