Talking look what I found on the FOB

This car belongs to one of the local nationals that works at one of the shops on our FOB

it has a very rare option "FULL INJECTION"


you should also notice that it is flying the bird at the top of the windshield


and here is a nice shot of the pass side


pretty cool to actually see a camaro over here though. I have also seen a 95 impala SS and there are lots of chevy and GMC tow trucks out on the street

those side badges look like ones from the thunderbirds from the mid 90's.

I have to agree since it looks like they put t-bird logo's on the doors too.

Still pretty cool to see it over there. Nothing that cool here in Afghanistan, mostly beat up old Honda's and stuff.

i remember seeing that in the city on patrols back in 2006. i think there also a white camaro rolling around too. mosul has tons of tri-fives that they use for taxi's, but are complete rust buckets.

I haven't seen any tri-fives but have seen a few 60's cars here and there that where in ok shape. lots of caprices running around as taxi's. got lucky today and got to help an Iraqi put a cv joint on his car. it was fun brought back some memories. will post a pic later.

I saw a 4th gen in the green zone. It's was parked outside the greenzone cafe before it got blown up by a suicide bomber. I've got the pics somewhere. It was a black one. Had part of the green zone cafe on top of it and I think the owner got blown up inside the cafe.
Attached Thumbnails look what I found on the FOB-poor-car.jpg

You should have jacked the taillights. Easy $300-400 on Ebay

that's so wrong, but it was my first thought, too.

9silverbird8 - Those mirrors are the export mirrors. Not sure if all export Camaros got them or only for certain countries.

The mirrors were like that on 4th gens in Japan too.

A lot of vehicles had fold up mirrors there though, must be the space issue or for bicyclists or something.

I used to see a green 4th gen running around in 05. It almost made me feel as if i was home then i realized it was 140 and i was in a 12k pound humvee with a .50 cal.
