Firebird or Camaro

[AJAY]

Always preferred the handling (and the looks) of the Pontiacs. But what?! No convertible? ! ! !

Now let me tell you about the time I had a brand new Firebird convertible, flying down route 10 between Phoenix and Tucson.

in June,

top down, air conditioning on high,

radio blaring,

with a missile strapped into the back seat.

Really. I am not making this up.

It's a Firebird and it's blue....only problem is I don't think I can get my son to sell it.

I don't want to get him something that he would be too overwhelmed too quickly. He needs some pick up power but nothing radical... Thats why I was pleased when he said he was OK with a 6 cy.

It seems like he has his head on straight. The SS should be no problem. Soon he will outgrow it and will be ready for a Vette. Then you have to worry. Ohhh the stories I can't really talk about.

What she said. A good fox body in great condition can be had for that price. No offence to anyone, but the 4th gen Maro's and Firebirds fall apart. My daughter has a 94, so I can speak to this matter. Good luck with the search Cap, lots of good cars in that price range.

I have fixed the gen's for you since its NOT a 3rd gen... and the reason the car is falling apart has been underlined.

Ok all fun poking aside.. Cap both the firebird and camaro are great cars to have.. you can get a good one a bad one or a plain lemon like any other.

As my pale Twotone stated also.. a mustang is also a valid choice given you find a decent fox body.

Ill keep my eyes out down here for something and let you know.


I love my 3rd gen never had an issue with it for over 200,000 miles until I ripped the 305 out and dropped in a hopped up 350. but that is my own doing...

Your son got taste Cap... Thats for sure! I would need to flip a coin on this one!

I had a '86 Z28, then a '87GTA...both w/t-tops...both were great...both totaled...pretty much walked away from both. Z28 was ran off the road by a farm truck / trailer, passenger front tire left roadway, grabbed and taste tested big tree. GTA, an old guy (uninsured) decided to run a red light and park his el camino in my drivers door. brother in laws have 4th gen Z28s, have distributer problems on rainy days, neither are t-tops and the headliners fall down and a pain to work on compared to the mustangs. my '90 GT (had 15 years) minor probs, but easy to work on even though the f-bodies are bigger than the stangs, the stangs hold up pretty well too. the mustang has my vote.
