No, actually depending on where you live, there would be the illusion of the cars selling better than they actually did, so it's not you by a long shot.

When I lived in southern California, you'd think there was no trouble selling Camaros, they were everyplace. Yet, here in NorCal, it seems to be a rare occasion coming across a 4th gen. When I tried selling my '93 for just below book in the north, it didn't move for months. When I moved to San Diego, and put it up for sale, It was gone within 2 weeks.

On the flip side, you can't keep 5.0 Mustangs in the paper in the bay area, yet in San Diego & Los Angeles, it's a buyers market.

If I remember listening to Scott correctly some years ago, the only other really hot markets for Camaro towards the end outside So Cal were Florida and Texas.

The interior quality on the MN12s is fairly high for being a early 90's car. My roommate has a 91 Cougar XR7 and the interior has held up great. There are a few rattles but nothing too horrid. I actually grew up about 10 minutes from the Lorain assembly plant, it was a pretty good blow to the local economy when the MN12 line moved out, now they're moving the Econoline manuf. out, too. Tis a dying city.

I still shoulda remembered the final year production numbers better!

But anyway, TX and FL would make a lot of sense. TX particularly, since it seemed to be a hotbed of F-body performance in terms of speed shops and such, particularly in the Houston area. Still is I guess.
