The Earthtone Cornhusker Special

It is amazing how people hold on to their f-body cars.  We discovered this Camaro at a motel in Nebraska.  I speculate that someone left it in lieu of paying the bill.    The color was perfect for sod-bustin'.  In Nebraska all you need is a pickup, a Camaro, beer, football, a dog, a wife. and crop subsidies.  Is there more to life than that?

 The flat tire was probably the only thing keeping it from tearing up the asphalt like in the good old days.  Hey!  It had three good tires.  The body looked pretty straight. and there didn't appear to be much rust.  The glass was okay and the mirrors and door handles were still attached.  No red tape over the tail lights neither.  (Gotta sound like a Cornhusker.)  With one tail pipe, this was probably a V-6 model.

 F-body cars really were almost as good as a wagon or hatchback.  Flip down the back seat and fill it up with stuff.  It's amazing how much can be carried, things like space-saver spares, groceries, old burger wrappers and pizza boxes, luggage, building materials, and whatever else you might imagine can fit under that huge piece of glass.  We hauled a big load of wedding gifts for some friends once in my red T/A.   The poor backseat cover in this car has seen too much sun, I'm a-frayed (Get it?)

 This car could be a decent restoration project.  I'll bet the owner would say, "It runs good.  I'm gonna fix-er up.  Gotta fix that flat first."
  We were traveling in the yellow Nissan Frontier you can see in the background. I told my son, "Stop, stop!  I gotta get a picture of that Camaro over there."
