Yup, '69 Camaro. I lived in Hawaii (on Oahu) in the very early '80s, and would hop over to Big Island, Maui, & Kauai pretty much every month on business. It was all more rural than what it is now, and as far as cars &trucks, they rusted from the top down with a vengeance. There were some cool old cars there, but they were few & far between, as the saying goes. There were places where old vehicles were stacked like cordwood, being consumed by vegetation; some eventually went into the ocean to help buffer the coral reefs. The thing I recall most about Lahaina is the old Banyan tree - Mark Twain wrote, when he was there, that on occasion a convict would be hung from it. Hawaii is generally blessed with rapid & dense vegetation growth, though more on what we call the East side of the islands than the West side. I hope the people there can recover & rebuild, vs selling out to the buzzards preying on their property.

We have been to Maui three times and just love it there! Spent many days and nights in Lahaina, last time was 2022 and hung out at Fleetwoods for three nights listening to Paul West, an awesome one man show! He and his family made it through the fires, but now he doesn't know what to do. I looked through our pictures after the fire hit, such a cool place, it will never be the same again...

I could be wrong but that looks like a 69 Camaro.
I was in Lahaina a few years ago, pre-COVID, it was an awesome place to be.
Mike. What is the giveaway. the mid belt crease? Because everything else sure looks like a Ply e body. Could the crease be from the heat?

It does have a Cuda profile to it, and with the car being burned up that good it does require looking at the details to sort it out.
Many Cuda owners' have had their cars called Camaros over the years by people not familiar with the differences.

Many Cuda owners' have had their cars called Camaros over the years by people not familiar with the differences. The C-pillar (sail panel) looks very similar to a 70-74 B-Fish, but if you see the door, it's a '69 Camaro. And the header panel/grill surround. Camaro all the way.

Many Cuda owners' have had their cars called Camaros over the years by people not familiar with the differences. Seems there are a few here also. Look at the body line coming off the front wheel and the closed in grill opening. Dead giveaway.

Definitely see Chebby in rear haunches, front of doors style line, and grille surround. Phew, thank goodness not a Mopar.

Must mean the Neon (not the Camaro)?
Wonder if the rockers rusted out like the rest of them
