my first car that i owned was a 1977 red camaro. god was it terrible! i got the car from the original owner in 1985. huge chuncks of the body had allready fallen off from rust. what didn't fall off was fiberglass panels. the vinyl on the seats tore if you looked at it sideways. it wasn't a money pit tho, just routine maintence. how did it happen that such a great carline could go bad so fast?
