mine was a wrecked 2001 WS6.... bought it from a salvage yard in PA and repaired it at my dads shop..

69 Camaro conv. That was a fun car but the 6 cyl engine was boring so we swapped in a 307, just as boring. I sold the car so I could buy a 68 SS396 conv. That car was a handfull!

1986 2.8 5 speed camaro NICE

slugger27nj 02-01-2006 08:16 AM

Mine was a black 78 Camaro Berlinetta with a straight 6. It handled like a bus and my riding mower could easily take it off the line :grampsch: but it sure did look good. I only had it for about 10 months before I got my first new car, a red 89 Z24.

Untamed 02-01-2006 08:30 AM

The 85 Camaro in my sig. Jumped railroad tracks like a champ! The oil pan and bell housing weren't pavement friendly though. :lol:

79' buick regal 2 tone paint white & gray primer...hence my reason of not being a huge GN/ttype fan even though they are fast.

Any of you youngsters ever drive a car with three~on~the~tree???

Teds89IROC 02-01-2006 11:17 AM

First car was a 1992 Camaro RS 3.1L V6, quesar blue, hardtop, auto. My dad bought it wrecked (smacked up in the front) and fixed it for me. I wish I coulda kept it when I bought the iroc, it was a reliable car, only problem I ever had with it was the coolant switch. As for the iroc, bought it totaled from a friend and repaired it at the body shop I was working at.

you know better than to ask a question like that. i drove a ford pickup with 3-on-the-tree when i was 13. we (him, me and my pop) were out cutting down trees and the truck's owner wanted to be sure i could get them outta there should there be an accident. circa 1977.

Once, and it was a customer’s car. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. It was an old lady’s car and I now forget what it was.

A guy I knew in high school has a falcon wagon. It was different all right. :)

Yup...I grew up next to a farm (I practically lived there), and they had a Ford P/U with 3 on the tree that I used to drive around the property when I was real young. I learned how to drive when I was 8 on their 56 Chevy Step-side.

Yeah I sure did. My dad had a 50 Chevy 4 door I drove with a three on the tree. That was about 5 years or so ago, before I had my license.

My dads old 86 chevy fullsize pick up was a 4.3/three on the tree combo. not very fun to drive :lol:
