Sorry Mary Ann, but you are one of the people that constantly gives the impression that it's not ok and apparently you don't even realize it.

We all know that the Camaro and Firebird were always basically the same car right from the start. Many parts are direct interchanges. Right from the start, some of the engines were the same, the transmissions have always been the same, the rear ends the same, brakes, front end parts...

The main difference was front and rear end styling.

Our Camaro is my wife's car. When we were dating, brother to raced one (and I worked on that car). Her very first car was a '71 Camaro which I bought for her when I worked at the Pentagon back in the late 70's. She wanted to have her first car again when I bought her '72 Camaro for her birthday back in 2000.

Now I personally would have preferred a Firebird - I like the styling better and the Pontiac V8 better. Even my wife likes the styling of the Firebird better. But the Firebird wouldn't have had the connection to her past, so I spent 2 years finding the right car to build for her.

And as it turns out, I really found the "right" car. When I got the car home, I found the original build sheet and learned that the car was built within 2 weeks of our first date. When we pulled the engine to rebuild it, the date code on the block was Valentine's Day, 1972.



So everytime you post "Crapmaro" - you insult me, my wife and every other person on this board that owns a Camaro.

OK so I apologize that I hurt your wittle feelings with an opinion, and if you're insulted I apologize for that too. enjoy your ride Champ.
