This 1981 Camaro is in it for the long haul

In 1981 I was going through a mid-life crisis. I decided to buy a new car to raise my spirits and my outlook on life. Back in the early sixties, during my high school years, my first car had been a ’62 Biscayne. And since all my subsequent cars had been Chevys, I stayed with Chevy. My mid-life crisis car would be a Citrus Metallic Orange 1981 Camaro coupe with the 3.8 V6, 3-speed gear box and Rally Wheels. I took delivery on Friday 13, February 1981. The car was purchased at Marsden Chevrolet in Towson, MD. When I drove it to work the following Monday, my coworkers laughed, calling it the “Great Pumpkin on wheels”.
