Seen a cool looking car that is in the yard of a demolition derby racer, and was wondering what it is. It's the cream coloured car behind the guy. Any ideas?  |

I thought it could be a 1970 firebird but not sure now:  edit Might be a Camaro  |

I thought Camaro as well. Pic isn't very clear but looks as if either bumper missing or possibly some sort of impact type. I had a look at loads in late '80's but every one had rot just below rear window so a common area to check (often filled). I bought a mint '76 XJ6 instead  Paul h |

I had a feeling it was a weird sedan car, not a coupe.

1975-1976 Chevy Caprice Classic. Fail. It's a 70-81 2nd-gen Camaro, specifically the mid-face from '74, where they lost the quad tail lamps and blunt front and rear ends, and went for a sloping tail with triangular lamps, and before they went all 'chest-wig' with the plastic bumpers and flares in 1977. |

Ha! To be fair I think it was a reading-the-OP-properly fail. The main car in the pic is a 75-76 Caprice  Jim Rockford used to have a Camaro as per the one in question. I do like em. |

1975-1976 Chevy Caprice Classic. You know, I should really learn to read the frickin' question properly, derp. I think second-gen Camaro, but with the wrap-around window, IMHO. |

Mid year second gen Camaro. Hard to see in the pic, but if it has the small back window it's a 74, big wrap around back window 75-77. If the wing mirrors are for sale let me know, my mate needs one!
Jim Rockford had a Firebird Esprit.

You are all 100% correct. I don't know why I remembered it that way, I had convinced myself it was a Camaro. I apologise. Although this '74 Camaro is from the Rockford Files  And here's Jim's Firechicken:  |
