Nice!

A top gen 3 convertable is definately on my shortlist if/when I sell my 71.

Don't think the wheels suit it though, in fact I think he should sell them to me

Nice looking Camaro. Have to agree re the wheels though....they are more suited to an older generation of yank.
Makes a nice pair of motors when parked up next to the Cerb.

I had those Cragars on my 70 fastback Mustang and think they look smashing, make sure you keep them clean though, I left mine for a short time one winter and the salt from the road trashed them.

I intially thought the same.I did tell him to fit the originals,as i think they are the ony wheels that suit them.But he quite liked them.To be honest ive got to like them now.

Although it IS a nice looking camaro how could you even consider swapping it for a 71? i have a 70 and half and the character that those cars have just cant be replaced with newer models?

I bought my 3rd gen IROC as it was the only yank i liked that would fit in the garage i had at the time, i dont like Fox Mustangs and didnt want all the Knight Rider jokes with a Trans Am, so i went for the Camaro, and even though i love it to bits, i would prefer something older. I have now moved house and my purpose built garage will be done this year, so i should be able to fit something bigger in!!

Actually, looking at the pictures again I'm starting to like them a good bit better; I can see how you'd get used to them and I certainly wouldn't get rid of them out of hand. Tyres look fairly wide - are they 275s.

Hey your brother (or whoever owns the cerbera) lives just down the road from me (Catford right?)

I always slow down to have a good look at the Cerbera. Nice cars.
