Body styles
Hi there to you all, you guessed it I'm new to this site! I'm a Brit living in Mexico and am finding information difficult to come by. Can anyone suggest a site that will give me body styles year by year. I am looking for a particular profile, angular rather than rounded, I think somewhere around '78/'79, with a flattish front end, not the Dodge Ram front!. Also was there a Camaro built with the designation GTI ( I saw one parked in Acapulco last week which had Camaro GTI on the front wing).
Many thanks
Many thanks

RE: Body styles
Welcome to the forums. If you look in the ride of he month section or check out our photo gallery you will see examples of most body styles. A brit in mexico, seems like loads of fun. You might have better luck (this is going to be blasphemy) looking inot a vw beetle, from the 80's back, there is alot of them there and parts would be alot easier to find.
Good luck on your search!

cplthomas, Sir!!
It would be a bit like driving a Taxi! Of course an air-cooled engine would be useful here, but a beetle? no thanks! Just my opinion of course and I expect there are a lot of members on here that have one. So no disrespect intended. I have had many "sporty" cars over the years, a 1933 Morris 8 SV engine that fueled by AVTAG(aviation spirit combined with low grade petrol(gasoline) would do 70mph plus. A MG TC 1949 that the doors flew open when you went round a sharp bend on adverse camber(scary that). A Daimler V8 1965, a BMW 2002 1973, a Morris Marina 1.8TC, several Vauxhall's(UK Chevy)Mercedes Benz 190, Mercedes-Benz C320 2001(very quick) various Land Rover Discoveries and other SUV and currently a Nissan Tsuru and a Nissan X-Trail.... Sorry it went on a bit but thats life I'm afraid!
