I was thinking about using this fine customized cartruck for Project Car Hell , but gave up when I realized that nothing could possibly compete with it. Yes, folks, it's a genuine Roly Fernandez-built 1988 Camaro with dual rear axles and a truck bed that will laugh at standard lumber sizes, and all for a starting bid of just $1,500! Sure, it's maybe not quite as nice as it was when it first left Roly's shop, but how hard could it be to fix up the "Long Gone?" Imagine the Super Dorifto Potential with this thing!

When you run a dairy farm, heading out to the driveway and laying eyes upon a boring old nonfat '86 Camaro in plain white is just plain unacceptable . Clearly, the only option is to decorate it with Holstein spots, then do the upholstery to match and pile a bunch of stuffed cow toys in the back seat (we'd add a freshly severed Holstein head to the hood, but that's just us). Now the creator of the Cowmaro has decided to sell- in spite of getting a feature in Camaroworld - and the bid price is sitting at a totally reasonable $3,000! The T-tops leak (a statement as unnecessary as "the engine block is heavy"), the ignition key is stuck in the switch, and so on, but who cares? Cowmaro! Thanks to Thunder for the tip.

newVideoPlayer("/89_Camaro_494.flv", 506, 423,""); Why did the Berlin Wall go crashing down in 1989? Some might try to confuse you with all sorts of economic or political gibberish, but the answer is actually real simple : the third-generation Camaro destroyed the Evil Empire's will to live! Look at the triumphant American Camaro owners in this ad- with 230 horsepower (that is, for those who bought the IROC; the base V6 had 130 horses) at their command, victory was theirs!

newVideoPlayer("/83_Camaro_476.flv", 506, 423,""); Whether you were grabbing a gear with the 190-horse IROC- oh, wait, you couldn't get the manual transmission with the Tuned Port Injection 305- or experiencing the joys of leaky rubber seals with your Berlinetta's T-tops, the 1985 Camaro let you live it! The glitchy VHS recording just makes this ad that much more Eighties, we think.

You're proud of your Malaise Camaro (and who wouldn't be?) but you want it to stand out from the crowd? Head on up to Windsor, where a mere pittance of one hundred Canadian dollars will get you this 1977 Camaro hood with custom Road Warrior airbrush mural. That's right, you're looking at a signed 1985 work by Ivan of Cosmic Studio here. There's some rust and paint chipping, but the plastic scoop is just fine. Thanks to Hoser Dave for the tip!

When I posted the DOTS Bonus Edition Abandoned Oakland Camaro , I wasn't prepared for all the emails I got pleading with me to add third-gen GM F-bodies to the Eligible For DOTS list. I'm still not 100% convinced they belong in DOTS proper, because they're still pretty common even in rusty parts of the country, but we'll give it a shot for today (and those of you who wish to make your feelings known on this important issue can go ahead and vote in the poll below the gallery). I picked this '89 RS, which was parked near the Bay in Alameda's West End, because it's so, well, Eighties . The Rally Sport designation had become more or less meaningless by the time George Bush Senior took office... oh, wait- it was always pretty much meaningless. Seeing the USS Hornet (and San Francisco) in the background reminds me that the Camaro was once the car to have for sailors stationed at Alameda's now-closed Navy base. You spent 9 months at sea in the Enterprise or Coral...

Frankly, we're puzzled by the drama played out in this ad for the '85 IROC-Z Camaro. There's a chiseled blonde helicopter cop obsessively following an equally chiseled, equally blonde IROC-Z driver, who scrupulously adheres to the 55MPH limit. Then they meet up in some sort of macho non-showdown in a methlab-esque desert town. Wait, are they the same man? Hey, don't worry about the plot- just listen to the heartbeat of America!

Sure, the Dead Milkmen references we all use when we're talking about the Chevy Camaro are fun and all, but "Bitchin' Camaro" is obviously about a third-generation Camaro. Recognizing that Friday's Tiny Bitchin' Camaro was modeled after a second -gen F-body, it becomes clear that what we really need to do is decide on the song that best speaks for the weltanschauung provided by the 1970-81 Camaro , particularly the later Malaise Era examples. So, we've selected some songs we think might be appropriate... and you get to vote! Remember, no irony is permitted with second-gen Camaros, which means no punk stuff makes the cut (though we realize Joan Jett edges into punk territory, the song we present here comes straight from her inner Camaro driver and thus qualifies). Since the pinnacle of second-gen-F-body-ness was reached when they were new enough to be common, yet old enough to be cheap, we're focusing on the mid-70s to mid-80s here. We're drawing from a pool of songs you might hear in a...

This ad for the '86 Camaro may be a contender for Most 80s Car Advertisement Ever, though of course GM raised that bar pretty high with their other F-body ads of the era. Hair Product! Pastel colors! Chlamydia! 305 small-blocks!
