What is the best way to learn about Camaros? + help identify what year
Okay so I (20 F) have been wanting to get into cars (specifically Camaros) but I have no idea where to start. I’ve been reading up on 1st and 2nd gen Camaros as I prefer the look that I call “rectangular”. I love older cars that are the long and sleek bodies. I really don’t like how over the years cars have gotten round. I want to learn about 1st-4th gen mostly and I basically have this fantasy of putting my Camaro in a show and absolutely schooling some guy on something. I don’t necessarily focus on speed, I’m more focused on the look but I do want to get into speed and engine types and everything. My boyfriend is majorly into cars and he can tell you what kind of engine it has based on just the sound and he can identify cars so quickly. I have no idea how to start learning. I’ve helped my uncle with some stuff and I know a little but honestly I’d say teach me like I have no idea cause that’s what I’m closer too.
ALSO (and potentially more importantly)
My dad passed away 11 years ago and he had a Camaro. I’ve been trying to identify it and I’m pretty sure it’s a second gen. Of course when I took pictures of the car I wasn’t really into cars so my pictures are not that helpful. But hopefully someone can help me out.
Edit: I unfortunately don’t have the VIN otherwise I’d look it up. It was my dad’s and he didn’t have a will so it was given to the oldest (my half-brother) and he’s been kinda ghosting everyone since it happened.
