Closer you look, better it looks too. HO 305 with five speed in 83, that was the good one back then. Curious to see if it would sell at that price?

That's a clean looking camaro. The asking price is a bit much imho. The thing that caught my eye was the speedo. I've never seen one like that before.

Yes it was. A friend of mine bought a new one back in '83, and he has many stories of beating 350 powered cars. Local cars of course. And one of his friends had a 400 in a Chevelle and the '83 could stay with him.

What do you mean by that? Are you talking about the "Z28" emblem on the ground effects behind the front tires? didn't realize that was rare.

So that’s what my car looked when it was practically new . Also I didn’t know those emblems are rare? I have 2 of them on my car the rear bumper one broke the Chevy emblem part broke off so it just says Z28.
