Old Camaro Better Than New
Hey Everyone
Yesterday I finally put the finishing touches on my 1986 IROC-Z. Now that the Car is totally complete, I can take a step back and admire the the beauty of my car. Then I think back to all the time and effort I put into the car, the problems I solved and the events that have passed. Then I look at the total cost of the car, that would be about $11 325 dollars Canadian (about $5700 American) So now I have an old Camaro that is better than new and cost less then a new Hyundia. The point of all this is that restoring any Third Gen car is the best thing that anyone who is a Fan of RWD V8 performance can do.
