Don't lynch me, but I have to admit I was actually looking for a 69 Camaro when I stumbled across my Firebird. It was cheap, so I settled.
Of course now that I own it, if I ever choose to sell it, I'll have to settle for less $$ and a harder sell than if it were a Camaro. Such is the price you pay for the up-front savings...
Truth be told, I prefer the looks of the Firebird over Camaro anyway. Particularly the front end. And I admit it's nice pulling into a car show and being one of one, or one of very few, rather than one of FIFTEEN Camaros. (Although the IRONY of the fact that my next door neighbor happens to own a 68 Firebird Vert also just KILLS me).
I'm less enamored with how these Pontiac motors seem to be a more specialized thing and are more expensive to rebuild/replace/modify compared to the dime-a-dozen Chebby motors.
Nothing anyone here hasn't heard 500 times before...
