3. ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ (1982) – 1979 Camaro Z/28
A classic Camaro in a classic scene in a classic film. The 1979 Camaro Z/28 was powered by a 350 small block that made 175 horsepower.
This hot car was naturally owned by the football star in the film. But Sean Penn’s character quickly wrecks it but doesn’t freak out because his dad is a TV repairman with an ultimate set of tools so he can fix it.
