A subject near and dear to my heart. When I was in HS these were everywhere and then 10 years later they were all gone. I think 80 is the best year because it was the only year you could get the 350 four speed with the cowl inductor. Mine was brown with gold stripes. The one I've wanted for years is the dark blue with silver stripes. Hard to find with the four speed and the 350.

@alsancle Dark blue with Silver is the way to go here. But the brown doesn't look horrible.

You see a lot more of the 80-81 cars than the 77-79 for some reason. Obviously the one to have is the 70 1/2. But I like the late 80/81 cars also.

70.5 is the one to have but they are a lot more money for sure. Out of these, I think the orange car really pops.

My cousin at a 79 350 four speed in black. We used to beat the crap out of that thing. It was perky but not they way a 1970 musclecar would be.

@REORoyaleFan My REO friend, I also had a cousin with a Z28 but I think his was earlier. Had Z28 painted on the hood.

There are a bunch of Z28s and Camaros on the marketplace.
