From the very first day that I had my 1st '69 Z-28 I loved the "old" muscle cars and still do today but one ride in a "new" muscle machine and the new fangled gadgets get your attention and you're hooked ..............Its really a hard choice .

The 69 Camaro was one of the nicest looking cars that GM ever produced. The current Camaros (COPO or not)..........................:confused:

March issue of Car Craft has a nice article on the new COPO Camaro with a picture of Jim Boburka standing by his car

The technology and performance of the new Camaro is outstanding. That being said, I don't believe I have even seen a car quite as ugly as the new Camaro. Big, fat, wide, tall and way too heavy. Not very attractive in my book. The styling of the early car was perfect. Guess if I was forced at gunpoint to own a Camaro, it would be the old.

Got me thinking now Jack....First i would buy the new Camaro and sell it for the 50 grand profit and then purchase a 69 Camaro with my profit off new Camaro and then go back and buy another new Camaro and have the best of both worlds......Bif if and that is "IF" i had that kind of money. A man can still dream.....
