The Unheard of Muscle Car Sale
A Muscle car sale, how could that be true? Who would put a muscle car for sale at a discounted price? This is close to being a sin. With the demand so high a discount price is unheard of. For most places I have found that sell muscle cars the price is far from a sale price.
I did find a 1968 Chevy big block Camaro for only $24,500 and another Camaro for $23,500 with the RS option, but that is about as cheap as I could find for a car that ran and was nicely restored. I kept looking and noticed that the lower range of prices for muscle cars were mostly Camaro’s. I loved that car. It was fast and slick with all the power one would want. But then I remembered how many were made.

I know supply and demand drive the market place of everything that is sold including muscle cars. I was disappointed in 2002 when Chevrolet discontinued production of this iconic pony car. There were four different generations of this car until it was discontinued. The first two generations were my favorites. The only draw back to owning one was the frame or lack there of one. They were unibody with only a subframe.
Yes do you remember like me seeing all those Camaro’s going down the street with a twisted frame and the front and rear tires not aligned. Most car lovers that I knew back then had the frame extensions put in to prevent this, but not everybody did so.
I was so glad when Chevrolet brought the Camaro back and for the first time I am grateful for the transformer cartoon. Yes when it was made into a movie and the car named Bumble Bee was such a hit, the management at GM took noticed and the Camaro was reborn.
So I kinda see muscle car sale now but not really.
