Kenny B Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Here is my 81 Camaro Z28 that I used to own for about 15 years. I ended up selling her to a guy that wanted to restore it. When he left he did a nice little second gear chirp and I never saw her again. I miss that car, but was she ever hard on the fuel. All the pollution control junk was taken off and had a nice lumpy cam that crused along nice in 3rd gear. It was sure fast off the line but would red line at about 95 mph. It did have a 350 4 speed duel exhaust big pipes. Iscared myself a few times being young and stupid. Boy I sure miss my old car as many might relate. I built a model of her about 11 years ago to remember the old times. The closest year I could find was a 79. I changed the hood to reflect an 81 but didn't change the vents on the fenders. Other than that I don't think there was any other changes that GM did between 79-81. The kit sure needs alot of help under the hood it was like Revell forgot all about that part of the kit. Maybe one day I will redo under the hood to make it just right. Did I say I miss my old Car. Thanks for looking..... Did I say that I sure miss my old Car.

Danno Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Very nice! Good job. I had a '78 . . . wish I still had a '78! Loved that car, had a lot of GREAT times with it. But, the Lovely and Gracious Mrs. B and I decided she had to go . . . the three kids and the dog, all in the back seat, just kept growing up and getting bigger.
