Ive recently come across and 87 camaro with a 305. only things wrong with it are the steering column and doors are bent. My max has been slowly working to its death part by part. if i buy this camaro, $400, i will be selling the max but what do you guys think? keep the max and pay for all the maintnance or buy the camaro and pay for its.

if you were in an area that saw snow, I'd say keep the max.
but without snow you will be dollars ahead maintenancewise with a camaro. The only part that would cost more is the front rotors, EVERYTHING else will be cheaper and more readily available

Spending money on visual, and making a conscious decision of painting the wheels bright blue, or black are two completely different things...


The point of this thread wasss....

Wait, perhaps you should rephrase your last post. It didn't make much sense to me reading it over.

god, you could pick up ANY color of spray paint for like $4 and they would look better than bright blue. I painted my old VE wheels black since they looked like they were sitting at the bottom of an acid filled lake.

I dont know about using the camaro as a sole everyday car... not to say you cant but imo i wouldnt. My 97 LT1 is very reliable (probably the most dependable out of all 3 vehicles i have) but i just hate driving it everyday probably because im more paranoid and avoiding parking lot scratches and not driving it in the rain. The 305 is a dog of a motor too, but if maintained well they can still be reliable and parts for it are more common thus readily available and decently cheaper than the average foreign car parts. I like the 3rd gens (camaro), but only particularly the clean 91-92s.

This goes without saying but if you live in a snow prone area in the winter, forget driving the camaro in that
