Ok so what year did the 3rd gen camaros start???
 

So my dad and have this on-going argument about when the 3rd gen camaro started. I think that they started in 81? when they got boxy, but he swares the the 3rd gens started in 74, could someone help me win this argument:lol:

niether it was 82 haha

the 3rdgens started in 82 and ended in 92.

Ya I couldnt remember which year they started, but I know that I was right HAHAHAHA

By model year:
1: 67-69
2: 70-81
3: 82-92
4: 93-02

If you go by build date vs. model year then you are correct.

:knock: 82!!!!

I remember when Hot Rod magazine had a brand new '82 Z28 on the cover, and called it the best Camaro EVAH!!!

damn that was like...eleventy billion years ago...you OLD!

he was thinking of the significant body style change between 73 and 74, while they were still both 2nd gens, the style changed quite a bit in 74 and again in 78.

You're semi correct, they may have actually started in late 1981 but as 1982 models. :) :tta:



True. :se: And what some people may not know, there was no Z28 in '75 or '76. :x
The Mustang was Pinto based, no Z28s, low compression ratios with bad catalytic converters and air pumps...man those were some seriously DARK times.
It's really good to be a car right now, hope it lasts.

Thanks for helping me win this argument!!:rofl: :lol: :nod:
