Retro-Wednesday.....




Hi Everybody...Ready for some Un-Creativity?

They say everything OLD becomes NEW again, at sometime or another.

This yellow beauty rolled off the truck today for some lucky owner.

Based on the 1968 Camaro,( top pic )this baby stickers out at $35,000!

The V-6 Model starts at about $25,000.

It may be a tad late to save GM completely, but we're giving it a shot!

Peace...!!!

    That's not a bad looking car. It may still be a bit pricey for the times, but I'd love to see you sell it.

    Galen. I just love cars. I love them. I don't know very much about the mechanics of them, but I just love them anyway.

    And I just have to say...only $25 thousand? For that car? Really?? I would have thought the would be going for much more!!
    I'm happily surprised--that's for sure!

    Call me a traditionalist - but I'd stick to the original.

    At least Chevy is trying ... back in the day of that old Camaro, it and the Ford Mustang outsold and therefore drove my Cudas and Challengers into history.

    Just proof that Chrysler could never hang with the big boys from day one until now. Don't blame the economy, blame the company who won't look at its competitors and move forward. Maybe their stickshifts are stuck in Park.

    Hey G-daddy, is that new 'maro a stick or auto? It's always been a bitch of mine that a sports car meant for kicking the shit out of your average everyday vehicles out on the road has an automatic tranny. Again, Chrysler did it too. A 340 with an automatic?? Please. I throw up in my mouth a little everytime I think about it.

    Sell those beasts Galen, I know you can do it!

    I went through a bankrupcy with a company I worked for. It's hard, but you survive... Sharp styling, might catch the predicted upswing in the economy...

    Nice looking car. My first car was a 1968 Mustang. I had it until 8 yrs ago when our youngest took it and it mysteriousy disappeared.

    Very nice but I like the classic models.

    Hopefully these remakes will help give us the boost we need!

    Oh yeah, I'll take two.
    I'm sorry, but transportation ought to not cost that much.

    Unless it gets great gas mileage, they're wasting their time.

    The V-6 gets 29 mpg
    The 426 hp V-8 gats 24-26 mpg!
    Not bad for a muscle car..
