"Teen's first taste at Camaro greatness.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car was perfect. It lasted me almost 6 long hard years of drag racing and 1/4 trials. When I first got the car from my father, I replaced the driver seat. The engine received just very few tune-ups during its time under my ownership. Only time that I had problems was when we didn't change the front axles. They broke during a trip to Los Angeles. This camaro withstood over 16000 miles of abuse.

General comments?

This car was incredibly fast! My father used this car to defeat a supercharge 1988 Iroc-Z three times out of four in a 1/4 mile contest in Arizona. It had serious handling and could reach 60 in 5 seconds with the flow-masters and stronger camshaft.

16,000 miles of abuse. You must be proud of yourself.

My 1974 Camaro Type LT served me well for seven years and 125,000 miles. It gave an incredible smooth and quiet ride, and was reliable on my around-USA and Canada trip. Near its end, it sat low on the (tired) springs and someone told me my engine-front whobbled which, together with the on-going rust, was about time to depart from it. I wished I knew how to take good care of it to extend its life, but it was never abused. Peter from Canada.
