It's sad that every time the guys do an article about, or mention the word Camero, they feel they have to explain why they did it.
I for one enjoyed the article on Terry's ride. It sucks that it, or noe else's rides made it in time for anti-tour, but it just goes to show that stuff does not always go the way you want it to when you do something you love.
Musclecars forever !!! Rice rockets never !!!!

I like what Terry did to his Camaro. I have 3 that need that, and more. But I think he must have put to much money into it for me, especially with the free company engine. I would like to see what he spent on it. He should list it. Are they going to do all the other cars in the mag? The new redo of the mag is cool, not alot of change.

I'm not a Camaro lover by any stretch of the imagination, but I did like McGean's. I hope he never gets around to painting it, though that satin black to orange fade look on the cover was pretty cool looking. Also add my voice to the chorus of dissapointment in the lack of cost-tracking(Hey, I just invented a word! Shades of DW!)

Yea, CAMAROCRAFT! Give me the breakdown on how much everything cost on Terry's camaro. MY 69 is wasting away in the garage with little hope of being reserrected. Maybe when I'm done playing with the 72 Vega next to it.
And the camaro bashing has to stop. Just because a guy with a (insert crappy car here) has a grudge against a favorite of many car dudes doesn't mean it should be ruled out of the mag.
later

terry's camaro is one of my favorite, and i would love to own it. even if i do bleed ford blue. it wasn't no perfect car to start with, and its still not perfect. yet somehow, that makes it seem perfect.
I wouldn't change a single thing about it. 1961 ford falcon- first car 1984 mercury capri

Well if you`re not a camero fan, they`re like door knobs. You see them every where& you you just get sick of looking at them. As far as crappy cars goes, anyone here seen the original Vanishing Point? At the end it wasn`t a Challnger they ran into the dozers- it was a camero. Even back in `71 they knew.

so they killed one camaro...big deal
in 1978-05 they knew..... can u say DUKES OF HAZARD!!!
lets see
one white camaro to hundreds of orange chargers...........
the guy that posted the vanishing point post..musta forgot about that t v show and upcoming movie... and what about the BLADE movie with the black charger how many of those died in those movies(there where 3!! so far) and I never saw it but wasn't a charger jumped/rolled etc in the fast and the stupid!!!!
thats right " EVEN IN 1971 THEY KNEW"
opps sorry,
look I like charges too.. so I hate it when they(movies/t.v.) kills cars that you can't get anymore... but chargers where a favorite for hollwood to use and kill for entertainment....
If it won't move,FORCE it,If it breaks, IT needed replacing anyways!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I forgot about the pukes of hazard completely. Only ever saw that show once. they destroyed a `71 GTX in that episode. I had a `71 GTX at the time. Pi$$ed me off so much I never watched the show again. THey did wreck a bunch of class mopars. The point I was trying to make was that those particular producers saved a mopar from a stunt and used a one of a bazillion cameros instead. If you want to point fingers at where a lot of great old cars went, try stock car- the bigest waste of good american iron PERIOD!

Seriously, Hollywood does seem to have a vendetta against Chargers, though Blade's dosen't get a lot of screen time, so I think it gets spared. Hell, I have a hard time watching movies if I know that a cool old car is going to get wasted. Seeing that sweet Skylark drive off of that bridge in Vanilla Sky nearly ruined that movie for me, especially when that character could have been driving anything and it wouldn't change the plot.

I liked the flat black 69 with the hockey stripes. It has me seriously contemplating scuffing the #### paint off of mine and spray bombing it flat black. An 80 Z in flat black with blue tri-color stripes... I get wood just thinkin about it.
