Modified 2nd Generation Junkyard Camaro Makes Us Weep
F-Body Camaro seems to have found its way to the junkyard after suffering some damage, but it was previously loved and enjoyed.
If you find yourself trudging through junkyards often, I am sure you have encountered a car that caught your eye for one reason or another. It’s always a tad painful as a car enthusiast to see a vehicle that was well cared for rot away while random strangers pull parts off of it. Then again, it is a bit redeeming that parts of the car will live on. No matter which side of the argument you stand on, we can all appreciate this junkyard find.
Youtuber Classic Ride Society consistently posts videos of cool cars he finds in the junkyard. In this one, he takes us on a tour of a purple re-sprayed 1981 Camaro. The year 1981 was the final year of the second-gen Camaro, and it looks like this addition to the yard was relatively recent, as it still has active registration. It sadly has a fair bit of damage to the driver quarter panel. Likely, that is how it got to “No Man’s land.”
Clearly, this isn’t the finest paintwork to ever grace a classic car. The original paint still stands where the spoiler belongs. The wheel choice is not to everyone’s taste, and the fenders have holes in them as if it’s missing a set of flares.
One of the most interesting parts of this video is the comment section. In the video, our narrator shows the car’s cowl tag and VIN. In response, one comment went on a deep dive of what options the car is equipped with, its original color, its interior color, and even its original build location. It’s always cool to have someone who can decode vehicle IDs around!
All good things must come to an end. This Camaro is no exception, but it’s still a little hard to witness. If you would like to see the abundance of other cars featured in these videos, click through the channel! There is lots of cool stuff in there.
