Not entirely LS related, but it’s still kinda a cool. It’s easy to think of the entire F-Body line-up as an America-only affair. I mean, Europe never took to the whole gas-swilling, straight-line-devouring, colossal v8, sports car trend like America. Oddly enough, Iran did. That might sound strange considering the modern political climate, but prior to the […] More »

That’s crazy quick. The COPO Camaros have quite a reputation to live up to. The original models back in ’69 […] More »
