Long lost love (Camaro SS) Wants to return home. Dilemma!!!!

[Justin at Final Inspection]

So as most of you know I have a pretty clean well maintained GTO with a host of goodies including a new Procharger setup. What most don`t know is that the only reason I had originally bought this car was due to a tough finical decision a little over 3 years ago forcing me to sell my pride and joy of over 10 years. My 2000 SS Camaro.







So the Camaro was a little less street friendly being swapped over to a built TH350 transmission with trans brake, 4400 converter, Moser 9 inch rearend, 4.11 gear, big cam, nitrous setup, NO A/C but full interior with stereo system and leather. Plus who can forget the expensive custom paint job I had done. Basically the car was a street strip car that I really couldn`t justify having at that point in my life. My oldest son was devastated when I sold it as he loved the sound and helping dad!





So fast forward to about 1.5 weeks ago while I was in Florida detailing. I get a message from the owner basically stating he is thinking of selling and wants me to buy it back. No major issues with it other than being dirty lol.

So here`s my dilemma. I can sell my GTO, buy the Camaro back and finish building it how I always wanted too and have more memories with my kids. And pocket a few thousand dollars in the process. My wife and kids are definitely on board.

Or I pass on my only chance to get it back and continue with the GTO. As of now I do have the GTO listed for sale but not sure how long it will take to sell. Really in a pickle here lol. Anyone want a gto pm me lol!

You have to go with the Camaro. Before you know it the kids are grown and gone doing their own thing. Go for it...besides it's a Camaro what's to think about??? ��

Ha-ha. That's exactly how I feel bud. This one has sentimental value.

I'm an f-body nut so the Camaro is a no-brainer for me! :-p

I just sold my 2000 Firehawk because I had a daughter in February and I never got to drive it and I could really use the money for something more useful at this point in my life.

Sentimental value will always beat everything else out, especially if now you are in a position where you can buy it back.

I say go with your gut bro.

Well thanks guys for chiming in. It really boils down to finding a buyer now for the GTO.

I doubt that will be an issue. They have a strong following.

Yeah the problem is that they have dropped in price for stockish ones so younger kids are getting hold of them and destroying them. The majority can't spend 17k for one.

I sold my 00 Camaro back in '10 or '11 and haven't looked back. Probably would never go back to one after experiencing a couple other platforms. Now I'd love to have my '70 SS again though.
Just my $.02.
