I agree. Not much American iron from the malaise era I am interested in.

But.... if a 77 Z/28 came along for the right price, I would still consider it. For me, it meant GM wasn't "giving up" on performance. Yes, pretty anemic compared to pre-1973, and especially compared to today. But, it was the beginning of something special, where they decided you could do performance and comply with emissions. Rudimentary for certain, but within a few years, once computers and injection took over... wow.

Hate the giant bumpers, but at least the car doesn't look as bloated as the early 80s Camaros.
