My 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic Brougham weighs 3750, so not much difference. I always liked 2nd Gen Firebird's way more and so did the Market. Have these gone up in value or are they still worth half as much as a Trans Am?
Anyone play with 2nd gen camaro's ?

I think it would be a good candidate. They’re not light. But they’re easy to make work and there’s a ton of parts available. Frame connectors, with a cage and cal tracs and you’re done.
I have a set of CE subframe connectors, new in box, taking up space. Come get them.
I have been selling off my stash of 2nd gen Firebird stuff for several years now. A guy from Brooklyn needing door glass came with a '71 Camaro his Dad had passed on to him. It had a 454 and was a typical NYC sleeper. In primer, but a well built solid car. I loved it. I never knew they used the same 1rst gen radiator mount-to-fender braces while the Firebirds used those big heavy steel slabs. Other small differences make some parts unique. I still lean towards the Firebirds and I have a 455 that would look great in a rust-free car if I could afford one.
Car has frame connectors on all ready with traction bars,car has th350 with a small converter ,guy bought it for the big block that was in it
Well if you go for it let me know. I’ve set up a few leaf spring cars. My friend had a 69 camaro that we did and I had a 70 ss nova.
Well just sold the other somerset I bought so I'ma go look at it again with a buddy get a closer look at it ,my 400 4 speed drive train should be fun in that car or leave the th350 that's in it ,it ran 10.30s in my regal should be able to do the same in the Camaro

About 3200 lbs. Actually not bad when you compare the weights of newer cars Today. For example the gross weight of a Hyundai Accent is on average 3500 lbs. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a Camaro. I would check the rear frame rails. The car is not a full unibody. Only the rear. The front is a sub frame cradle. The other advantage is there are plenty of reproduction parts available.

I see 3600 pounds plus for a 1980 V8 car. No that isn't terrible compared to new cars. My V6 AWD Challenger is 4100. The RWD V6 is 3800 and the V8 is around 4000 pounds. The current Camaro is a similar weight to this 2nd gen. It also only seats four, has useless trunk and is more homely than even the gaudiest 2 gen with with all its 70's plastic goodness.
Well pretty sure me and the girlfriend got covid so sh*ts on hold for a few days til we get results ,so video games and crown royal for now 😂😂😂
