1983 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta LT review from North America
"Slow, bad gas mileage, but smooth ride and a nice cruising car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A lot of things have gone wrong, but nothing major yet, just the lack of a good tune up.
Front brake line just blew up on me at 205,500 miles.
Transmission is starting to kick in and out of third gear really bad.
Rear end clucks when trying to go sideways on pavement.
Motor blows out a lot of blue smoke, but no rod knocks yet.
Rust is starting to get bad (fixed most of it).
When I first got the car, the passenger side window motor was locked up and the power locks did not work, but I converted to non power doors.
General comments?
The car is very slow, but still gets up and goes for being a small motor in a big car, and having over 200,000 miles and 23+ years of abuse.
But the thing I like most about the car is it handles good and is comfortable
