Future of GM and New Camaro

Re: Future of GM and New Camaro

the new mustang has sold over 165K units. why dont chevrolet build this car? I know they think the two door coupe market is dead. wrong just look at the ford numbers again! an now dodge has a new concept challenger.

but you can not do like they did with the GTO an SSR, they are just way to much money for the product. if ford can build a loaded mustang for under 30K GM should be able to do the same with a Camaro!

Have you seen that Concept Challenger

Have you seen the concept Challenger, very retro looking and very sharp. Kind of a similar look as that orange Camaro. It should be a hot seller if built.

Re: Have you seen that Concept Challenger

It certainly will. Just like the mustang.

Re: It's going to be delayed 2 to 3 years

There is an '84 Corvette pickup on eBay. Looks a bit like the Dodge Rampage from long ago.

It uses the '91-'96 bumpers and is a bit strange. It doesn't say, but I'm thinking it isn't on a Corvette chassis.

Here's the link

The rear view I like, the the front view is a bit strange.

that is NEAT i would like one to haul my ATV

and i could have fun blowing off corvettes at redlights like i did with my one pickup that had a aluminum headed 482 cu in BBC for power. mrs clem made me get rid of it because i had it durring the first gas crunch and at 6-8 MPG it was not to cheap to operate.

Re: that is NEAT i would like one to haul my ATV

The first gas crunch, you mean when gas got up to 50 cents a gallon? Pretty outrageous prices.

Re: that is NEAT i would like one to haul my ATV

i think it was around 1980 because i sold it and bought a new 1980 4 cylinder citation. my fuel bill was $400 a month before the citation

Re: that is NEAT i would like one to haul my ATV

There was a gas crisis?

In '80, I was driving a '76 3/4 ton Suburban to tow the race car trailer. I was autocrossing most weekends, and hauling a car out to road race about once a month.

Playing was driving a 427 Corvette.

Commuting 60 miles to main job, 50 miles to second job, 20 miles to school, and dating a girl 25 miles away from me.

I did drive a Vega to Ohio to visit my brother in college, though. Maybe there was a gas crisis.

That '84 Corvette pickup is definitely longer than a Corvette. What do you think, they hung the body on an S10 frame?

God, let's hope the "Committee" from Chevy

doesn't see it........

[Mark Milner]

Or Clem's post

If they see one post saying they'd like one, they would build it and then where will we be?

Re: that is NEAT i would like one to haul my ATV

my son was racing motorcycle hare scrambles back then so i used the citation with a 2 bike trailer on the back to travel to the races.we also did dirt bike trail riding at our place in north central PA that was a 200 mile each way trip and the citation would pull 25 MPG towing the trailer. got smarter in 1981 and bought a X-11 citation to tow with and the V-6 had more power but still go the same milage.

i would want a C-6 front end as i never cared

for the C-4s. i owned new el caminos back in 71 and 72 the problem was the bed was too short for the snowmobile so in 73 and later i moved to full size pickups but i got carried away in the late 70s with the 482 ci in one. i guessed i missed my corvettes, Z-28s and 70 450 HP chevelle
