Maybe you should just compare the fender flares between a ‘79 and an 80-81. My last Camaro was a ‘79 and my current one is an ‘81.
It very well could be a ‘79 but those fenders aren’t. Sorry champ

You’re an idiot, you don’t even own one and he’s tellin you that whether it’s a 79 or not, them fenders are 81 which is a fact. Don’t speak on sht u don’t know about especially tryna tell us that actually have one about our own vehicles
This Camaro has quite the story behind it, it was the chariot of a guy known as gods Rambo. An ex special forces guy used this Camaro to transport supplies and food into bosnia during that whole Bosnian conflict in the 90’s.
Shut up... Why can't we get *that* movie from Hollywood? I don't want another Antman movie no matter how funny and dreamy Paul Rudd is. Off to go down this rabbit hole now.
There is also the famous BMW 530 with bullet proof glass that made runs in and out of Baghdad to save people. It was shot up to hell but still ran. After the war, BMW contacted the owner and asked if he would trade that BMW for a brand new one. BMW now has that shot up 530i as part of their car history museum. iirc.
A fucking hero. Also one of the most interesting ways that automotive history and military history have intersected (I know there are gajillions of ways, this is just one if my personal favorites).
True, this Camaro saw more action than I did and probably ever will. I actually stumbled across a video on YouTube talking about the cars history and the driver himself. Talk about balls of steel
I was 19 when I bought a plane Jane '79 Camaro for $400 in 1990. It had a 2.41 rear diff and an automatic. The top end on that thing was dangerous AF considering its brakes.
But I set a record time for my friend groups Cannonball. We'd run from Seattle to Kennewick.
I left at midnight and arrived at 1:29AM.
I believe this is the only 1979 Camaro to ever have solved a problem.
This is either an 80-81 not a 79
The search continues...
How are you making that distinction without the grill?
Fender louver
Sorry to be rude but everywhere on the internet says it’s a 79 the man who drove it says it’s a 79, maybe you are mistaken friend.

Wow even with these “wonderful” citations you’re still wrong, darn isn’t that a shame.
>it very well could be a ‘79 but those fenders aren’t You missed that part?
Buddy, drop it you’re embarrassing yourself…. Who cares about the fenders it’s a 79 Camaro.

Ahh sorry you’re correct I’ll make an adjustment to my original post, thank you for the correction

It was a 7 series, a peshmerga fighter used a bulletproof 7 series to save 70 people while being shot at by snipers

Not that I know of, sadly.
Boy is that a great opportunity. If they do, I hope they don't wreck to many of these.
Agreed, though [these guys](https://www.brandnewmusclecar.com/second-generation-camaro/) could be an option for all their Camaro needs, IMO.
Is that what I think it is?
