1985 IROC time capsule

While sniffing around Autotrader, I came across this extremely low-mileage Camaro. Would make a fine museum piece considering its undisturbed state.

It's a bad penny.

I think he's saying that, like a bad penny, this car keeps turning up in threads on here. It is a pretty cool story if you read the original thread on it.

bad penny

1. A bunk or fake penny.

2. A person or thing which is unpleasant, disreputable, or otherwise unwanted, especially one which repeatedly appears at a bad time.
A bad penny always comes back.


In other words, that stupid car will keep popping up as long as the ad and youtube videos are in circulation.
