1969 Chevrolet Camaro review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several minor repairs had to be done, such as changing the thermostat gasket, fixing bad wiring, and changing the pinion seal on the rear.
However, the big one was the transmission rebuild that was needed due to the fact that the previous owner left the filter in for 175,000 miles.
Excluding regular maintenance and performance upgrades, about $300 was spent on parts and tools for repairs.
General comments?
You will not be able to find a better car for your money. I paid $4,500 for mine and have been driving it a lot with very little money being spent on maintaining it, sometimes driving it on long trips of up to 1,000 miles without any problems.
The engine has enough power so that with the TH350, tires spin when it shifts from 1st to 2nd, and yet still manages to get 15 miles per gallon on the highway.
