Can you still dally drive a classic FBody? 

I've never drove anything but classics, the "newest" car I have driven was a 85 Cutlass in the early 2000's. First they are cheaper to drive overall. No $700 Car Payment, no $350 insurance premium every month, I can do my own maintainence, in my driveway/garage for nothing more than the price of the parts with a team of technitions and lastly they fun to drive and make me happy, I smile every time I climb out my car, I've NEVER seen someone get out of a Honda Civic or Hundyai Santa Fe smiling because they were just driving it.

I just got a 1980 Z28 and it's going to be my daily driver and yes I'm an old dude and I grew up with these cars .

Cooler than driving most of the boring shit you see on the road

I've had two, and yes, of course you can. But if you live in the rust belt, you shouldn't be driving it in the winter; it's going to rust out, which will take yet another F-body off the road. We need to preserve these cars

I used to drive one of these everyday from 85 to 89. They work fine, drove around Orlando, Niagara Falls, lived in both places. Drove in the winter too, inclement weather. I put the car together after previous owner had a front end collision, Very minor actually, Repainted it. Took a lot of girls out in the car.

Late 70s through early 80s Camaro, firebird, and corvettes were beautiful to look at but had cheap interiors and emissions choked power. I owned an 81 Camaro new through 88.

Absolutely - I’ve been daily driving my 1977 Camaro for the last 3 years as my only car. It’s a 250 straight 6 so she’s not too thirsty on gas and is super super reliable.

Great color combo . So much more unique than a newer plastic version

I occasionally drive my 78 Camaro to work. It's a 83 mile round trip. But it isn't always fun. No A/C so some day's even with the sun roof and windows open. The 4 speed manual and 350 do make up for it. I also have the Holly Sniper Quadrajet it is much better but can be finicky and running a return line to the tank was interesting.

I might pick up a 1980 camaro for a first car. Guy just rebuilt the motor and replaced the 305 with a 350

Built 350 with Holley EFI. Or just an EFI upgrade would be sweet!

✨️Yes✨️you can it's a car easy to maintain that outlasted newer cars ✨️still going ❤

Best of all, they very easy to work on, maintenance parts plentiful and cheap, a little pricey on restoration parts, but if you love the car, worth it.

During the summer of 2007 and 2008 I drove a 1976 Trans am and a 1976 Camaro as daily drivers. I alternated week by week with them. I spent a ton of money on fuel those 2 summers! The Trans am had a bone stock 400 and the Camaro had a built 350.

I try not to let mine sit outside in the hot sun for long periods of time, especially during the summer, so that rules out driving it to work. The heat isn't good for the already old and brittle interior plastics. I bought my '87 back in 2007 and the a/c never worked, but I just got it working a few weeks ago.

nice car! i’m 18 and i have a 79 camaro with some goodies in it and i daily drive it. very expensive with gas and the ams oil i run in it.

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it! It just randomly appeared on my youtube feed

Beautiful car man

"Can you still dally drive a classic FBody?" You've got to be kidding. I have daily driven a homemade '23 T Bucket and a '65 Mustang. I currently daily drive a 1968 Ford F-250 and a 1972 Ford Pinto Squire wagon.

Nice car just subbed👍🏾 We love f-bodies here in Michigan

I drive an 81Z everyday and have for the last 6 plus years. 476k miles on fist engine only 1 years with original engine. Oh and still driving on original upper&lower ball joints. Love it

Beautiful car.

Who are these people that say you "can't"?? Sure there are some factors that come into play such as handling, braking and acceleration as compared to a newer car of ANY kind, and then of course creature comforts. But those are things you choose to absorb into your daily driving routine of you choose to drive one of these. The two things I would make sure are upgraded are brakes and power. Power?? Yes- having enough power to maneuver and accelerate is a safety feature in my opinion. Being able to merge onto the interstate, pass another car in a timely manner. Power plays a huge role in safety, not just fun. We've got a little Turbo charged VW Tiguan and I'll tell I can get the hell away or out of the way of a lot of cars on the road. Matter of fact that Tiguan is faster than the stock 350TPI IROC we just sold.

Awesome

beautiful car!

As long as it runs good and you can afford gas yes you can daily drive.

nice car bro

Yes. You can daily drive any classic. The question is what you're willing to deal with instead of the boring modern "get in and go" a to b experience. If you're heart's in it do it. Feel no shame and love every minute of it. Everyone will wish they were as bold, and you can tell them that they, too, can be free.

It's a beautiful car. I see you have the wiper delay too. It's a shame you're going to modify it. I think it's amazing as an all original car. What was that model that you had in the driveway?

I mean, if you're not in a hurry.... I get stalled with mine all the time everywhere I go 😂😂

Sold mine in 04 wish I would have kept it

What was your mpg

Who would say you can't? You could drive one every single day provided it was in good working order.

how is the fuel line ? i heard that new gas doesn't work well with the old gas line

What??? Can it be driven daily? Do you have the key?

Will you sale this car ❤

There is no reason why you can't drive anything made from the mid-60's on as a daily driver. People used to drive these cars as their daily drivers back then, and they are still as good to drive today. The cars from the 50's and earlier can be an issue as they were never meant to drive on the highways we have today, they were never meant to go 80 MPH for hundreds of miles on end, the gearing on these cars does not work on the highways.

Z28

383 would set her off!

That's what ya get for lookin under the hood.

Multiplying or a car turd?
