1985 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta review from North America
"American muscle at it's worst"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the heater core.
It needs new head gaskets and valve cover gaskets.
The digital dash and odometer don't work, and the windshield wipers don't turn off.
Battery loses power if the keys are left in the ignition, even with everything off.
Car is extremely heavy and the engine is very very hesitant and sluggish.
General comments?
Car handles OK for being very heavy.
Interior is comfortable and in very good shape for being 18 years old.
Body in great shape with absolutely no rust.
For 2000$ I'm pretty sure I got ripped off, especially with what I've put into it.
At least a 2000 watt stereo system makes it sound good.
Overall it's an underpowered pile of crap.
