Found an ad from 1991 with my car in it lol.

Neighbor owned the car before me for 10 years. Today I saw him and he tells me he has the ad he saw the car in. I was amazed that he had kept it all this time. So I scanned it and I thought I would show you.

It is a Dutch Miller ad that appeared in the local newspaper on March 24, 1991. I thought it was neat that its in there and that he kept it.

Went for a steller price of 7995$ with 34,000 miles on the clock.

Ad read:

"1988 Camaro RS Red/charcoal cloth, AT, AC, T-tops, power windows, power door locks, AM-FM stereo cassette, 34,000 local 1 owner miles. WAS $9995 NOW $7995 $148.00 per month"

In '92, I bought my 88 Camaro that was fully loaded, 19k miles and in immaculate shape for $7500. I thought it was worth it because of the condition and the options.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only Camaro models available in '88 were IROC and Sport Coupe.

THere were some RS's in 1988 but I think they almost all went to states like California ( can't remember any others)
