Well, there's ThirdGens that were right-hand ("aftermarket") converted for use outside of the US. This one is in Australia:


By the way, this is ThirdGen.org and we're strictly dedicated to the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (Third Gen F-Body).

Re: 79 right hand drive camaro Z28

I sold a 1970 Camaro to a guy back in 1972 who was here from Australia to buy newer American cars and ship them back to Australia. He told me that they were going to put the steering wheel and foot pedals on the right hand side since they are required to be that way. This one was probably brought back from another county where the traffic goes in opposite directions than here.

Ok it I guess I didn't realize that when I typed THIRDGEN.ORG. if you are a true muscle car enthusiest then you appreciate any year muscle car. I put this up because it was a unique car that I hadn't seen before and wanted to see if anyone else has. So with that being said I salute you for pointing out the obvious.

Re: 79 right hand drive camaro Z28

I suggest you read the Guidelines:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/anno....php?f=14&a=60

Specifically:

Stay on-topic to each specific board/post and discuss Third Generation (1982-1992) F-Bodies (Camaros and Firebirds) ONLY.
The Guidelines should be obvious as well!

Thank-you.
