82 Camaro Z28 Pacecar at no reserve.

Sold for $23,500 on Friday the 13th. The buyer said it best: "Not fast but still a cool car."

I have driven a couple of these back in the day, and they just felt like such slugs. There are lots of cars I don't MIND being slow. I know my 69 Opel GT 1.1 is slow. My 49 Studebaker farm truck is slow. Even Sherri's plug in hybrid is slow, and we use it as a commuter car.

But this is a freakin PACE CAR. I don't care if it is low mileage, I would have to put a proper mill in it to be able to enjoy it. Really, all the GM cars from 76 until Buick came out with the GNX are just turds. I realize some are climbing in value because guys that were in HS in 1983 or 84 really wanted (XXX car, fill in the blank) when they first came out. I just don't see them ever competing with real muscle cars. And yes, I know that the "real muscle cars" can't do jack chit compared with the modern stuff.

This car is 39 years old. Think about what a 69 Z/28, L78, or COPO was worth at the same age (2008). Okay, maybe go back to 2007. Other than the appearance, the only thing this car has over a 69 is that it would handle better; which is why I would have to put a real motor in it.
