My names Bryan. I have been a camaro fan for many years. My family has alwyas been into cars, mainly my grandfather who Im sad to say is no longer with us anymore. We have had a few and still have 3 show cars not counting my camaro I have now. A 1930 Model A street rod, 57 Belair, and a 65 chevy C10 pickup. I had a 1972 SS Nova which I sadly had to part with due to going to college. As far as camaros go, Ive had an 80 RS, and a 92 RS 30th anniversary editon.The one I recently purchased is an 81 Z28 with 27,000 original miles. This car was originally purchased in Florida by an individual that used the car to run drugs up and down the eastern coast. The WV state police caught the guy and confinscated the car. It sat out behind the state police barracks under a tarp for 10 years, then was sold at an auction. The individual who purchased the car resold it soon after the auction to a friend of mine. He had bought the car for his wife but they own a car lot and the car ended up setting in a field for close to 12 years. Everything on the car is solid other than the floorpans are completely rotted out where it set in the high grass. The interior is mostly there but dirty and sun faded. They had started to fix it up but stopped and didnt return to it. I had done some investigating and found that the mileage was original and accurate so thats when I purchased the car. I am excited to become a part of this site. I am a member of chevytruckworld.com and have found it very helpful with my truck. Im hoping that this one is informative also.

Hi Bryan, that's quite a list. I had a '70 Nova years ago.

Welcome to CF!

Thanx. I know its not the best looking car now and of course like most people my dreams for it are much larger than my wallet, but hopefully it'll turn into something some day.
