Greetings and Salutations
Hey everyone, I'm glad to join this forum and hope I can become a good member of this community. I'm 19 and live in Toronto
I'm actually looking for my first car, which I want to be a nice Camaro. I don't like traditional cars because they all look the same, and I love the look of muscle, especially older ones.
What I would like to ask is if anyone could give me some info about what I should be looking for? I like the older muscle, but I want something that can handle long drives (6h). My overall budget is around 10k, tops. Preferably less, but I'm willing to cut down on stuff and save.
I'm not a car fanatic, but I have buddies who are, so detailed information is great.
I hope one day soon I can post up pictures of my car, and immerse myself in this.

Well hello Erku and welcome to the forum. If I had to do it all over again I would probably go for a 2nd gen that I know is in good condition and would have only cost me 6k instead of the 30k thats sitting in my sig. Ild say look around and you might nfind yourself a good 3rd gen for what you want to spend.....but goodluck on your search.

I really like the look of the 1969.
Sadly, I found a beautiful condition 1969 one on autotrader last week for only 10k. It was clean, engine looked great, but I didnt have the money. I dont think ill ever get a chance like that again. '71 also looks nice, but the '69 is really beautiful. Whats wrong with first gen? Just unreliable, or if i put some money in it to fix the parts (tanny etc) will it run alright?

Nothing wrong with 69's just they will be out of your budget based on what you said. And the way 2nd gens have been rising you will be looking for one of the later year models to stay in your buget at that. Keeping dependable on 6hr drives and riding muscle is a costly venture. especially when the muscle is an expensive Vintage Camaro to start with. Dont get me wrong, I wanna see you in a Camaro too. Just tryin to be realistic.
