My parents had a 1954 Country Sedan in the same color combination. BTW, nice Levi's Jeans you're wearing.

I agree best generation Camaro. I love the full bumper instead of the split bumper

What company would you recommend for interior? seats - carpet - door panels?

My favourite fun car....In 1980 my TR8 stayed with me for over 10yrs driving in Uk / Canada / USA ....no problems....just great handling and fun with space to tour and golf. I had more fun in it than my Jensen, Jags, Ferrari. I would like to find one again ( Vancouver, BC.)

Standard bumper is the best! I have a 79 Camaro Sport Coupe with a 305 automatic. Nothing special, but I love it. I've had it for almost a year now.

Wow! Those TR8’s are awesome! 👍🏻

I saw the NPD dash pad box!!! I work there that’s awesome!! 💪🏾

I second that comment above. That must have been SO much fun!

I'm a big fan of your career, Mike. You've been a passionate, friendly voice of knowledge in motorsports for my entire adult life (I'm no spring chicken). I happen to fully agree with you on your favorite car. I own a pretty sweet 1970 Camaro SS 396 ... and it's got a straight bumper, too 😉 Do you remember the 1976 film The Gumball Rally? Well, I built my own version of that car.

Anything built by gm in 1970 makes me horny !!

my brother bought a new 1973 Camaro, from my little kid memory, it was white with blue stripes, and had blue interior, think it was a Type LT, he only has it for a few months, because he traded it in after it needed a fifth warranty repair in just like four months, he made the trade-in deal when the Camaro was still on the rack for a new Monte Carlo

You was friends with Benny Parsons

Always my favorite to,shesa beaut. Thank God the spoilers not cut down. Never liked or understood why. It's like pulling It's fangs

The memories priceless

I WANT ONE !!!

A unique simple and interesting car, fun to own. I bought one new in 1978, had it for 11 years. Love another Triumph!

❤ Hi Mike... your story sounds much like mine. First car was a 71 RS Z28... traded on a new 79 Z28... hated the performance so I went a week later to buy it back at the dealership. It was pulling out as I was a block away...SOLD. later that summer I found a 72 RS Z28 ... cream yellow, black stripes and deluxe black interior. M22 with a 4.11 posi. Its been 45 years and I still own the car today. Love your NASCAR announcing...never knew you were a second gen Camaro fan.

Now that car is worth tens of millions of dollars😫😭😭😭

camaro body style vs mustang body style: first gen, both great second gen, camaro for me third gen, camaro for me fourth gen, camaro for me after that, mustang wins the rest

I prefer the 4cylinder more than the v8. The sound of this v8 that it makes does not fit the car at all. I liked my 4 cylinder , it drove just fine and plenty of power without the drama. The dash and body styling is a timeless design, love it. Spider was a good looking package. I think in white, it looks the best.

I owned a 1960s El Camino and it was powered by a 235 ci inline 6 cylinder engine and was surprisingly a strong little engine many times running a 100 +MPH and it handled great.

The dash and door glass is an absolute mother of a project. It will drive a detail driven mechanic bananas.

I'll admit it's a fine "Vanity Plate," but I have a contender: a champagne with 'Gold Package,' 1985 El Dorado "Biarritz" (Steel Top) with a tag that says SLPNFAL.

I'm from Springfield ma ❤

70-73 R the most beautiful to me, 74 was the beginning of the end 😅 The same thing goes for Firebirds too

That white and blue letter plate didnt last long in CT. They fadly faded and were discontinued

Owned 3. Loved them

How did I just now find out you have a RUclips channel? Hello, Mike! Hello Scott. Nice to meet you!

I want a hardtop.

Before we get too judgy, how many 1975 to 1980 Korean or Japanese cars do we see? How many American cars? 1984 1994 2004 cars get crushed

OK I'm jealous. Mine was 59 biscayne 2dr red over white straight six. Always wanted what you have though .❤

I have a 1980 TR8 very rare original coupe and love the drive. Installed an electric power steering kit and it really made a difference in the performance.

Beautiful !

This styling is very similar to the Vega in my opinion. Both designs are aesthetically appealing.

I currently have a 72 Camaro SS 350 Auto with A/C fully restored. Not a RS. I absolutely hate when people refer to the RS Camaros as split bumper cars. I graduated high school in 73 and grew up in my teenage years when these cars were new. I had a 72 SS Nova I bought new in April of 72 and my buddy across the street had a regular 72 Camaro. We were into hot rodding our cars and helped each other work on them all the time. Back then no one called the RS Camaros split bumper cars. It was just the RS option you could get on any Camaro. It's like fingernails on a chalk board when I hear someone refer to them as split bumper cars. The only thing worse is someone putting the RS bumpers on a non RS Camaro front end. IMO the full chrome bumper just looks so much better and less nose heavy. I'm a little disappointed you didn't show what's under the hood of the one in the video.

I have 70 rs z28 needs assemble would you willing to make happen

That's way beyond cool Mike.

Sounds like something I would have done.

Is that a 5712 in a Datsun? A man after my own heart

Nice ride , get the car lowered some to get rid of those w see heel gaps above rear tires , that would drive me nuts

Wonderful page. I've been listening to you my entire life Mike, thanks for all the memories buddy. I'm looking forward to more in the future.

Why aren't you folks...his friends...and ones who are financially well off, helping him to not lose his home...!....Do you folks really care about your friend..? And moreover, it appears Craig Jackson hasn't paid him what he deserved all these years...why isnt he donating a small part of his millions to help Steve..? Evidently he couldn't even afford good medical insurance with all that he's done for Barrett-Jackson and this hobby....That's beyond reprehensible....!!!! What kind of financial support are you all donating to your friend..!!!

Fiesta Red is also a color that was used by Fender Guitars, as was that surf green one in the back. They wanted the guitars to look like the cars of the time. I think they're lovely colors, but I'm not sure they would work on modern cars. Save it for the classics.

Iv got a 1970 1/2 which had the 305 ci the one they raced against the under 5 ltr cars at Daytona it’s in Australia now so it’s converted to right hand drive and has a 4 speed Muncie iv put a 383 ci engine in and it goes like a scalded cat it’s a dream to drive

We got you bro 🙏

You're a living legend Mike, keep up the great work! Would love to see a "behind the scenes" of the FOX booth!

My forth grade teacher drove a Jaguar XK120 for most of the school year. I admired it while out for recess every day. I really loved it but then one morning she parked a blue and white 1960 Impala convertible. Her husband had traded in my dream car for a brand new car. You brought back the memories. Thank you sir.

What an awesome story, that is a treasure with Ken Miles… thank you for sharing that! The P-38 That your father was in development with …was one of my all-time favorite aircraft. I grew up in aviation, my Dad has been a Certified flight instructor since 1970. I worked in the Aerospace industry, contracted in R&D testing for Lockheed-Martin, on the F-22 and F-35 Programs. I had no idea your father worked for Lockheed. The next time I see you at one of the FORD events, I will have to talk to you about it. My Dad (84 years young)… is still a certified CFI. He and I, were at the 60the Mustang celebration at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We were also at the Fillmore for the FORD Performance 2024 preview. We Saw you at both places. You’ve had such a great lifetime story. Mike I love your channel, And everything you’ve done for car racing, and the industry! You’re a legend in my book!

My father had a coupé TR8 that I was able to drive on many occasions, his was an early car and had no badging only the glove box 'TR8' and dual exhaust gave it away. Sneaky car in the early 1980s as it was very quick compared to anything modern back then. Very much like a British Corvette as many people called it. Top speed was just North of 130 mph which very few new cars could do in 1981. I have fond memories of driving it through the Catskills with my dad. I miss him and the TR8, but still have the memories <3 Thanks for the video.
