Notice the license plate? I found this beaut in Ketchican while traipsing about the rain forest. My wife and I were on a cruise that stopped there. Within minutes you can hike from the dock up onto the face of a coastal mountain. This 25th Anniversary Edition was parked along the way. There was as much humidity
inside the car as outside. The guy in the picture said he knew the owner. He, too, claimed to have owned a Camaro once. "Yep! It was the fastest car I ever owned," he bragged. F-bodies were the workin' man's Corvette and they occupy a sacred spot within the hearts of their owners. That's why they just can't send their aged and ailing Camaro or Firebird to the crusher.

It is true they don't die, they just become very expensive to own.
Since these are cult cars, there are lots of parts available and they are much less costly than trying to keep an exotic car alive. Camaros and Firebirds in good shape are holding their value very well. It's ironic that the poor man's Corvette may actually increase in value. People invest in these like they were their children.
