1983 SC

Hi there, just thought I'd throw out some pictures of my first car, a red 83 sc.


I bought it for $1100, which I thought was a good deal.

I don't know much about cars, but I'm willing to learn and I've already learned a few lessons (the starter fell on my head when I was replacing it )



Let me know what you guys think, suggestions, comments, whatever!

Looks good for the price
I would take off that hitch as soon as possible. It officially is a classic and no need to worry about emissions which is a plus

It could be worse than the V-6. The base engine was the 4-cyl Iron Duke in '83. My ex-wife had an '83 "Iron Puke" Firebird back in the day, and that engine was a total turd.

I'd say this Camaro is a very nice car for $1,100. Nice find.
