The last coupe years prior to 2020, I was driving this once or twice a week to work between April and November, about a 50 mile round trip.

Cool car. My Dad bought a 75 Cosworth from Nankevill Chevrolet in Indy new. It was chassis 638 I think. My brother bought it from him in the 80’s as his first car and still has it.

Talk about a sign of the times, look at the interest rate on the purchase order, Holy cow

GMAC took good care of me in 1979, my rate was 11 3/4 lol.

May 1989,I bought a brand new 5.7 liter IROC camaro,while a 2.9% GMAC interest rate was being advertised in the Dealerships window.
My local Bank was paying me 6% interest on my Savings account then too,so I financed the IROC through GMAC,to make 3.1% on the 18K I had for it in the Bank.
