I need some Ideas on a decision, Everyone can help with this Question!!!

After winter clears, During the start of spring, I plan on buying a different camaro. But I'm undecided on which one to choose.

A 1967 SS camaro, 1970-73, 79 z28, and 1991 or 1992 z28?

What I have heard from some of my buddies is that the first body's shake going at high speeds, is this true?

Another thing I have heard was about the 2nd body's, I got told they handle horrorible, is this true?

Now to the third gens, I know that the 1992 are the 25th cars, and I know they both have the same gfx which would be a better car to own??




I currently own a 1989 Rs All orginal 4th owner on it, T-tops 2.8L 225 hp, B&M MegaShifter Ratchet action.
Dynomax turbo Muffler, Crane PowerMax Emissions Legal Camshaft.

First Gen all the way.

You already have a 3rd gen, I'd just mod that to make it faster.. and get the 1st gen.

I had a '76 TA and that thing was a tank, most reliable car I've owned though.

I have pictures of all but the 73 Camaro, it is at my work in the back lot. The 69 is parked on the side of the house, the 91 and the Lexus are in the garage, and the Yukon is too damn big to fit in a garage, so it is left in my driveway.... I also have a 71 Blazer at my Dad's house.

Thanks guys... Back to the topic, First, second (70-73 is my pick) and third gens all look good to me. The 69 Camaro is my all time favorite. 91-92 Z28's come in close second. Here are a few examples....

i think thirdgens are the overalll best years for the maro and firebird. but if i had ot get an older one i would without a doubt get a 77 transam with the 6.6 403 big block with the shaker hood scoope. auto or manual. gotta be black like smokey and the bandit and pack some 4:10's out back. now thats some power.
