Hey Fellas, I'm a Japanese sports car freak. I own a 2004 STi. BUT I never seemed to erase from my memory the day my uncle picked me up in a 1969 Camaro when I was 4 years old. Well, neither did my uncle. He finally found a 1968 Camaro project car and now I seem to be getting the Muscle Car fever too.

Welcome. I know that when you're out in the Camaro, it'll be a slightly different kind of fun than the STi. Both nice cars, by the way. Where ya from?

I live on Long Island NY. I love the STi but I am seriously thinking of getting a 68 Camaro.

Welcome aboard, Paul. Just think how fun the 68 will be to drive when you get it to handle like the STI. :thumbsup:

Hi Paul,

Not sure on the Camaro clubs, but there are a lot of shows/cruises to go to. Out here there is a Friday night get together on Peconic bay that starts up this weekend. I hope to make it there this week. What part of the Island do you live?

Hey I'm ready to trade the STi for a restored 68 Camaro. Let me know!



Jim, I live in Holtsville exit 62 on the LIE. Can you give me some info on this up coming show/meet? I would love to make it out.

I have a close friend here in MA that is interested in selling his pristene Black/black/black 68 SS with silver stripes and 4 speed. It's very stock looking but has a new hi-po 454 in it. I can PM you with pics and details if you're interested. I think he's asking $40K.

I'm interested but it's a little over my price range. Is the car appraised? Please PM the Pics and details.
