Didnt the berlinetta’s come with v6’s

You mean the 1980s ones? Yeah, I think they were 2.8s at first. Now that you mention it, I think they used the Berlinetta name on the 2nd Gen F-Bodies too. What V6s did they have then? The Chevy 231 (was really a 232?) and the Buick 231 and what else? My buddy's '78 Camaro had the straight 6, couldn't kill it, we tried!

In North America, Chevrolet also produced a version of the Camaro called the Berlinetta, from 1979 to 1986.[3] The Berlinetta model was marketed as having a luxury focus, through interior features and softer suspension.0530F765-A39C-46D8-BF25-5C0C768D028E.png

I remember the 3rd Gen models with unique wheels and dash and interior colors. Weren't fast, a euro theme to them, girly cars. No, no, not Dustin's 2nd Gen, that one is quite masculine with the grill and wheels!

Some had the fancy digital dashes with radio pod that swung around. Fancy but they were gutless wonders.

Doesn't look too different from the Espirit's that James Rockford used to drive around in! Brings back a lot of memories, my buddy's first car was a '78 Camaro in that color, I was still too young to drive and got a lot time riding shotgun all over South Florida and the Keys after school and summers. Did they really have a 305 V8s back in '77?
Yeah from what I have read they came with a v6, 301, 305 & 350.

Reminds me of my dads 85 vette.
