I used to get really turned off by a paint scheme like that. But now I realize that it's the whole package, which is greater than the sum of its parts. Is the handling potential far superior in the 2nd gen cars? I've never owned one.

All 2nd gen handle nicely, but handling packages with sway bars and such wake them up. I took mine up here yesterday, huggin' rock walls, switchbacks, and dodging over centerline incomings

That's completely absurd, if true. Those Camaros are $5k cars all day long in the SF bay area and there's lots of them. Worth even less here. Why on earth would someone spend $20k on the same car in Indiana than they could buy for $7k after shipping and a plane ride from the bay area? Just nonsensical.

I tried to help my neighbor sell his '79 last year and got no interest whatsoever at $5k, for a driver that needed work. Looked around, found a whole spectrum of cars in various conditions, none of which were selling for even close to $20k. I just have no idea why anyone would pay that much for a basic worst of the breed Camaro.
