Internet Car Shopping
My Godson, 16 years old, is looking to buy his first car. A 1987-1992 Camaro. Is there any other website he should be researching other than Autotrader and Fleabay? Yeah, I know he should buy a Vette but his Dad already has an LT-1.

I would personally talk him into a Vette but that is his/yours and his fathers choice.
Craigslist.com is a good spot to search for cars in your local area.
I know of some other sites but they are mostly local to the Houston/Dallas area which wouldnt be much help to you.
Either way, GL with the search!

I've owned several F-Body cars over the years. The TBI cars are great on gas and have power when needed, the TPI cars are quicker of course. The good thing is he'll have two engine choices (three if he finds a very rare 6-cylinder), the 5.0 and 5.7 liter, both good powerplants as we know. He'd be better off doing an extensive search and finding a one-owner car as the F-Body's get pretty beat up by kids. Check eBay, many to be found there.
I traded this F-Body for the Corvette:
I gave my sister this one and she still drives it today:

16 years old? Make that F-body a V6 model... everybody will be happier for it (especially the insurance company)

Kids will be kids, be it in a Camaro or a Honda. If the car is capable of going faster than 55, the kids will drive them that fast. I'd rather see a kid in American Metal rather than recycled Japanese beer cans.
